"Exactly what is a Video Photo Album??" Each photo will appear on your TV screen for approximately 6 seconds while your choice of music plays in the background. Your photos will transition from one to the next with a wide variety of different special effects. Your photos will transform from small 4X6" size to the size of your TV screen!! You'll see details you missed before. And the order of the photos will tell your special story of growing up, special times together, watching the family grow, etc. When you add music, it adds emotion, and the effects between the photos are spectacular. This is a fantastic gift that you will treasure for years to come! "What about music for my video?" One song is required for approximately each 25 photos. This of course varies depending on how long each song is. You choose the songs you want on your video. You must own a copy of the song(s) you want to use, and your video must be used for your personal use only, and you cannot sell the video. We can help you with song suggestions. "How else can my video be personalized?" In addition to choosing your background music, we also offer opening and closing titles. We can also put titles on some of your photos too, if you want. Let us know what you want for your title, for example, "John & Linda... Through the Years," "Bobby's First Year," even "Mom & Dad...50 Years Together." Almost any size photo will work; however, standard 4X6 inch or 5X7 inch work the best. But you can add smaller or larger ones. We even "touch up" the photos digitally to make them clearer when they are viewed on TV. The cost is only $1.50 per photo, plus $5 per song. You can use approximately 25 photos per song. Video clips can be inserted for $5.00 each. Any video clips that require special editing will be charged an additional editing fee. Additional copies of your DVD or video are also available for only $10.00 each. "Can I add titles in my video?" A standard Opening and Closing Title is included at no extra charge. Additional Titles at $4.00 per screen may be superimposed over any photo or background to introduce the various sections of your video. "Can I add my home video or home movies to this project?" Of course. Simply describe each video event that you would like to include, making sure to explain clearly what's happening at the starting point and the ending point of each clip, and exactly where you would like each video clip to appear on your finished video: (for example, between photo #45 and #46). Then cue up each of your video tapes to the first clip to be used from each video. If you have home movies in 8mm or 16mm format that you want added to your video, we can do that also, however we need to first convert your old movies to VHS format . "What is the cost of each video clip?" Video clips are $5 each. There are no limits with regard to the total number of clips or the length of each clip. Each video edit, however, is regarded as one video clip. In other words, each video clip must have only one in-point and out-point. Any video clips that require special editing will be charged an additional editing fee. For example, you may want to "splice" several scenes together to form one clip. "Can I see samples of your Video Photo Albums?" Of course. Just call (410) 570-4691 or e-mail Don@Smithvideo.com to make arrangements to see a sample. We can also provide references from satisfied customers as well. "What forms of payment do you accept?" We accept personal or company checks, money orders, or you can pay with your Credit Card using our secure online Payment service. "What is the approximate turn-around time for my order?" Your order should be completed within ten working days after we receive all materials. First gather all your photos and put them in the order that you want them to appear on your video. Number each photo on the back or attach a numbered Post-it note to each. Because ink may run, we suggest that you use pencil only so you don't mark up your photos. Decide what you want for an Opening and Closing Title, and pick the songs that you want to use. Keep in mind that one song is required for approximately each 25 photos. We have a wide variety of music we can use for your video, but you should contact us to see if we have the songs you want. If we don't have the songs you want here, if you provide us with a tape, CD, or even vinyl record of the song- we'll use it and get it back to you with your photos. And contact us for song suggestions if you want, we can provide you with a list of hundreds of song selections. "Can I send photos to you and do this by mail, if so how?" Absolutely! We suggest that you use Federal Express or UPS, and we will, of course, return your completed project (along with your photos and other materials) by the same carrier. Please make sure we have a Daytime phone number where we can reach you if we have questions about your order. "What if I have additional questions?" Call us at (410) 570-4691, or e-mail your question to: Don@Smithvideo.com.
