Answers
  1. How long after I send you all my material does it take for me to get my Video-Album©?

    Our typical turn around time is 2-4 weeks. We do have “Rush Jobs” available for last minute gifts and unforeseen events such as a death in the family.

  2. How long does it take for you to complete another project such as VHS to DVD, or converting my pictures to digital form?

    It depends on the job really. Some time it’s as little as 24 hours. But larger jobs require more time. Upon a request for one of our services, you will receive an estimate on the time it will take to complete.

  3. What kind of photos can I provide? Will you accept slides and negatives?

    We will accept ANY kind of photograph. Digital is preferred due to its higher quality, but we can convert all kinds of photos. Slides are very common for us. What better way to preserve those old memories then putting them into a Video-Album.

  4. If I send you pictures and/or slides, will I get the digital copy back as well as the one used for the Video?

    Absolutely! This is one of many free services when you purchase a Video-Album© from us. You will receive a CD with the digital photos with your order.

  7. What music can I use in my Video-Album©?

    You can use any song or music you like. To include copyrighted music you must own the recording to be used in your Video-Album©. Use of the track will be covered under your fair use rights of ownership. If you cannot provide an original CD or tape with the song you want, we will purchase the CD for you, and include that in the final price. Then you will receive the CD with your order.

    With every Video-Album© that you order, a personal video consultant will be assigned to you. This person will then be your main contact and will be in frequent contact with you to ensure that your video is being created to your personal likening. No other Video-Album©, or “photomontage” production company offers this exceptional service!
