Here are some answers to the most commonly asked questions concerning our video production and photo to video transfer at Video Production Victoria.com
 

Q: Which photos will look the best?
A: Close ups reproduce the best. We also find that horizontal photos are usually better as well. Vertical photos will be either cropped to horizontal, or panned from bottom to top. You can send us photos of any size, black and white or color.

Q: Do I need to put them in any particular order for you?
A: Yes you do. Number the photos carefully on the back with a pen and arrange them in the order you wish them to appear. If you have larger photos, slides or films that you wish to include, use a piece of paper taped to the item in the correct orde
r.

Q: Can I have Captions?
A: Yes you certainly can. There is a $5.00 charge for each caption. Usually people like to start and finish with a title such as "A time to remember".

Q: How many photos will I need?
A: Generally images are displayed for 5 to 6 seconds, so we find that about 100 photos results in about a 10 minute video, 200 photos about 20 minutes and so on.

Q: What about music?
A: We have a large selection of music, (view list here), that you can choose from, or for an extra charge of $10.00 per song, you can provide your own music selections on CD for us to use. A 10 minute presentation of 100 photos commonly has 3 or 4 songs. If possible, we recommend a change of tempo amongst the selections, fast-slow fast etc.

Q: Can I combine slides and photos or old 8mm film or modern video in my presentation?
A: Yes, at Video Production Victoria, we can accommodate any of the above formats.

Q: Are the DVDs that you burn compatible with my DVD player?
A: The DVDs that we create are burned on DVD-R media, which is compatible with the vast majority of home DVD players. To check compatibility for your specific player, visit: www.apple.com/dvd/compatibility or www.dvdrhelp.com/dvdplayers.php. If you would like, we are able to include a free copy on VHS in addition to your DVD.

Q: How long will it take to produce my presentation?
A: We find that generally it will take between 10 and 14 days studio time to complete your project, depending of course on how may photos etc that you wish to use.
