Frequently Asked Questions

How much footage can I send for a home video project?

There's no strict limit, but typical projects work well with 30 minutes to 3 hours of raw footage. More footage requires more time to review and edit, which affects pricing. We can provide custom quotes for projects with extensive footage.

Can you combine video from multiple phones and cameras?

Yes! This is very common for family events where multiple people record from different devices. We combine all footage, match colors, synchronize timing, and create a cohesive final video that includes the best moments from all sources.

How do you handle shaky smartphone footage?

We use professional stabilization software to smooth out camera shake and movement. While extremely shaky footage can't be perfectly stabilized, we can significantly improve most handheld phone videos.

Can you add music to my home videos?

Absolutely! We can add royalty-free background music that matches the mood and pacing of your video. If you have specific songs you'd like to use (for personal, non-commercial use), you can provide them, or we can select appropriate music from our library.

What if I have old VHS tapes or camcorder footage?

We can work with digitized versions of old footage. If you need digitization services, we can recommend providers, or if you're located in certain areas, we can arrange pickup and digitization. Once digitized, we edit old footage alongside new content.

How long does home video editing typically take?

Simple projects (30 minutes of footage) take 3-5 business days. Standard projects (1-2 hours footage) take 5-7 days. Complex projects with extensive footage may take 7-10 days. Rush service is available for urgent needs with expedited delivery.
