Music Questions
Back to VHS to DVD FAQ
Do I need to supply music, or will you do that?
We have a selection of generic music you can choose from or you can send us any selections from your own music library.
What music formats do you accept?
We accept music on CD.
How do you edit the music?
It varies, depending on the length of your project, the most appropriate use of the song and the way the song is working with your photos/video etc. We can also, and often do, fade songs up and down early (ie: shorten them). You can either direct us in this area (via the order form), or give us permission to use our discretion.
What if the song I select is actually shorter than the images?
Not a problem, we can either add some of our own filler music, or you can send us an additional song to fade to.
If I only want part of a song and are burning it to CD send to you, should I only record the part of the song I want?
No, please send us the entire song, and just direct us as to when you would like us to fade it up and down.
I know exactly when I want the music to play behind each photo, I have timed it perfectly. Can you match my instructions?
We can come close, but it's unlikely we'll be able to match your vision exactly, as you also need to allow for the addition of seconds here and there for transitions, titles etc. Because not all of the special effect transitions we use are exactly the same, some of your images may play shorter or longer than the average of six seconds...so unfortunately, we won't be able to match your timing down to the second, though we can try to fade music up or down on the image you decide on.
How many music selections should I use?
That depends on the length of your project. For a short project, a good ratio to work on is approximately one song/music piece for every 20-30 pictures. eg: if you have 100 pictures, that would be up to five songs (or parts thereof).
