Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is it hard to share video information over the internet?
A: Once your video is edited and set up to reach the internet by a professional editor, you will be sent a link that can be emailed to anyone in the world or posted on any web-site. It is a program, commercial and live “television” experience created by you that can now be instantly share with the world.
Just as you can change your own oil in your car or do your own dry cleaning you can also edit and upload video on your own with some training and trial and error, but this is one of those you will most likely want to hire a professional to handle. You will be very impressed with the editing techniques and ability of our videographers to make you look and sound like a real pro in your marketing, information and entertainment endeavors.
 Q: Why is video on-line not quite as clear and sharp as still images?
A: Each frame of a video is equal to one picture. As you know a video takes thousands of pictures every few seconds and there is an extraordinary amount of data that needs to be transferred across the internet network to play a “movie”. This extreme amount of data takes enormous amounts of bandwidth and fast delivery systems and high speed computers to play video. This has been one of the barriers to playing video on-line in the past. These delivery systems and computers were just not able to handle the data transfers needed to play video on your home computer. Well, the systems and computers have now caught up with streaming video technology and we are able to watch TV on-line. It is still not as clear as looking at one image because again video is thousands of pictures being sent to your computer all at one time. Though delivery systems and computers are getting better every day, video as clear as one still image is still a year or two away.
The TV in the 1950’s was not as good as the ones we have today, but people still watched because it was a new medium that was never before seen; just as video on line-today. There will be High Definition viewing on-line in the future and video will be as clear as still images as technology continues to advance.
With this being said, you will still be very impressed with the on-line video experience.
Q: I am not a pro or a TV personality, I just know it. Is this a problem?
A: Every single person has their own personality, ideas and brand. Be yourself and enhance your brand with the use of video. Speak from the heart and let your passion show. This isn’t about being a perfect TV celebrity; it is about ideas, imagination, and creativity.
