Video Sharing for Grown-Ups!










 

Edit, Organize, Preserve & Share your Wedding Video So hiring a pro isn't in the budget. Times are a little tougher than you thought they would be at this point in your life, but you're wedding will be magic, just the same. The problem is, you're only getting married once. Your life is a movie and this is the opening scene. You had better make certain these precious moments are still preserved on videotape. If you can't have a professional videographer at your wedding, you MUST plan an alternative. Here are a few important tips to ensure this day doesn't just become a memory but is preserved to enjoy years into the future:   Find a Handy Friend Find one or more friends or relatives to film the event. In this day of high-tech gadgets, someone within your circle of people undoubtedly is an aspiring junior Spielberg. Tap into their passion... and make sure they (or you) bring a tripod so you don't get dizzy when you watch your video!   Use Digital Video Cameras Understanding that your Spielberg won't have the kind of equipment the pros use, make sure they at least have a consumer-grade digital video camera. If they don't, find someone else. It's just that important.  If you are going to purchase a digital camcorder, be sure to read our guide to purchasing a digital camcorder.   One Tape is Not Enough Make sure to get more than one tape and have your friend keep track of the event AND how much videotape is left. The pros have this part down. They never run out of tape in the middle of the vows. Make sure your person doesn't either.   Always Make a Backup! Make an immediate copy of the tape. Even a VHS copy of your tape will suffice. In the unlikely event of an accident, something is better than nothing. The moment will be preserved, if not the quality.   Send Your Tapes to HomeMovie.Com & Make Your Wedding Movie As soon as you can, send your tapes to HomeMovie.Com for immediate processing. We'll have your wedding footage online in your account a couple of days after we receive the tapes. You can start sharing your video with your family and friends immediately, but even better, you can start editing the footage in our user-friendly online editing interface. Under no circumstances should you let your Spielberg edit your tapes from the originals themselves. This is a can of worms that too many newlyweds have opened up with a family friend. If something happens, there will be no turning back. If your Spielberg wants to work on editing your material, have them go online to our site to edit.   Share, Share, Share! After the editing is completed online, and your wedding video is just perfect, you can continue to add loved ones to your "sharing" list... view your wedding online... order professional DVDs of your wedding video for only $15/each... even download your wedding scenes to your video iPod!  Your wedding video is ready to be an heirloom treasured for generations.
