Editing
Based in Wetherby and
Leeds, providing a national service , including DVD authoring and full
reproduction and art sevices.
We provide a comprehensive editing service, using state-of the art computer based non-linear editing systems
This system allows loss-less reproduction from digital input to digital output. In layman’s terms this means that the edited digital picture and audio quality remains virtually the same as on the original footage.
Formats
Our preferred format is digital (DVCam, DV), although we can handle other formats
including Hi8, Video8, SVHS and VHS (inc the 'C' versions)
Effects
Our digital editing systems come with hundreds of transitions and special
effects. Our editors know when and how to use them in the best possible way.
Library shots
Need a helicopter shot of New York? Or perhaps a 30 second shot of a beach in
the Bahamas? If you want to fly us out to those locations to get them, we’ll
be very pleased to do that for you. Alternatively, for a lot less money, we can
get hold of library shots of these. Prices can vary, depending on the length and
complexity of what you want – but if it’s there, we can get it.
Music
Visuals alone don't look right without some kind of introductory or background music.
We have an in-house library of copyright-free music covering most
themes and moods, which is supplied free to you, the customer.
Customer
input
We are very happy to take directions from our customers. Quite often we
supply time-coded raw footage tapes which our clients then can peruse in their
own time, making their own edit decision list of what’s definitely required.
This not only saves the client editing time and therefore money, it also allows
them to make sure that they definitely have everything they want on their edit.
Home videos
We often edit customers’ home videos, shot on Mini DV, VHS, VHS-C, Video8 or Hi8, as
well as digital formats. Frequently this is done in conjunction with the
customer or after we have been supplied with an edit decision list from one of
our time-coded copies. We can also include slides, cine films, and film
interviews for inclusion. See Family Heirlooms.
Copyright
If the material we are given to edit is under copyright by anyone other than
our clients, then we have to have the owner’s permission in writing by law
before we are allowed to proceed to edit it or reproduce it it any way.
Security
Any materials sent to us to be edited should be sent by registered post for
added security. Master material is returned to our clients the same way, unless
arrangements have been made to pick it up in person.
