Additional Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
6) I would like to put together a 3-5 minute video with my footage.
I need my edit done quickly. How long will it take?
Video editing and other post production work is often
customized. Talk with us and show us your footage so we can determine
the fastest and most economical delivery. Often overlooked, emerging
technology allowing for very fast shooting and/or tapeless cameras
and downloading of online media may require preparation of your materials
before actual editing begins. We typically work on a first-come, first-serve
basis, but rush service is available for those unforseen and last-minute
emergency situations.
7) I run a wedding videography company. Can you work with me?
We work with clients who price their offerings in
a package format and work with them at a fair rate to ensure high
quality and repeat patronage. We value long term relationships with
our clients and referrals. We will go the extra mile for you.
8) I am a wedding/event coordinator. What can you do for me?
We can help your videographers with the videos that
they shoot for you by handling their editing backlog, ensuring timely
delivery for your clients and increasing your bottom line while often decreasing your task load and stress level.
9) My corporate video department at my company is overflowed with
past training seminars/presentations/events that need to be edited.
Can you help us?
Absolutely. We can put together your speakers, training
exercises, panels, slideshows, and videos all together in one tight
presentation that is sure to please everyone.
10) My event was shot and remains unedited. Can you pick up where
they left off?
Definitely. If your wedding, corporate affair or other
footage was shot be a family member or friend or your professional
videographer was not able to finish your project for whatever reason,
we can finish it for you! As us for additional details.
11) I'm a producer with piles of raw footage and do not know where
to begin. How can you help me?
We are a resource for you and can work with you to
make your post production experience far less cumbersome. We can advise
what pick-ups may be needed as well as addressing your continuity
issues to bring your projects to delivery.
12) I'm a video production professional and have solid editing skills,
but I have no immediate access to professional-grade editing equipment
or an office with a professional atmosphere. How can you help me?
We offer an economical alternative to the editing
pros out there. Our editing suites are available for use here in our
studio office at a discounted rate. A technician is also included
to address any operational concerns. See our Editing
Suites page for more information.
13) I have a sister's wedding that I shot and need edited,
but I see I can get add-on hardware and software to my PC for less
than $100. Why should I consider having this work done professionally
instead?
We edit video, add graphics and create Blu Rays and DVDs on a daily
basis. We have many years of experience using professional-grade equipment.
Such "deals" for editing hardware and software are meant for very
basic projects. This equipment can become frustrating to use - issues
such as overheating, choking can add unneeded stress with the heavy
computing requirements that video brings. In addition, such equipment
may not have all the capabilities that you would come to expect to
deliver a beautiful finished piece. Consider your relaxation needs
and the long term enjoyment of your finished work, rather than deal
with possible aggrivation that can be avoided.
14) I need an event shot and edited in one package. Can you do that?
Yes. While we specialize in post production, we can
arrange for a professional shooter - most often from our client base.
We can all work together to ensure a wonderful finished video, with
you making just one phone call. Or we can simply refer you to a videographer.
15) What genres of video do you work with?
Event, Corporate, Industrial, Narrative, Travel, Military,
Experimental, Animation, Individual - just to name some.
16) What groups to you cater to?
Corporations, Government Agencies, Non Profits, Filmmakers, Videographers, Independents, Film and Video Festivals, Consumers and more.
17) What passions drive Pro Cuts?
Our desire for top quality service and our love of
video editing and the underwater world!
18) I have no time to come to your studios. Can we send the materials
to you? Can your staff visit me at my home or office?
Yes! Ask us for more details when we speak with you. Visit our Video Editing Services page for electronic data transfer (upload/download) of your materis as well as shipping information.
19) I have my own video team in place and need some assitance with
determining our editing needs. Can you help?
Yes. We can work with your organization to lead your
post production efforts or work alongside your existing team. See our Consultation page for more information.
20) How do I prepare for an in-person or telephone consultation prior
to the start of my project?
Gather much information as possible and as well organized
as possible. This includes your footage, any production notes, special
needs, etc. See our Consultation page for more information.
21) I have so much material and unsure what to do once my project
is completed. What should I do if I wish to keep my source files on
your system or make a copy?

days following final delivery. Additional storage time is available
beyond that period. For those not doing work with us, we offer these
solutions to you as well. Rates start at $30
per month. Please ask us for a quote should your materials exceed
