makes the wedding video special. In order to make sure that your effort is getting the

emotional impact that you want, you'll need to know some tricks for putting together a

compelling edit that your client can cherish forever. One of the hardest things to gauge

when it comes to wedding videos is figuring out what type of services you should offer.

Budgets vary from one wedding video to the next, so it's best to have a production package

that even those on the tightest of budgets can afford. Diversity is key to any successful

business and weddings are no exception, and because of this, you'll want to offer special

services like love stories or even slideshows, and the best part is these can all be done

before the wedding even starts. Love stories are short video stories detailing how the

bridge and groom fell in love. It will include interviews while showing video of them together

in a romantic setting. On the other hand, a memory slideshow is usually pictures of

the couple from the time they're young until the time they got engaged set to music. For

emphasis, these photos are linked into a video editing application while using key frames

for scale and position. These videos can give added value to your production and are very

enticing for your clients as they can see it right at the wedding itself. With the power

and speed of video editing laptops getting faster and faster every day, it might be a

good idea to offer same-day edits. Same-day edits give you competitive advantage over

other wedding video services, as they allow the bridge and the groom to see highlights

of the wedding before the excitement of the day wears off. Pulling off same-day edits

requires some preplanning and some extra equipment. You'll need to have a powerful laptop that

you can set up in an area close to where the event is happening. While the reception is

underway you can pull the footage from your camera and edit it to a template that you

have previously made. Once you have done that you can connect your laptop to a projector

and show everyone at the reception an artistic perspective on the wedding day. Now that you've

captured everything, you've come to the next important step, editing the ceremony and reception.

This is a step where you can turn your footage into something special.

If you've shot the wedding with multiple cameras, then your first step will be syncing up each

piece of the footage with your audio. To make this process easier, some companies have designed

plug-ins that can analyze the audio from each video track in your production and sync them

up automatically. If you don't have this luxury, you can sync your cameras by placing markers

where camera flashes occur in your video and then shifting your footage so that each camera

flash in the video lines up with one another. Most professional editing applications also

have a multi-cam feature that will allow you to cut your video much like a director would

at a live event, by clicking on the footage you want while playing back the video. Once

you have done that you can go back in your timeline and add common transitions to your

edits, such as cross-dissolves, additive dissolves and fade to blacks. In order to give your

wedding videos a more professional touch, you may want to think about making a themed

menu system that will allow you to get to the most important parts quickly, along with

a printed graphic on the DVD surface. In order to make a themed-menu, you might want to think about customizing a template

found in a popular DVD authoring program. From there, you can add chapters to your videos

at areas of interest, such as the exchanging of the rings and the bride's entrance. Once

the DVD is burned, you can use inkjet printable disks in order to print a graphic on the front

of your DVD which will ultimately look more professional. Since the DVD cover and the

menu is the first thing your clients will see, making it look professional will get

you started off right. There is nothing more rewarding than the look on people's faces

as they watch the magic of their wedding day. By knowing some helpful tips for creating

wedding videos right, you too can ensure that all your wedding videos are as special as

the wedding day itself. [End of Audio] Post Production Page PAGE of NUMPAGES www.verbalink.com
