Where To Start?

No appointment is required, you can come in anytime between 9-5, Monday-Friday to drop off your photos and music. Please follow these simple instructions BEFORE you come in, to save you some time after you arrive.

1. Organize the pictures you are wanting to use in the order you want them to appear and number them on the back either with a pencil, quick drying pen or a post-it type note you can write the number on.

Don’t use a regular ink pen because the ink can transfer to the other photos

Tip -Try to choose pictures that are horizontal (wider than they are tall) because they will more closely fit your television screen. If a picture needs special cropping, such as a person you don’t want in the picture, cover that person with a post-it type note, or make sure you let us know when you bring it in. We can also use announcements, clippings and other memorabilia.

2. Choose what music you want played with your video. Then, on a sheet of paper, list which song you want played with what pictures. The average time that each picture stays on the screen is 6 seconds. That time can be lengthened or shortened to fit your song or the song can be repeated or faded out to fit your pictures. One song will cover about 20 to 25 pictures.

3. Next, you’ll need to come up with a simple beginning and ending title for your video. Then bring your photos, music and instruction list to Video Memories. The rest is up to us.

We ask that you allow two-weeks for us to get the project done. It doesn’t actually take us two weeks to complete it, but it allows us to get the jobs done in the order they come in. If we do finish the order before that two week period, we call you and let you know it is done. If you can’t wait the two weeks, we may be able to have someone work overtime for an additional charge to place your order ahead of everyone else’s. Make sure to tell us if it is a surprise, so when we call to let you know it’s finished we don’t spoil the surprise.

Please call us today for more information! 661-398-7075

Consultations and estimates are free.

A QR Code is a specific matrix barcode (or two-dimensional code), readable by dedicated QR Barcode reader and camera phones. The code consists of black modules arranged in a square pattern on a white background. The information encoded can be text, URL or other data.

Common in Japan, where it was created by Toyota subsidiary Denso-Wave in 1994, the QR code is one of the most popular types of two-dimensional barcodes. QR is the abbreviation for Quick Response, as the creator intended the code to allow its contents to be decoded at high speed.

Although initially used for tracking parts in vehicle manufacturing, QR Codes are now used in a much broader context, including both commercial tracking applications and convenience-oriented applications aimed at mobile phone users (known as mobile tagging). QR Codes can be used to display text to the user, to add a vCard contact to the user’s device, to open a URL or to compose an email or text message. Users can also generate and print their own QR Code for others to scan and use by visiting one of several free QR Code generating sites. Here one that I use.http://qrcode.kaywa.com/

QR Codes storing addresses and URLs may appear in magazines, on signs, buses, business cards, or on just about any object about which users might need information. Users with a camera phone equipped with the correct reader application can scan the image of the QR Code to display text, contact information, connect to a wireless network, or open a web page in the phone’s browser.

Google’s mobile Android operating system supports the use of QR codes by natively including the barcode scanner (ZXing) on some models, and the browser supports URL redirection, which allows QR Codes to send metadata to existing applications on the device. Nokia’s Symbian operating system is also provided with a barcode scanner, which is able to read QR Codes, while mbarcode is a QR code reader for the Maemo operating system. In the Apple iOS a QR Code reader is not natively included, but some iTunes Apps, for free, are available. I use i-nigma 4 for my iPhone because it is free.

Once you have an app on your smart phone launch it and point it a QR Code to see where it takes you. Google provides this to you for your business once you claim your business in Google Places. Have fun!

Today a lot of film sits stored in attics, closets, and garages. Besides not being seen and appreciated, this film can actually be deteriorating. Over the years the color fades, and film becomes brittle. It’s true that they don’t make projectors for it anymore, but Video Memories has specialized equipment to transfer those old home movies to DVD for you to enjoy, share, and preserve. You may have tried transferring your film yourself but shooting it off a wall or through a mirror box can be less than satisfying. Dim images, loss of color, and flicker can spoil the transfer.

At Video Memories, transferring your home movies is not an automated process. It involves a skilled technician, the latest in digital technology, and professional equipment to capture every frame. We add light instrumental background music, at no extra charge, while transferring it to DVD. The result is a professionally mastered video for you to enjoy and share for years to come. We have been transferring film since 1983. We value your film and treat it with care through the entire process.

Sharing your old home movies with those that you love has never been easier. Transfers make great gifts for birthdays, Mothers Day, Christmas, or any special occasion. Additional DVD copies are inexpensive and make great gifts. Gather up your home movies and talk with one of our experts. Estimates are free!

Once you’re happy with your final result, you’ll need to save the video in a format that YouTube can accept in order to upload. Unless you’re a professional video producer, we recommend that you save your videos as either QuickTime .MOV, Windows .AVI, or .MPG files— these are the most common formats and they work well within our system. We specifically recommend the MPEG4 (Divx, Xvid) format at 640×480 resolution with MP3 audio.

Resizing your video to these specifications before uploading will help your clips look better on YouTube.

Here’s a summary of the audio and video specifications you need for the best results on YouTube. For further details, please read the information listed directly below this summary.

YouTube recently began offering users an option to view content in high definition- 1080p resolution (when the source upload supports it). Please note, we are currently experimenting with this feature and optimizing it accordingly, so we can’t guarantee that your videos will always be transcoded into this format with this user option present.

YouTube accepts video files from most digital cameras and camcorders, and cell phones in the .AVI, .MOV, .WMV, and .MPG file formats.

Please note: your video must meet our uploading requirements: no larger than 2GB and no more than 10 minutes in length. If your video does not meet these requirements you will need to re-edit the video file on your computer then upload the new file to our site.

This is the first impression of your company’s website. It should be branded to your company. That means using your company’s logo and colors. It should have a few photos that represent your company. It could have a short video to get them to stay longer on your site. This page should contain a brief description of the services and products you offer. It should be friendly and informative. Bullet points also work well on a home page. Most visitors browse a website’s homepage quickly. They look to see if there is any reason for them to go deeper into the site. They want to find this information quickly without being confused by irrelevant distractions.

About Us

This page contains your company’s history and what make your business unique. This section can be broken down into sub pages that could have staff information, experience, affiliations, etc. A video montage made from your historical photos can help you tell your story.

Products and Services

You can have multiple pages or pages can be nested or any combination. Visitors should be able to find what they are looking for with minimal clicks. If you have a lot of products and services it best to categorize them and use sub pages. Your product and service pages should have plenty of information. The goal is to give the visitor enough useful information that will lead them to a buying decision. Photos that represent the product and service really help. Videos that showcase your products and services will always generate more conversions.

Blog

A blog section is a place that you put current information such as an upcoming event, a special you are offering, an educational article that you write, etc. A blog not only gives your customers a reason to return to your website, it is important to search engines. By having regularly updated content on your website search engines re-visit your site and give you a higher ranking. Here is just one money saving way you could use a blog. Instead of mailing a flyer out to your customers, send them an email with a link to the same information posted on your blog.

Contact Us

This would have your contact information and should have an email form so visitors can send you an email without revealing your email address.

SEO (Search Engine Optimization) is, as the name implies, the optimization of a website for the search engines. This involves making a website search engine “friendly”, using proper linking techniques to aid the search engines in determining your site’s relevance and optimizing offsite strategy for affecting natural placement.

Search engines use what are known as “spiders” which “crawl” the web collecting information about each website it visits. Making a website search engine friendly really means making it friendly for the spiders that crawl your site. This requires an in-depth understanding of how spiders work, allowing you to code your webpage in such a way that spiders don’t get confused about what your webpage is about.
