How do I know how long my slideshow will be and how many songs I can use?

These times are approximate, it depends on how many title pages, captions, etc. you have in your slideshow, but on average it is 12 to 15 minutes per 100 photographs, which is 4 to 5 songs.

 

What size photographs can I use?

Up to an 8x10.

 

What is photo retouching?

We will digitally retouch minor flaws on the scanned photo (not the original), for red eyes, cropping, color enhancing, lighting, etc., to ensure the best possible slideshow experience.

 

What about captions and title pages?

Captions and title pages are a way to let your audience understand your pictures (see "Funny Pages" sample).  Although captions are fun to use, limiting them to select slides will make sure the focus is mainly on the pictures.

 

How do I see my slideshow before the final copy is made so I can make changes if needed?

Memories 2 Music wants to ensure you are 100% satisfied with your slideshow and it is exactly how you want it.  After we have made a preliminary slideshow, we will upload it to our website so that you can view it and provide us with any feedback or changes you would like to make before your order is finalized and burned to a DVD.  We will supply you with a link that will enable only you to view your slideshow (you may also share this link with family and friends if you like, but only those with the link are able to view it).  This service is only available to customers with high-speed broadband internet connections (cable or DSL).  At this time, we cannot offer this service to customers with dial-up connections.  If you have dial-up connections, we will burn a DVD, mail it to you so you can view it and call us with any changes. 

 

What about music and copyrights?

The music you select is very important to set the mood of your slideshow.  Using a combination of sentimental and upbeat songs, you can bring to life the wide variety of emotions in your pictures.  We have provided a section of song suggestions to help give you some ideas.  All of our music is obtained and used legally.  Our DVD slideshows are not intended for public presentation; they are intended for private use only.  You can send us a legally purchased CD with the music you would like, or we can purchase the song for you through a legitimate online provider.

 

Under the Fair Use Provision of the music copyright laws, it is legal for us to use your purchased music, or music that we purchase.  As long as the music has been legally purchased, royalty fees are not applicable.  Memories 2 Music does not use illegal music download sites, we purchase music from legitimate online internet sites.  If you send us your own music, it must be on a legally purchased CD, not your own compilation.

 

If you have any questions that are not addressed here, please do not hesitate to contact us.
