Video Editing for Personal & Business by Home Video Studio
HVS: Video Editing for Personal and Business

We'll find what you do want
This is the beginning of the fun - finding the creamy caramel center of your project.
We'll craft a story
This is the most crucial part of your editing and the reason you're doing it. Are you concentrating on chronology, subject, location, etc?
We'll add some "cool" stuff
This is the icing on the cake. Music, effects, titles, etc. are fun and put the finishing touch on.

Do you have several family videos that you want to put together into a single project? Are you a business owner with old video and/or photos that, with a little polish, would make a good promotional piece? If you have the visuals we can make them into something special. These days editing is easy, affordable, and available to everyone.
You might ask, “What is editing?” Video editing is simply arranging and enhancing your video clips to tell a story. What if you have separate videos of your three kids all leaving for their first day of kindergarten? What if you put them all together in one piece showing the inevitable and bittersweet passage of time? That's editing! What if you added voiceover of yourself reading a poem in the background? Now you're a regular Spielberg! You can see how this could get addictive.
Editing allows you to tell a story. People are drawn to stories. When you edit you are creating something more interesting than just random video clips.
Editing sustains interest. It will make your videos concise and have a point. For example, "Our Family at the Lake" - showing quick shots of your family on the beach complete with beach music is much more enjoyable than hours of raw video footage.
Editing is fun and creative. It's a way for you to put your spin and creative touch on something or someone you love.
You've probably watched enough television and movies to know what editing techniques are effective. Here are a few:
- Transitions - Have you ever noticed a scene fade in? Or a video that slowly goes to black at the end? Those are simple transitions.
- Color correction - Was your wedding shot in a dark church? Is your wedding dress more blue than white? Color correction is an easy way to address many issues like this.
- Titles - Does your daughter have a sports video that needs vital information like her position, number, weight, GPA, etc. on it? Does your son want composers' names on his musical recital video? Putting titles in your videos is no sweat.
- Music - Nothing is more effective and powerful than appropriate music on your videos.
- Voiceover - Have you ever seen a 50th wedding anniversary photo keepsake with the husband reading a poem he wrote while they were courting? We have. Not a dry eye in the house.
- Effects - Special effects like slow motion, fast motion, or blur are relatively simple these days.

HVS’s Top Five Movies Where Nature is the Star – or At Least the Co-Star
Some movies are all about the acting, some are all about the story. And some combine them with beautiful on-location scenery. In honor of spring we visit HVS’s Top Five Movies Where Nature is the Star – or At Least the Co-Star.
The Sound of Music – Who can forget Maria dancing in a green meadow surrounded by the Bavarian Alps? Stunning.
Lord of the Rings – – Filmed in the natural beauty of New Zealand, many of the scenes did not use any digital enhancements and are as beautiful in person as they are in the movie.
Braveheart – This movie wouldn’t have been the same without the freedom inspiring sweeping, mountainous landscapes of the Scottish Highlands.
Life of Pi – Nature in all her glory (and fury) from the weather, to the ocean, to the pets.
Blue Lagoon – OK, the acting wasn’t that great, but the tropical paradise makes us all wonder what it would be like to start a new civilization there.
Photo Video Keepsakes for the Red-Letter Days Ahead
Don’t you love this time of year? Mother Nature is motivated. Bees are busy. Creation is creative. It’s time for you to get motivated, creative and busy too! There are plenty of red-letter days around the corner where your loved ones will be celebrated, and the perfect centerpiece to these events is a Photo Video Keepsake:- Mother's day – Nothing will move Mom and everyone who loves her like a powerful celebration of her life in photos and music. Is this the year to honor her with a gift that will last for generations?
- Graduation – A lot has happened between your child’s day of arrival and day of commencement, and there’s no better way to say “I’m proud of you!” Photos, videos, certificates, first grade, first communion, first date....all in a unique and creative presentation.
- Anniversaries – Been married one year or sixty? How moving would a tribute to your beloved be as your time together is captured through images, video and music?
How does a Photo Video Keepsake work?
We use your photos, videos, and/or slides of the honoree along with your choice of appropriate music. Keepsakes can run from fifty photos or even fewer to as many as three hundred or more. We usually add beginning and ending titles to the production, as well as some simple transitions between the photos. Then we put it all on a DVD or a video file for easy viewing.
Will they like it?
Only if they enjoy being honored in the most heartfelt way imaginable. Photo Video Keepsakes are:- Personal - Keepsakes are the perfect way to put anyone in the spotlight. What is more personal than great, meaningful photos complemented by inspiring music? Each Keepsake is a unique story - a custom testimony to your loved one.
- Powerful - What better way to portray a message of "I love you" or "I'm proud of you" or "I'd do it all over again" or "I'm glad you exist in the world" than with the power of image and sound?
- Portable - PhotoVideo Keepsakes are viewable anywhere you can watch a DVD or video. Homes, offices, auditoriums, fellowship halls. Another reason why they are the perfect way to honor anyone, anytime and anywhere.
- Practical - Keepsakes make great gifts, not just for the subject, but for all your loved ones. Easily duplicated. Easily labeled.
"This sounds great! What do I do next?"
- Call us and let's make an appointment - Why not today?
- Start selecting your photos - We always say this step is way too much fun, so don't spend too much time on each photo. Zero in on the photos that tell your story.
- Sort your photos - you may want to present them chronologically, by subject...you decide.
- Number your photos - Don't use a pen! Post-it's work well.
- Come by and let's get started!
And don’t forget all our other services that may come in handy this time of year as well, including tape transfers, home movie transfers, slide transfer, and editing. Attractive Gift Certificates are available as well!

Video-to-Cloud – Digital Video Archive - DVA The New Way to Watch, Organize, Edit, View, Share and Preserve Your Memories!
Video-to-Cloud – Digital Video Archive - DVA The New Way to Watch, Organize, Edit, View, Share and Preserve Your Memories!
Home Video Studio is the leader in the preservation of memories, and we’re on the leading edge of this new technology. DVA brings families and friends around the table again. Getting in touch with the past, sharing the present, and making new memories for the future has never been easier or more fun! Call us today.
In the beginning was 8mm and 16mm film.
Then came VHS, Beta, 8mm, Mini DV,
and other
video tape formats. DVDs were next, and we really liked them because they were slim and cool and gave us more control with features like menus and submenus and chapters.
DVDs have been the state-of-the-art for more than ten years in the video and home movie transfer industry. In fact, Home Video Studio still transfers video to DVDs for our customers who request that service.
But there’s a new kid in town – The DVA – the Digital Video Archive – Video in the Cloud. DVA is the latest technology and it is fast becoming the media of choice. These days we most often transfer everyone’s old VHS, BetaMAX, 8mm and Mini DV tapes to DVAs rather than DVDs. Here’s why:
- DVA is cloud-based. Your memories are safely archived - never again vulnerable to the elements, breakage, or being lost.
- Each of your old videos (your old memories) are transferred to new DVAs and uploaded to Digital Video Archive. You can then view, organize and edit your old memories.
- View your family videos on any computer, iPad, Tablet, Smartphone or Smart TV.
- Invite your friends and family to view! Our sharing capability is private and by invitation only – very family friendly.
- Add, change and re-title chapter markers online. Organize your new DVAs into albums (we call them Archives).
- You can also easily edit your videos.
- We’ll also make a Master Digital Video Archive and store it off-line for safekeeping.
- Memories, videos and DVA… they are one and the same! Never worry about the legacy of your family again.
“Hey You…Get on to Our Cloud”™
That’s right! Get on to our cloud. It’s easy! Just bring in your old DVDs, videotapes, 8mm, and 16mm home movies. We’ll take it from there: 
- First our DVA experts will convert your content to Digital Video Archives. We’ll actually make two DVAs – a web quality DVA that looks great on your computer, your smartphone, your tablet, and your smart TV. At the same time we’ll make a Master Quality DVA for long term storage.
- Then we’ll upload them to our cloud: DigitalVideoArchive.com and you will receive a private and secure DVA account.*
- With your account, you can view, organize, edit, and share your new movies with your friends and family.
- With that same account, you can immediately begin uploading your own personal videos from your computer or smartphone. You’ll be able share these videos with your friends and family as well. Plus your friends and family will want to start their own Digital Video Archive accounts and load up their videos! Soon you’ll have new DVAs from them to watch!
- As mentioned earlier, we’ll also archive a higher quality version of your DVA for safekeeping. You’ll never have to worry about the safety of your family memories again!
Digital Video Archive Technology is here!
