Editing Services

We have several digital edit systems: one is set up for use with programs that are primarily shot in analog video formats such as Betacam-SP while the others are designed for digital tape sources such as DV-CAM or mini DV. Our primary editor, Rick Boardman, has been editing audio, film and video since 1971, so he's developed a feel for what works and what doesn't.

Both systems allow numerous elements to be mixed in, such as still photos, photos with screen motion, animated graphic sequences, musical score, sound effects and narration. We offer professional voice-overs for programs we produce or for productions made elsewhere. We have a number of fine voices to choose from, but we can also use someone suggested by you. Our editors combine all these elements to make a compact and engaging presentation. We always prepare an initial rough cut edit which we discuss with the client to ensure we are on the right track. Then we polish it up for mastering on any video format or to DVD. Copies can be struck from this master in any format (VHS, DVD, CD-ROM, DV, Quicktime Movie, etc.)

Also in our editing suites we can take other media such as PowerPoint presentations and convert them for use as an interactive CD-ROM or convert them to video. In addition to editing the programs we write and produce, we offer editing-only services to video producers, other institutions and consumers alike.
