SUBMISSION GUIDELINES FOR PHOTOS, MUSIC, and VIDEO

To make your DVD a high-quality production, it is important to follow several guidelines when submitting items to be included in your video.  These guidelines also help us "streamline" our submission process and lets our customers know about the equipment we have available. Please follow the guidelines below when submitting your materials.

PHOTOGRAPHS
SIZE - Photographs should be no smaller than wallet-sized and no larger than 10"x13" in size. Photographs that are between 4"x6" (regular snapshot prints) and 8"x10" work best for your production. We will also accept photos on disk or CD. If there are problems with photos submitted on disk or CD, such as file type, size, or quality, we will let you know before creating your production.

QUALITY - Both color prints and black & white photos work well for productions. If an large amount of photos have tears, rips, discoloration, or other irregularities, there may be an extra charge for production of these images.

COPYRIGHTED IMAGES - Usually, images from a professional photographer or studio will be copyrighted. In order to use them, you must receive written permission from the photographer or studio. Most photographers will gladly grant you this permission, as it is a different form of media in which you will be using their product. Also, most studios have a time frame in which the photographs have been copyrighted. If your professional photo is several years old, it may be out of the copyright jurisdiction, and be able to be copied without permission.

MUSIC
If you have a specific song or songs that you would like included in your DVD, we would be glad to include it for you. In order to include your song, submit the song to us on its original CD or tape. We cannot accept burned or copied CD's, as this may violate copyright regulations. If you are unable to include an original copy of a favorite song on CD or tape, let us know and we can purchase the music for you and add it to your production cost. Please note that for each copy of a video you are requesting using copyrighted music, you must also own one copy of the audio recording (or the individual who will own the video copy must own an original copy of the audio recording). Again, we can purchase this music for you for the copies you request and add it to your production cost.

Also, Querry Music Productions has a vast library of music that we can select music from to fit your production, if you so choose. If you do not make any special music requests, we will select music for you. Please note that due to turn-around time on funeral videos, music from our library will be selected.

VIDEO
Adding motion video is an option you may wish to include for your DVD. In order for us to be able to use your videotapes, they must be submitted in one of the following formats: VHS, VHS-C, Standard 8mm Cassette, Mini DV, or DVD. If you have video in other formats, we can assist you in finding a vendor to transfer your video into a format we can use. You may also submit computer CDs that have motion video you wish to use. On computer CDs, .avi video files are of the highest quality. Formats such as .wmv, .mpg, and .qtm can be used, but may be of slightly lesser quality in your finished product.

If you have any questions about items to submit for your project that we have not covered on this page, please feel free to contact us and we will assist you in any way that we can.
