CLOCK – ON –VIDEO®
•    Editing your film at home using our proprietary
CLOCK – ON – VIDEO® is a way you can get involved with how your movies will turn out and lower your cost dramatically.
A DVD running with a clock on it is made from your video. You play the DVD on your TV or home computer and write the editing instructions on a worksheet that we provide to you. You instruct PME to delete specified frames, insert photos or slides, print photos, add titles, menus, chapters, animation, special effects and audio. It may sound a bit daunting but rest assured the process is very simple and we will guide you through the whole process.
This is also a great way to get family members involved. It’s a lot of fun going over the memories…Make a party out of it!
