Will your company send my reel out to perspective clients?

Yes, upon request your reel can be sent directly from our offices in different formats: CD, DVD, æ” tape, Beta, etc…A full screen download format is also available.

Will the quality of the video spots vary according to connection speed or amount of users visiting the website at the same time?

No.  Unlike other streaming media technologies such as Windows Media or Real Media, QuickTime will not drop frames if the connection is slow due to connection type or increased traffic.

As importantly, during our encoding process we do not “drop frames”:  Allowing viewers to “pause” and watch “frame by frame” as it was originally shot.

What if another member has already submitted a spot that I do not wish to present in my reel?

You can customize your reel by selecting which spots/videos to display and create separate reels: General reel, Car reel, Table Top etc…
