Q:How long does the process take from start to finish?

Q: How will I get my finished video?
A: Your video will be delivered to you via an embed code (see FAQ about embed codes). You can use this code to put your video on your web site, blog or other online profiles. We will also provide a downloadable video file that is configured to play on popular mobile devices such as the iPod, iPhone, etc. You can also use this file for in store display on computer monitors.

Q: What is embed code?
A: Embed code is code that can be used to insert your video on your web site or blog. The nice part about embed code is that you don’t have to worry about moving the video file around to each different location you want to share it on the web.

Q: How do I add my video to my web site?
A: We will send you the embed code so you can put the video on your web site. Simply copy the embed code and insert it in to your web site code. Check with your webmaster for details.

Q: What if it doesn’t work on my web site?
a: Double check that you copied ALL of the embed code starting with the and ending with the tags. The number-one cause of videos not playing is missing parts of the code. If you’re adding it to a blog or web site through a Web-based administrative panel that you insert it in code view and not through the visual editor. Look for an “HTML” or “Code” tab to see the code view, then insert the embed code. For more help check with your web master or the documentation of your web site or blog provider.

Q: Where will the video appear?
A: We will provide you with a video player and video streaming for one year (via an embed code and instructions) which allows you to add the video the Web site(s) of your choice. You also receive one year of streaming and distribution to top video sites such as YouTube, Yahoo! Video, Google Local, Google Maps, MySpace and Daily Motion.

Q: How long does it take before my videos are distributed to these other sites?
A: Because we don’t control the other sites in our distribution network we can’t guarantee you an exact date that your videos will be live; but generally-speaking your video will be up within two weeks of receiving your final approval.
