How long should a video be?2019-04-09T12:28:21+00:00

It must be long enough to tell your story.
If it only takes 30 seconds to tell your story, your video should not be half an instant longer. Should you need 3 minutes that’s fine too. All that matters is what you’re saying. Should you need a particular amount of time to tell the story, take that amount of time. The duration of a video is like a fitted dress, go with the exact minimum needed.
Would you like to know beforehand how long your video will be? A text of approximately 120-150 words should be equivalent to one minute of video. You can also read the text aloud to get an estimate of the length of the video.

Do we have to meet in person to make the video?2018-12-27T10:58:18+00:00

What is a subscription?2020-03-31T08:45:17+00:00

With a subscription, you pay a discounted price for recurring and periodic videos.
By purchasing a subscription plan, you start an automatic renewal cycle at the end of each monthly, semi-annual or annual subscription period. You may cancel this renewal at any time: once you do, you will no longer be charged at the end of the current subscription period.

You are required when purchasing a subscription to enter a valid credit card or PayPal account. This payment method will be reused at the end of each subscription period, and then your card or account will be charged automatically unless you have canceled the automatic renewal. You will be notified by email if your payment method is no longer valid (e.g. when your credit card or PayPal account has expired), and you will be prompted to enter another payment method. Your subscription will be automatically canceled if your payment method is not promptly replaced by a valid one.

Please note that the cancellation of the automatic renewal of a subscription prevents subsequent payments for the subscription cycle. There are no refunds for subscription renewals that are canceled after the renewal date.
