FAQ

We have provided the following FAQs to help give you an idea about how our system works. Please contact us if you would like to talk things through in more detail

Writing the script and recording the text for your video

You first have to write a draft script for you video. We will then take a look at it and make any suggestions as to improvements if necessary. Once you are happy with your script, we send it to the studio and the actor so that they can get themselves ready for the shoot. Once the recording has been done, it is sent to the processing team for editing and encoding. You can usually expect your video to be online within 7 days of the recording.

Will I need to re-design my site, will visitors need a special browser and are there any security issues?

You will not have to redesign your site at all. Indeed, the implementation of this technology could hardly be easier. All you have to do is insert a small piece of code into the body section of the page on which you want it to run. Done. Even if you cannot do it yourself, this is a five-minute job for any webmaster. The simple instructions are also sent out with the code. Our technology poses absolutely no security risk and will run smoothly on about 98% of all computers with broadband connections.

What message should the video actor deliver and how long should the video be?

30 second videos seem to work best. It's amazing what a difference just a simple greeting or teaser can make on important areas of your site. Of course, the message that the video actor delivers will differ greatly from site to site. One of the best uses of this technology is for demonstration purposes. Using a video to demonstrate a folding bike, for example, is hard to beat.

 


Should my video speaker express herself using her hands?

Because you want to connect personally with your visitors, the script should be conversational. This means that it comes across far better when hand expressions are used. The more natural the scripting and movements, the more effective the web videos will be.

 

Can the video actors be re-sized, positioned where I want them and include more than one person?

Yes, yes, and yes! All you need to do is tell us the size you are looking for (360 pixels is the most popular). You will be given an control panel, which you can use to tell the code where your video person should be positioned. You can also have videos made with more than one person . You can also use the control panel to start another video when the first one finishes.



Will this technology work on every computer?

Almost. It will  play on 98% of all computers with a broadband connection.
