What exactly is Memories R4 Ever DVD’s doing when it is creating my video?

Memories R4 Ever DVD’s uses patent-pending technology to analyze your images and everything about the selected music — its structure, genre, energy, build, rhythm — before developing a blueprint for the motion design of your video. The remaining time is spent rendering your video, using a giant farm of computer processors to custom-generate 15 new images per second for your final video.

CREATING A VIDEO: images

How many images should I use?
24-40 images get displayed per minute of video (depending on the song’s tempo).

Memories R4 Ever DVD’s videos stop either when the music runs out or when there are no more images left to display… whichever comes first. So, depending on the length & tempo of the song chosen, make sure that there are enough images to see the song until its end, and conversely, that your song is long enough to show all the images that you’d like included in your video.

How do I downsize images for faster uploading?

Images straight off your digital camera can be 100 times what you actually need for an online video. Although you can upload very high resolution images, smaller downsized images work just as well and save you significant upload time. You can use simple image-resizing programs to downsize your images to a smaller size. If you have a Mac, we recommend using DroPic! (free). If you have a PC, we recommend using VSO Image Resizer (free). These are easy-to-use tools to help you resize your images to something appropriate for the web. We recommend a size of no less than 640×426 (about 50kb per image), and no more than 1024×768 (about 100kb per image).

If you plan to make videos for DVD or to download onto your computer, it’s best to upload images that are at least 1024×768–but still, no need for pics more than 1 or 2 megapixels.

Do images have to be in a particular format or size?
Images must be in jpeg or gif formats and no larger than 5MB in size.

What’s the difference between uploading and retrieving images?
Memories R4 Ever DVD’s gives you two ways to get your images. You can either UPLOAD them from your computer or have Memories R4 Ever DVD’s RETRIEVE them from an online photo management site. We currently support direct image retrieval from Flickr, Facebook, Smugmug, Picasa, and Photobucket.

(We will need your login infomation to retrieval.)

If you have the choice, we recommend retrieving your images from your online photo manager since they are already downsized for a faster upload. If the photos stored on your computer have a very high resolution (more than 1 MB in size), you may want to downsize them first to reduce upload time if you plan to make videos to share online. We recommend downsizing to no less than 640×426 (or about 50kb per image), and no more than 1024×768 (or about 100kb per image).If you plan to make videos for DVD or to download onto your computer, it’s best to upload images that are at least 1024×768–but still, no need for pics more than 1 or 2 megapixels.

How do I get music?
We can use our library of music or you can upload your music to us.

Does my music have to be in any particular format?
Memories R4 Ever DVD’s currently accepts any MP3 format. Unfortunately, if you’ve purchased any music from iTunes and it’s in .M4A format, you won’t be able to use it with Memories R4 Ever DVD’s.

Is there a time-limit on how long a song can be in a video?
Yes, currently we don’t allow songs that are longer than 10 minutes & bigger than 10 MB in size.
