Do you guarantee my media will not be lost or damaged in shipping?
No. Storymix Media cannot ensure shipping because we do not control how the media has been packaged nor do we control the actual shipping process. Use of a national shipping company with a tracking number is recommended - follow their instructions for packaging and you’ll have no problems. We ship all critical material with UPS.
How many minutes of video will fit onto one DVD?
For the highest quality, we record up to 2 hours of video onto one DVD disc.
I don’t know how long my reel to reel film is. How can I find out?
Do you guarantee my film or video will not be destroyed while being transferred to digital?
No. We cannot account for the quality of the film and video sent to us. We do use professional quality equipment specifically designed to transfer your film and video.
Can you fix my poor quality photos and video/film?
Fix, no. Repair and improve, yes. Custom Creation has options for Image Correction, Photo Repair or Video Enhancement. Storymix Media does take poor quality photos and video/film and incorporate them in a way that makes them enjoyable to view. Take a look at our samples which have many examples of old film and poor pictures used in a final movie with a great end result.
Why can’t I pick the music?
You should understand that playing copyrighted music in your movie is illegal. Even if you purchased a track legally, there are sync licensing and multiple royalty fees that can cost thousands of dollars for a single use. Without these you could be stopped from sharing it the way you want to - or worse. Storymix Media has partnered with recording artists and production music companies to acquire thousands of hours of fully-licensed soundtrack music and sound effects. So relax knowing that your movies can be shared publicly without any risk to you. And know that you’ll be getting top quality music - not royalty free or the stuff you hear at your dentist’s office.

I am confused by the process. Where do I start?
There is no right or wrong way to build your movie. You can go to the Products page for a list of all our products with links to the specific product pages.
Do you store my final movie digitally?
No. We suggest purchasing an additional DVD(s) or hard drive. We are considering adding an option for customers to have Storymix Media store their original digital movie file on our servers for a fee. Contact us if you would like this feature.
I have too much stuff to sort through. Can you do it for me?
Yes. Select Drop n Go. You can put as much media as you want into one of our 3 sized boxes and we'll create a great movie. All you do is answer a few simple questions.
Do you offer a money back guarantee?
No. We strive to satisfy each customer. Our process should result in a final movie that exceeds your expectations. If you are not happy with your DVD, please contact us and we will do everything we can to make you satisfied.
