For mixed-media productions, number each media separately (e.g. photos 1-10, slides 1-25, digital photos 1-15) and once they are scanned we'll work with you to put them in order for your production.
4. Select a title for your DVD and DVD Slideshow. "Happy 50th Anniversary", "John & Nicki's Wedding" are a couple of examples.
5. If you'd like a menu or music, select songs and choose chapter titles. Our basic menu price includes up to 6 chapters with short titles (e.g. Hawaii 1969, Christmas 1975, etc.).
6. Decide on other options to enhance your photos and slideshow.
7. Select a picture for the cover and disc.
