Frequently Asked Questions
Do you have any tips for using a click or backing track for a virtual musical performance?
If you use a backing track, it is very helpful to us if you add a count-in before the music begins. Please have your performers either speak or clap at the same point in the count-in. This aids us in lining up all of your videos correctly. Please also make sure that the track cannot be heard in the video recording by playing it through headphones. Many performers prefer using earbuds, with one in-ear and the other in its case. We will layer in the backing track during the editing process.
Do you need certain video file types?
Not at all! We can work with any video file type. We only ask that you provide the highest quality video available to you. Filming at a minimum of 1080p (HD video) at 30 fps (frames per second) is recommended.
What if I need a video with more than 50 video streams?
We’ll make it happen! If you need help with editing a virtual performance with over 50 video streams, please contact us directly at troberts@tanyarobertscreative.com. Let us know what you need and we’ll let you know how much it will cost.
What if I need more than two rounds of revisions?
Two rounds of edits are included free of charge in your virtual performance video package. If you require more revisions, we can happily do so at the rate of $50/hour. Before we do the work, we’ll give you an estimate of how long we think it will take us.
Do I need to credit you when I share the video?
While we always love a shout out, you’re under no obligation to credit us when you share your new virtual performance. We only ask that you don’t go the other direction and mistakenly mislead others to think that someone else created your video. We do reserve the right to include your video in our portfolio as an example of our work.
What if I need help with a video that is over five minutes long?
We can help you out! If you’re anticipating a virtual performance that is longer than five minutes, please contact us at troberts@tanyarobertscreative.com. Let us know what you’ve got in mind, and we’ll let you know how much it will cost.
What guidelines should I give to someone filming a virtual performance?
Although we can work our magic with a wide range of videos, here are some guidelines that we’ve found produce the best virtual performances:
If filming on a phone, use the main camera lens, not the selfie lens
We can work with horizontal or vertical footage, but filming horizontally gives us the most editing flexibility
Ensure you are well-lit by facing a window or indoor light source and avoid having a light source directly behind you
Record in a clean and quiet area with minimal visual distractions and background noise
If possible, record at a minimum of 1080p (HD video) at 30 fps (frames per second)
If the performance is musical and involves singing or playing with a click/backing track, make sure that the track cannot be heard in the video by playing it through headphones
How will you get the video to me?
We’ll use the same file sharing platform that you used to share your files to deliver your new virtual performance video.
