• Compile all of the loose pictures that you want to include (photographs of any size up to 8" x 10"; 35mm slides, stereo  transparencies, newspaper clippings; event programs; certificates; diplomas; etc.).  Portraits larger than 8" x 10" can be shot with a digital camera for an extra charge.  Arrange photos in order according to the story you want to present.  Use numbers ONLY!  No a's, b's, and c's, please. 
• Number your pictures (writing lightly in number order "1,2,3,...", use photo-safe pen or small round stickers (no Post-It-Notes) on the back of the pictures; do not use crayon or a pen that would smudge or stain your photos as they are stacked together).  Cover-up any stickiness from tape, Post-It-Notes, or glue on the back of your pictures.  Do not use letters like a, b, c, etc. Use numbers only 1-200, 300, etc.  Our software auto numbers the pictures, so it treats your number 122a as 123 thus throwing off your carefully selected picture group for the music chosen.  We charge at editing rates to fix this.
• Video clips can also be incorporated into your photo montage.
• Decide on number, content, and placement of titles.  Email your titles to sales@startecproductions.com with instructions on placement to insure accuracy.
