You can use digital video to deliver podcasts over the Internet, to advertise a product or service, as a presentation tool, to express a creative vision, or to capture and share memorable experiences.

Harness the power of digital video with a consultant.
A consultant can help you plan, create and share professional-quality digital video that communicates effectively to your audience, with start-to-finish services such as:

• Making the best choices for your business
  A consultant will help you determine the best way to achieve your digital video goals. Identifying the business intent, timeframe, and delivery method of your video will inform technical decisions like: what editing software to use, whether additional storage space is required, how large your video file can be, and what kind of compression and medium you should use to deliver the final product. Based on your budget and skill level, a consultant will help you make the right choices.
• Choosing hardware and software
  Creating digital video requires a DV camera and a sufficient amount of storage and processing power for editing and compressing your footage. A consultant will help you choose the right camera for your needs, and will ensure your system meets the requirements—upgrading or choosing new hardware, if needed. A consultant can also help you select and install software for editing, sound and visual effects, file compression, DVD burning, and sharing digital video over the Internet.
• Creating, editing, and delivering
  All digital video projects begin with footage. You may be taking new footage with a DV camera, using existing digital video clips, or converting older film into digital format. Once you have raw footage, you can begin to edit the video, add soundtrack or voiceover, incorporate special effects and scene transitions, and deliver your final product. Whether you’re working on a single video or running a small broadcast operation, Apple Consultants Network members can help address your specific needs.
