You get more than just a copy of your previous recording.
Your video is segmented into scenes and trimmed of any bad frames.
Each scene becomes an individual video file.
boardwalk.mp4
houseboat.mp4
Video file names follow a single format so they are easy to organise and easy to find.

As videos are completed, they are uploaded to password-protected “Customer Pages”.
Videos can be watched online during the work period.
You don't wait for the entire job to be finished before you can watch videos, and you can visit the Pages any time to see how the job is progressing.
See Samples Of The Customer Pages
The Customer Pages are usually taken down about three months after the job is done. Before that happens, I check with you to make sure that you and other family members have finished downloading the files.
When the job is finished to your satisfaction, this set of Customer Pages is transferred to portable storage media.
Your videos can be watched the same way they're viewed online.  Also, you can make copies of those video files and rearrange those copies in groupings of your choice.
   
Customers provide their portable storage devices, e.g., external hard drive, thumb drive, depending on the size of the project.
The purpose of the Donation system is to make sure the job is affordable.
Whatever you are able to donate is gratefully accepted.
