Archival Quality, Instant Color Correction!
Superior in quality to 3/4 video and a much more durable tape format than mini-dv, BetaCam SP Editing allows Slingshot Productions to instantly edit your existing analog video master. It is not necessary to reinput all of your tapes into a computer for a simple video re-edit. In some instances Slingshot Productions may charge less to finish an editing job by using BetaCam SP than what other facilities might charge simply to load your footage into their computer!
Because Slingshot Productions uses BetaCam SP videotapemasters these videotapes can be stored, and have been stored, for 15 years or longer and then re-edited at a moments notice! Client masters archived on BetaCam SP from the past 15 years are now being transferred to DVD and the results are proving to be astounding! (can you imagine archiving a harddrive for 10 years and expecting it to play and also be recognized by todays computers) Internal Time-Base Correctors and component color correction equipment allow the editor to make instant improvements and adjustments to the video image with no rendering time. A waveform and vectorscope are incorporated for instant verification that the video signal is broadcast legal and in spec. Just recently an Awards Show B-roll footage was enhanced before it was remastered to DVD. Stars such as Alicia Silverstone, Nicolette Sheridan, and even the mayor of Los Angeles, Mayor Antonio Villagairosa positively glowed after the video image was optimized. In many instances video quality can be improved from an existing master no matter what format the original was videotaped on. The combination of a skilled editor with the right real time color correction tools can create pleasing looking images in the most cost effective manner.

DVD Creation
Slingshot Productions can create DVD's from any existing tape master that you own or have the rights to. DVD chapter and thumbnail strategies are a key component in the creation of your DVD. Slingshot Productions prides itself on selecting each chapter skip when making your DVD. The Menu Thumbnail is selected only after considering many options.
Copyrighted material that is owned by others cannot be duplicated in their entirety. However situations can arise where a small portion can be used for a demo reel (such as if you were a performer in the piece or had a key role in it's creation), but the DVD should not be for resale, barter or broadcast.
