Q:  Will advertising appear on the downloadable video? In other words, will there be an Opening Moments 'bug' or a green pop-up on the downloaded file?

A: No. The downloadable edition will not contain any advertising or the Opening Moments 'bug'. We place the 'bug' and green pop-up screen on our previews to keep the honest people honest. And hopefully everyone else as well.

Q: How much customization is possible and how does this work?

A: All our motivational videos may be customized to reflect your company culture and logo. Customization can include changing the text, adding in  product or service images, company logo, headlines, or event theme graphics (we can design these for you). The material for customization may be uploaded to Opening Moments digitally through our FTP. We can also work with original print materials.

For each motivational video, we will provide a Customization Guide spreadsheet with two columns: one that lists all the original images and a second column to write in any substitute images or text.

We will make the edit based on the Customization Guide, provide you a low-res approval copy to download, and then provide you with a completed presentation on DVD or high res digital media (i.e. .wmv or .mov).

Q: What is the fee for customization?

A: Customization rates are $150/hour on motivational videos. The amount of time required depends on the individual presentation, specifically how many changes are being made. For example, if you want to change 7 of the text elements, we'll edit these changes, render, then upload an approval copy, and then convert to DVD or a high res digital files. This generally requires two to four hours. You might also want us to add motion graphics to the event theme graphic, company logo or product images. This may require another two to four hours, depending on the complexity.

Q: How quickly can Opening Moments turn around a customized Motivational Video once we license it?

A: We recommend a minimum of 3 business days for the entire process from start to finish. If you're in a hurry, tell us!  We have provided downloadable videos with as little as 24 hours notice!

Q: Who supplies the customized imagery?

A: You may want to provide us the imagery, either still or video. Opening Moments can provide library imagery, both video and still, on a per project, purchase basis.

Q: Can customized Motivational Videos be used more than once?

A: If your organization requires multiple use of a customized motivational video (i.e. multiple regional conferences) we offer 3 types of licenses:

1. One time use
2. Multiple use within a year
3. A buyout on most motivational videos

These presentations may NOT be used in an archive or program record without written permission from Opening Moments Media.

Q: With a downloadable video, can the content be used multiple times for various meetings?

A: Yes. If your organization purchases the downloadable videos, the videos may be used multiple times for internal use only. The content may not be sold, copied or uploaded to social media (i.e. YouTube, Facebook or Pinterest) or distributed on peer-to-peer sites.

Q: Will the downloadable and customized motivational videos arrive as high res files (Standard Def and HD), so that they can be projected on large screens, comparable to 14' X 20' for a large audience?

A: Yes, all licensed Opening Moments motivational videos and movie clips are professional high resolution for display on large screens.  Opening Moments has chosen to use YouTube and Vimeo low res codec for previews only. 

Q: Can our organization show YouTube videos from an Internet connection at a corporate meeting? Why should our organization pay licensing rights for a motivational video?

Q: What if I find a commercial or video that seems absolutely perfect for my meeting or event?  How can I license it for my corporate event?

A: Opening Moments Media, LLC is often able to obtain permission from the copyright owner to use a full resolution version for corporate events. We also offer the service to 'Find a Movie Clip' within our network of 500+ Production Companies. This saves your team time, and provides up to three options to choose from. We negotiate for the best value on the license rate, and pass that on to you. 

Q: Can I download a video from YouTube for my corporate event?

A: Content on YouTube and other peer-to-peer networks is protected by copyright law. Simply "ripping" or downloading the content to display at your meeting may be an infringement of the copyright owner's exclusive rights of reproduction and/or distribution (for more information, see the Fair Use section of the U.S. Copyright Office website).

All content (video, music and talent) from Opening Moments Media, LLC^TM is licensed with copyright clearances. This eliminates the risk of infringement liability for your organization and can limit your exposure to other potential download risks, e.g., viruses, spyware or unexpected material.

Q: Can I use a movie clip from a major motion picture at my corporate event?

A: Yes, provided that it is licensed. Opening Moments will provide this license for you by negotiating on your behalf with the major motion picture studios (i.e. Sony Pictures, Paramount, MGM, Warner Bros, Disney, Universal and Fox) for permission to use a movie clip at an organization meeting. In addition, we'll clear rights with all the actors, musicians, and the Guilds: SAG, AFTRA, Writers and Directors Guilds. Our priority is helping you do the right thing, to avoid legal hassles! Contact Us about licensing movie clips.

Q: We operate our own edit suite.  Can our organization license a clean copy (i.e. no text) of a motivational video and customize it ourselves? 

A: Opening Moments Media, as you might expect, maintains control over the EDL (Edit Decision List - where all the original images are digitally stored). As a general rule, Opening Moments customizes the motivational video on your behalf, providing a downloadable, customized .mov, .wmv or DVD.  On a case by case basis, we do provide the entire EDL to a professional editing suite so that you and your Producer can edit the video and audio assetts.

Q: Can we substitute a different soundtrack?

A: Most often we don't recommend changing the music. Most of the custom soundtracks have been created and timed with the imagery and have a 'synchronization license' with the musician and recording house. Changing the soundtrack on these programs would change a "pre-produced" program into a custom presentation.

Q: Do these programs originate on HD?

A: Some of our content is shot in HD in 16X9 format. Some of our Motivational Videos are SD (Standard Def) in 4x3 format. If our demo is displayed in the wide format (16X9), it was originated in HD.

Q: What are the available formats?

A: We offer the Motivational Videos on DVD, .mov or .wmv, and Inspirational Movie Clips on DVD. We can also provide international formats like PAL. 

Q: What's the first step in licensing the motivational videos?

A: Call us at 877-640-1444, or use the contact form and we'll answer all your questions!
