What is Flashlight Films,
please explain your products to me?
We create short videos,
images, backgrounds and stock footage for churches, conferences, or small group
gatherings.
- Videos – short videos (1-5 min.) that can be used for
stand alone pieces or for teaching/sermon illustrations
- Images – our images consist of backgrounds and
stock photos. Backgrounds are
designed to be used as backgrounds for projected song lyrics, scriptures
or announcements – there are still images as well as motion loops. Stock photos are hi-resolution
images that can be purchased for print/advertising projects or events.
- Footage – these are stock or raw video footage. If you have the ability to custom
make your own video then you can purchase our footage and edit your own
custom video
- Packages – we’ve bundled together elements from all of
the above to provide a complete media solution for the Senior Pastor,
Worship Leader or Bible teacher.
How do I contact someone
at Flashlight Films? You can call, write or
E-mail us. Visit our contact us page.
Why can’t I view the
previews of the videos? In order to view our video
previews you must have the Flash Video Player. You can download it for free here.
What formats do your
products come in? All of our videos are available
as MPEG1 files. When you download,
you will get the MPEG1 file or .zip file of MPEG1. Still images are JPEG.
Teaching notes or studies are in PDF.
If you purchase an item that
is shipped to you – please check the item you’ve selected for its specific
format. They are not all MPEG1
formats.
What is the resolution of
your products? All MPEG1 files are
640x480. DVD’s are 720x486. DVD-ROM or quicktime.mov files are
720x486. JPEG background images
are 800x600. Stock Photo images
will vary but typically are 2560x1920 .JPEG.
Will your products play
in PowerPoint? Any product you download off
our site are great for PowerPoint. Also, PowerPoint does not allow you to
overlay text onto moving video, so although you can play our
videos/backgrounds, you cannot project song lyrics etc. over them. If you desire to do this you will need
to use ‘PowerPlugs:Video Backgrounds Player’. Or use another presentation software such as ‘MediaShout’ –
‘EasyWorship’ – ‘ProPresenter’.
If you purchase our Stock
Footage Packages or Worship Elements packages that we ship to you – these will
not play in PowerPoint. Stock
Footage is a DVD-ROM and Worship Elements is a DVD disc that will play only in
DVD players.
What computer specs do I
need to play your videos/backgrounds? It depends on the software
you are using. We recommend a
processor of 1.5 ghz or higher, 256mb RAM or higher, a high quality video card
that supports 2 monitors.
How fast can I get my
order shipped? We ship everything via FedEx
