One+True+Media

A One True Media Video is a short, finished production of photos, video clips, and other images set to music. It also has professional touches, including pre-set special effects, transitions, and editing features, that turn your standard photo slideshow into a moving video production. A One True Media Video can be all photos, all video clips, or any combination of these.
