FAQs
-
No! Pre-recorded music tracks provide the most consistent and reliable quality for prescreen filming, and many schools specifically prefer them! We provide a professional quality sound setup to play all music tracks. If you don’t yet have music tracks for all of your song cuts, you can purchase custom music tracks here.
