About Austin Video Solutions
From Freelance Video Editor to Austin Video Solutions
My journey began in 2009 as a freelance video editor, working with clients around the world. Over time, local law enforcement and law firms reached out for video enhancement services, many involving analog tapes. My expertise and professional equipment allowed me to digitize and enhance footage, quickly making me the go-to resource for these projects.
Soon, those same law firms started bringing me personal projects—digitizing their family’s videotapes. But everything changed when a friend’s mother told me she couldn’t afford digitization services elsewhere. The dismissive attitude she received hit me hard, and I knew Austin needed a more accessible, affordable solution.
Fast forward to 2024, and after serving thousands of clients, Austin Video Solutions continues to provide Austinites with a better solution and superior results. We offer faster turnarounds and customized services, tailored to meet the unique needs of every project.
At Austin Video Solutions, we prioritize quality over quantity. As a small, home-based studio, we deliberately limit the number of projects we accept daily to ensure personalized attention and meticulous care for each project. Don’t miss out on this opportunity! Book your appointment up to 30 days in advance through our online scheduler to secure your spot today. With the holidays approaching, appointments are filling up quickly!

“I have been using Austin Video Solutions to put together videos of all my family vacations for the past few years. They have always come out perfectly.

Trust Your Legacy to Local Hands—No Guesswork, No Stress.
We understand the frustration of hiring a professional service only to wonder, “ Did they really do the best job possible?” What if that one scene you hoped for at the end of the tape is missing? Or worse, despite paying a premium, the quality just isn’t there.
Then there’s the added stress of handing over your irreplaceable videotapes to someone you’ve never met—just to have them shipped halfway across the country. Statistically, you know they’ll probably be fine, packed safely and returned in one piece. But still…these tapes are priceless.
