"Extremely happy with the seller and his services! I had a bunch of wedding footage with wind noise since it was outdoors. Additionally, a bunch of comments made by friends and family during the reception period had background conversations going on. Not only was Adam able to get it within a few hours, it was exactly what I was looking for. It cleaned up the entire wedding video. I know my family is going to be thrilled to see the final product made possible by Adam's skills and professionalism. Thanks again Adam!"
― Gerry Diaz
