Film is delicate, and something that should be scanned as few times as possible. While some may have low prices, the result may be of a lower-quality. Searching online, there are a few other providers which also do reel-to-reel film scanning. T he Film Conversion Process of Big Box Stores / Mail-In Services / and Budget Scanning:
8MM FILM TO DIGITAL CONVERTER MP4
We convert the edited video file into an MP4 so it is easily playable on computers, postable to social media, and watchable on smart TVs.If there are specks or “digital noise” on the film, we reduce those so you can have a clearer picture.If the film was taken at a faster or slower rate, we can adjust the speed so that it is true-to-life (such as with underwater filming).We correct the color on the video to make sure it is as true-to-life as possible.We stabilize the video, so it looks less shaky.We remove blank or static portions of the film and any blank beginnings and ends.
8MM FILM TO DIGITAL CONVERTER FULL
Film is a delicate medium, so we suggest planning to scan it only once, but retaining the full file for future use.
In a few years, there may be ways to improve the final edited quality. We realize that technology changes, so we want to make sure you have an unedited version. Once your film is scanned, we will provide you with a raw video file in case you want the ability to edit it again later.We also scan the entire cell, we do not crop out the tops, bottoms, or sides of the film. We scan your film at 1080p, so you can have an HD version of your video.We get your film as clean as can be, so you can be sure you have the highest possible quality video. There’s also an issue called “emulsion bleed” where some colors bleed out of the film and make images blurry. Older film can have dust, grime, or mold, which will reduce the quality of your converted film. This means that we have the ability to capture every single second of your film, nothing will be left out. We then research the age of your film to help you pinpoint when the film was taken. We assess the length of your film to see how many hours you have.Pixologie Digital Solutions Film Conversion Process: The clip on the left was processed the way that we normally do, the clip on the right was processed using common budget scanning methods.
