Cine Film Digitising and Transfer:
We transfer Standard and Super 8mm cine film to digital format to view on your tv or computer and to share with friends and family. We provide the movie as MP4 and avi format on usb, DVD or on disc drives for larger projects.
*Have a look at BBC Wales Christmas Home Movies* (link checked ok 26-01-25)
MP4 and avi are our most used formats because of their compatibility with smart tvs, computers and for sharing over the internet.
We use modern equipment scanning the cine film directly, frame by frame, and therefore we can obtain optimal imaging. Our service includes editing the film to remove blank or damaged footage also we will add titles and music as you require. If you have music that you would like added please send the music CD with your order or we can order a cd on your behalf. (We recommend ‘The Shadows’ musical tracks for your personal silent home movies – For home use only.)
We do have a ‘Saturn Films 1969’ lead in and lead out which we will exclude on request. It is better to clean the film before scanning therefore giving cleaner results but we will only do this with your express permission, it does help to reduce the dust but runs a small risk of scratches being introduced.
An example of an uploaded converted super 8mm cine film is included below because pictures are worth a thousand words! The film features me with an old friend doing some gardening work back in the 70’s. The film is time lapse and made in both colour and black and white. For me it is a great memory, the little cat was a good helper!
Our current charges can be found on the price list page.
