Transfer Film to Digital | 8mm / 16mm / Super8 to Digital Conversion

FILM

Many years ago, when people wanted to capture special moments in their lives, the only option of the day was film. While modern technology now enables everyone’s smartphone to record high-quality video at the drop of a hat, there is still something truly special about seeing your loved ones enjoy their lives in a world that no longer exists. Also, the look and quality of film recordings and the eras that they captured is truly magical.

From the 1930s to 1970s, the most common reels of choice were 8mm, Super 8, and 16mm film.

At Transfer to Digital, we’re capable of transferring these old film formats with our $45,000 state-of-the-art film scanner. This German engineered machine has the latest in film scanning technology, capable of capturing your film in full 2k resolution (2048×1536 pixels), higher than what many other transfer services can provide.

The sprocketless design ensures that even the most delicate of film can be transferred without harming it. It’s also capable of capturing magnetic and optical audio recorded on some of these old film formats. The scanner’s proprietary software enables our technicians to find the best possible exposure and color balance to ensure the finest possible transfer of your precious memories.

Your film will be scanned frame-by-frame and converted to a high bit-rate MP4 video file, which is then copied to a USB stick, portable hard drive, or uploaded to the cloud – enabling you to share them with family and friends for years to come.

Additional film scanning options

Audio Capture +$0.10/foot – both magnetic and optical audio capture is available
Digital Clean +$0.08/foot – software reduction of film noise and dust and scratch reduction
Wet-Gate Scanning +$0.15/foot – for optical scratch and crack correction
Raw or corrected footage available on request
Alternate final delivery formats available, including ProRes and DPX image sequences
DVD creation +$19.95 – with menus and chapters for each film reel

WHEN DO I GET THEM BACK?

Film transfers are some of the more involved transfers that we do, but because we do all our transfers in-house, we can still offer a relatively quick turn-around of 2 to 3 weeks, depending on the volume of your film transfer order.

Rush film transfers are available, but please contact us for more information if you need your transfer done as quickly as possible.
