Our unit takes a still image of EVERY FRAME OF EVERY REEL of film you bring in.

This film transfer method allows us to:

  • adjust color balance 0n every frame;

All Super 8mm movies with sound require real-time transfer using a professional transvideo unit. Our transvideo unit is a lens assembly that sits about an eighth of an inch from the film. The film image goes through the lens assembly into a digital camera and from there into our digital editing system. And we don’t “set it and forget it” either. We watch every foot of your home movies and we run them through a processing amplifier, doing our best to restore the color and clarity of your original film.

Both our telecine and transvideo transfers of your Regular 8mm and Super 8mm film are digital. This means we process your footage at the highest quality and can then output your video of family memories to DVD or to your hard drive. In fact, every DVD includes individual chapter stops for every reel. That means you can jump right to the reel you want with one click!

All 8mm film and Super 8mm film transfer is done right here on premise by our trained staff. If you have 16mm film, we can help you with that as well, please call for details.

To help you estimate the amount of film you have, we offer the following guide:

  • 3″ diameter reels generally hold 50 feet of film.
  • 5″ diameter reels generally hold 200 feet of film.
  • 7″ diameter reels generally hold 400 feet of film.

If you have reels of film, but don’t know in what order you want them, or if you want to create a highlights video, please see our You’re The Director page. Since we digitize your film, anything is possible!
