8mm Film Conversion FAQs
Look at the sample. 8mm film as the name implies it 8mm wide. It also has larger sprockets holes than Super 8 film. Don't worry about what kind you have. Odds are, we can convert your film.
You have two options. For our standard conversion to video files, we will create a file for each of your film reels. The reels can be named with an overall name and then a sequence number, like "Davis Family 001". If you number your reels in order, you will have more organized files when complete.
The second option is custom file names. For example, reel 1 might be named "1968 Niagara Falls" and reel 2 might be "1972 Joe's 5th Birthday". Just type up your titles, listing them by reel number, and email it to us. We'll rename all your film files with your custom text at no charge. We also offer gathering the information from the notes on reels and boxes for the file names. There is an additional charge for this service.
No. Since each reel will be a separate file, the order isn't critical. However, if you add a DVD or Blu-ray Disc, you may want to number the reels as they will appear in that order.
There are two options. You can choose Cloud Storage or USB thumb drive. For Cloud Storage, we will upload your files to a secure location and email you a link so you can share and download them. Cloud Storage is the recommended choice, but you can also get a USB drive with all your files. For more details and step-by-step instructions, check out Cloud Storage, USB Drives, and Downloading from Dropbox. We also offer DVD and Blu-ray Discs for those who want a disc format, but discs are becoming less common so we do not recommend them.
Yes, we give back all your film reels when your project is complete. We also offer the option to hold your media for 30 days. Many people who ship orders to us like this option to reduce return shipping costs. This allows them to review their conversions and then after 30 days, we will dispose/recycle the film.
After your 8mm film is digitized, we scrub through it. If we find a blank section or a section of film that is so overexposed you can't see anything, we edit it out. Your final video will be more enjoyable! If you would like editing of the other content, just let us know what you need and we can do that too (editing charges would apply).
Absolutely! Place your order and get packing tips for your film reels. When we receive it, we will give you an estimate and expected completion date. Need it done fast? Let us know your deadline and we'll do whatever we can to meet it.
