Frequently Asked Questions

Film Reel

I have a box of film but it is very old. How do I know if it is even good any more?

We regularly transfer film as old as the early and mid 1900's. Chances are your film will transfer just fine. The best thing for you to do is bring your film into our studio and let us evaluate it. Upon visual inspection we can usually determine if the film will transfer or not. Most customers are amazed at the results we can get from very old film.

What formats of film can you convert?

We can convert 8mm, Super8mm, Super8mm with sound, 16mm, and 16mm with sound.

Our film doesn't have sound. Can you add background music?

Yes. We have a musical soundtrack for our film transfers that we include at no additional cost. If you prefer, we can include any music of your choosing. Just provide us with the CDs, mp3s, or audio cassettes and let us know the order in which you would like the songs played. There is an additional charge for this service.
