Editable .MOV Digital Files

Instead of an encoded DVD, you may wish to order an an editable computer file for home editing. We can supply you with an editable .MOV file for editing on PCs and MACs. An MOV file is approximately 1gb per minute. So if the running time of your cine film is 30 minutes we will need to put it on a 32gb USB stick. Customers can provide their own external hard drive or large capacity USB stick for this purpose or we can supply them in store at cost.

Image sequence files are also available for advanced users at 50% extra

Extra DVDs - £6

Although DVDs last a lifetime without deterioration in quality one scratch or scuff mark will render it unplayable. For this reason we strongly advise you to order an extra DVD back up copy of your cine transfer work - the cost is only £6 per 2 hour DVD.

Cine Film with Sound

Most amateur cine film comes without sound. However, if you see a magnetic brown stripe running down the edge of the film there maybe sound on the film. This really only applies to reels sizes 200ft and above. There is no extra charge for cine film with sound.

We can also add easy listening background music to silent cine film transfers at very affordable prices.
