Converting Super 8 to digital, also called Super 8, Super 8mm, and Super 8mm film, brings your old film back to life. Super 8, which has a larger frame size and smaller sprocket holes than standard 8mm film, also, also plays at a faster speed, which leads to larger clearer, and more colorful viewing.

Why Is Film Transfer so Important Now?

More than any other type of analog media, film deteriorates to the point of useless faster than any other. Mold eats the film, the color on film fades, the sprockets destroy sprocket holes, and the film becomes brittle. Each of these film enemies can render it unplayable, but together they are lethal. Adding to the urgency is the fact that there are very few Super 8 film projectors for conversion projects. Today, I use a high definiation frame-by-frame film scanners.

Today’s technology provides color adjustments, frame-by-frame scanning without sprockets, and is gentle on old film. If you wait too long, however, the color can fade to the point that it canoot be restored, and the film breaks with the slightest touch. Once film deteriorates to this point, it is no longer a candidate for conversion.

In addition to preserving film by converting Super 8 to digital, there are many additional benefits of today’s technology.

  1. Backup
    • Preserve digital files by making copies to your devices , to the cloud, and/or to each of the devices where it may play. Some cloud services offer synchronization with your hard drive, an additinal bonus. If you choose Super 8 to DVD, you might consider a digital option as well.
  2. Sharing
    • Share digital files through the internet using gmail or cloud options while at the same time sharing via USB and hard drive as needed.
  3. Editing
    • Edit digital files to elminate unwanted footage, dead space, or to create custom video. At the time that you digitize Super 8, choose a standard format from available editing software.
