The majority of home movie cine films will be 8mm or Super 8mm, although there are other formats that were popular with enthusiastic movie makers back in the day. We still transfer all the popular cine film formats; 8mm, Super 8mm, and 16mm.

The spool sizes generally dictate the run-time of the content – as a guide:

8mm & Super 8mm

3″ reel holds 50ft of cine film – approx. 4 mins run-time

5″ reel holds 200ft of cine film – approx. 15 mins run-time

7″ reel holds 400ft of cine film – approx. 30 mins run-time

16mm

3″ reel holds 50ft of cine film – approx. 2 mins run-time

5″ reel holds 200ft of cine film – approx. 8 mins run-time

7″ reel holds 400ft of cine film – approx. 15 mins run-time


If your original source film contains sound, this will also be transferred across as part of our transfer process.
