Preservation Quality From Professional Videographers

Our video professionals will clean and convert your family's old super 8, 8mm and 16mm film movies into clean and restored, easy to view digital videos.

Our process is a true frame-by-frame transfer which scans each individual frame of film one-by-one using a progressive scan capture system. Our experts then manually color and exposure correct each scene at no extra charge.

Did you know? Unlike most competitors who only handle VHS tapes, DigMyPics specializes in digitizing every type of home movie format including both film reels AND video tapes.

"You made a 75 year old man cry with happiness... His wife of 36 years died of cancer 16 years ago and he was able to watch her move again as they danced on screen. Thank you so much."

Our Professional Film Transfer Process

True Frame-By-Frame Transfer

Your film is captured frame-by-frame as each frame passes through a projector with an enlarged gate with a specialized LED light source in front of a half-inch 3CCD progressive scan camera.

The enlarged gate allows us to capture the entirety of the frame. As each frame passes through the projection gate, a picture is taken. These individual frames are put into specialized software that converts the frames into a movie, resulting in a solid, smooth, flicker-free capture.

Film Cleaning & Lubrication

Each reel is individually cleaned and lubricated with Edwal Anti Static Film Cleaner. The film passes under a microfiber cloth that removes dust and debris that may have built up over the years.

During this process, we inspect the film, add leader if necessary, and repair tears or bad splices. At no extra cost, we will combine up to 8 small 50ft reels together onto one large 400ft archival reel for more compact and safe storage.

Specialized LED Lighting

Unlike super bright projector bulbs that tend to blow out a picture, our specialized LED light source provides a softer and more realistic light. We can control the brightness of each scene during capture so that darker scenes are brighter and brighter scenes aren't blown out.

Our LED light source puts out much less heat than a projector bulb to eliminate the chance of film burn or hot spots on the movie.

Hand-Monitored Transfer

Unlike an automated setup, we monitor your film as it is captured to be sure no dust or hairs get into the transfer. We watch the transfer on an LCD TV Monitor and keep clean, compressed air ready in case any debris gets into the film gate.

We then take your film into our professional editing consoles and convert your captured film to play at its original speed on your TV or computer. We remove all blank footage at no extra charge.
