The Transfer Process Explained
When you choose Memory Fortress’s 8mm film transfer service, expect a comprehensive, careful process designed to preserve your old home movies:
1. Film Inspection and Preparation
Experienced technicians inspect your films for any damage or deterioration. We carefully remove dust and debris using specialized cleaning solutions, which help prevent scratches and other harm during transfer.
2. Frame-by-Frame Scanning
Our top-tier services use frame-by-frame scanning instead of real-time transfer. This method captures each individual frame, resulting in sharper images and smoother motion. Whether you have standard 8mm movie film or other film formats, a 2K scan offers standard HD quality, while a 4K scan enhances resolution even further ideal for viewing on larger screens.
3. Color Correction and Digital Enhancement
Over time, colors in old film can fade. Our professional technicians use advanced software to adjust color balance, brightness, and contrast, restoring footage to its original vibrancy. Memory Fortress also uses digital tools to stabilize shaky footage, remove flickering, and correct common issues found in vintage films.
