Frequently Asked Questions
Do you digitize film reels that have sound?
Yes. We digitize film reels that include sound tracks when the soundtrack is present and readable on our equipment. Sound film often involves additional handling and processing compared with silent reels.
There is typically an additional charge for sound (commonly about 15% depending on the project)—we confirm pricing in your estimate. Delivered files include the synced audio with the digital picture whenever capture succeeds.
If you are unsure whether your Super 8 or 16mm reels have sound, send a photo of the film edge/cartridge or bring a sample reel and we will help identify it.
