4: Editing
Options: |
DIY Editing (i.e removing, re-ordering or enhancing your film):
Due to the huge increase in customers looking to take greater control
over their material, we are often asked for an additional edit friendly
version. This has been fuelled by easy to use and economical editing
software along with increasingly powerful PCs. (These options are
much better for editing than playback DVDs which are better suited
for general viewing purposes and storage). |
DV
AVI File (PC)
(Easy to Use for Editing - Price Per Hr of Footage)
|
£39.99 |
DV
AVI Files provide the highest quality version that we offer. They
are large files (roughly 15GB per Hr) that we supply on a portable
hard drive. Thereafer they can simply be imported into your editing
program. These files also allow a great deal of versatility in respect
of what you can with the video therefater (i.e adjusting light levels
etc). For those after a quality finish, the golden rule to edit
in a quality format initially (such as the DV AVI file) and then
distil to a more compressed format such as mpeg2 to make your dvd
thereafter. The original DV AVI files can then be kept as a master
version for your family archives. The portable hard drive itself
can either be supplied by us or yourself if you have one handy with
lots of space. |
MPEG2
Files - (Per Hr - Supplied on DVDs) |
£34.99 |
In
the hiarachy of video files, these are more compressed than avi files
and hence smaller in size. Here you simply load the videos files onto
your PC via our discs. Alternatively, for an additional cost, we can
make your life even simpler by providing your files on an external
hard drive. |
Mini DV (Economical Route for
DIY Editing! - (One hr max per Mini DV) |
£24.99 |
Considered by many to be an ideally suited format, Mini DV provides
an economical but high quality solution which is simple to import
into your PC. You'll just need access to an everyday Mini DV camcorder
from which you can output your film. |
Quicktime Files (MAC) (Easy to Use for Editing - Price Per Hr of Footage) |
£39.99 |
These
are high quality files that are particuarly suitable for mac users.

For
8mm film here is a guide, but you need to understand that is is possible
to have recorded the film at 16, 18 or 24 frames per second so this
time should be considered a good guess, but not precise. Film Duration
Reel Diameter Inches) & Length Feet (Metres) Duration - minutes:
3"
Reel = 50' 3.5mins
5" Reel = 200' 15min
7" Reel = 400' 30min
16mm Film will be shorter (roughly half the durations above) |

The
width and sprocket holes should be helpful, also super 8 comes (mostly)
on reels that have a larger centre hole as compared to standard 8: |

1932
marked the introduction year by Eastman Kodak of the revolutionary
8mm film gauge, known as Double Run 8mm or Double 8mm movie film (also
as Double Regular 8mm, Regular 8mm, Standard 8mm or Normal 8mm). This
film gauge was clearly based on its 16mm big brother, and had an additional
sprocket hole added, with a frame size 1/4th that of 16mm film. Eight
millimetre also underwent a transformation in 1965. The frame image
was enlarged by 50% by using smaller vertical perforations. The so
called super 8 film was supplied in 50' 8mm cassettes. |
