I am unsure what type of film I have, is there a way of identifying
the film before I ship it? Yes, do a visual comparison with the chart below:
How long will for you to complete my job? Our “Standby rate” transfers will take from 1 to 2
weeks. Our “Priority rate” transfers are completed in 1 to 2 days (add $50/hr).
What level of color correction do you offer? All transfers we do benefit from our
DaVinci Color Corrector. A simple “Onelight” transfer will generally run 1.25 to 1.5 times
the running time of the film. A “Bestlight” transfer will take 1.5 to 2 times running time.
“Scene-to-scene” transfers require 3-5 times running time. For example, if you have 2
hours of film, expect to have between 3 – 3.5 hours for a Bestlight transfer. Please
contact us for a quote and more specific details.
Should I send my unprocessed film to CinePost? It is always important to contact
us before shipping unprocessed film. CinePost reps some of the best labs in the United
States. Unprocessed film should be sent directly to the lab for processing. Please
contact our film processing sales representative for the shipping address of a Film
Laboratory that can process your type of film stock.
What formats can my film be transferred to? CinePost offers a variety of different
formats. We support: BetaSP, Digi-BETA, MiniDV, DVCam, and DVD. Direct recording to
hard disc is available in SD & HD, both AVI & MOV!.
What is the difference between a DVD-Data disc and a DVD-One off? A DVD-Data
contains uncompressed AVI files which can be read by a computer or an editing
system. Only 20 minutes of DV video will fit on a DVD-Data disc. A DVD-One off is
compatible with DVD players. Up to 80 minutes of MPEG-2 video fits nicely on a
one-off DVD.
What type of equipment is used in the film transfers? CinePost’s Telecine Suite
centers around the versatile Rank Turbo. Our Rank is fitted with a very rare Full Aperture
35mm and Super 16mm WetGate system. CinePost also has a remarkable proprietary
Regular and Super 8mm ‘WetSystem’ telecine process which assures stunning results.
