I am unsure what type of film
I have, is there a way of identifying the film
beforeI ship it? Yes,
do a visual comparison with the chart below:
I know how much film I have,
how do I calculate the running time of the film?
Use our film running
time calculator! Click Here!
How long will my transfer take? Our "Standby rate" transfers will take from 1 to 2
weeks. Our "Priority
rate" transfers are completed in 1 to 2 days.
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, 3/4 UMATIC, 1 Inch,
SVHS, VHS, DVD, and
D2. Direct recording to Hard Disc is coming shortly.
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.
