HD (High Definition) File format output options:
1. Native Telecine file output will be a HD Quick Time Movie (motion JPEG-A) for video, WAV files will be created for audio.
Note - Film Transfers with Audio: Capturing the audio from film is a separate process from scanning the film to video. The audio will be captured as a separate WAV file. When requesting “native telecine digital files”, you will receive 2 files - a QT file for the film transfer and a separate WAV file for the audio. If you want a single file with the audio embedded, we are happy to output a file of your choice for $25.
2. Image Sequence (JPEG, PNG, BMP, or TIF) add $25/project: This option is ideal for archiving or if you are going to do additional editing of the film. There will be exactly one digital file sequentially numbered for each frame of film. If the film was shot at 18 fps, that’s the speed the image sequence will play back at. This image sequence may then be brought into an edit program and speed adjusted using your edit software.
