Film to Video transfer (Telecine)

KLA offers a film transfer service with most of the cine films we transfer featuring holidays or family events, company archives or film student productions.

Our film transfer facilities enable the transfer of Standard 8, Super 8 and 16mm cine films (silent   or sound) to DVD/video and we can add titles and credits, and edit out unwanted material.

All films are initially transferred to digital tape and then copied to the format of the customer's choice (we retain the material on our digital master for a minimum of one year in case further  copies are required).

The most popular choice of format is DVD but we still also transfer cine to VHS.

Care

All films entrusted to us are treated with great care. Before we transfer a film we:

     - wind it through by hand and inspect for poor splices, damaged sprocket holes etc.

     - rectify any faults to enasure that it can safely be projected

     - ensure an adequate film leader protects the front of the film

     - add black spacer at the front (after the leader) and back end of the film

     - clean the film with special cleaning fluid

Experience

Since the KLA film transfer service was set up in 1997 we have transferred to video or DVD over 50 miles of cine film. These films range from 16mm material shot in the mid 1920s to brand new Super 8 sound student films. However the bulk are Standard and Super 8 films produced between 1950 and 1980. We have at least 2 projectors of each film gauge to cater for this range of material, optimized for silent or sound films.
