All You Need To Know About Converting Super 8 to Digital

5/22/2020

Comments

 

If you ever owned a super ‘8’ camera, then you surely have a lot of film lying around waiting to be watched and relived. The super 8 was designed to be user-friendly so that anybody could get the hang of it. Even today, super 8 cameras are easy to come by. You can find them at vintage antiques, flea markets, camera shops and online. The 8mm cameras stopped being manufactured in the 80s with the onset of video.
If you want to stop your 8mm films from deterioration, then we suggest transferring the super 8 to digital as soon as possible. It will save you precious memories that would be irretrievably lost otherwise. There are several things to consider while you hire a super 8 to digital conversion service. For example:
  • Service specialization in 8mm restoration, whether they use sprocket fewer scanners and perform grain removal, color correction, and stabilization.
  • If you want them converted to DVDs or digital files
  • The cost of conversion
  • A local conversion service so you can deliver the footage directly instead of emailing them and risk destruction or loss
Benefits of super 8 to digital conversion
  • Once your films are digitized, they can be easily copied and distributed in any form you want.
  • The films can be easily edited. Longer films can be cut into smaller sections that focus on particular topics and events.
  • Photographs and video from other sources can be incorporated into the digitized films.
  • Replaying films on projectors makes it fragile, and it can damage your movies when you watch them, and once they are destroyed, they are gone for good.
  • Finished videos can be hosted online and shared via social media.
  • The footage can be viewed on a variety of digital devices. Videotape watching equipment is disappearing, and that ends your chances of enjoying those tapes forever.
  • It will last you at least a long time if not forever.
Video sharing and storage
Once your footage is digitized, you can make them available online, so other family members and loved ones can access them whenever they like.
  • You could use YouTube for this purpose.
  • You can opt for a paid plan that allows you to upload videos and share them as you wish.
Your family and friends can download their copies for their collection and to feed their nostalgic senses whenever they want.  
Sold on the idea of converting your super 8 footage to digital files?  You can get started now and have an impressive organized archive of home videos which you can watch with your family. Pass on this treasure to future generations. Technology has given us the ease of forever preserving our life in photos and videos. And, we’d be missing out if we don’t take advantage when we can. Keep in mind that there’s no price for memories!
