Disclaimer: We are unable to digitize film that is visibly dirty, experienced extreme deterioration, or has vinegar syndrome due to the damage it might do to our equipment.
# Plan ahead:
- Capture happens in real time. One minute of film takes one minute to digitize.
- Allow time for setup, any editing of the footage and transferring to a storage device.
- Plan to do any editing or playback? You may want to bring your own headphones.
- Bring a flash drive or SD card of at least 8GB to save files. Files can also be saved to cloud storage such as Google Photos.
