Cine Film Transfers 

We carry out cine film transfers for the general public, television companies, museums, and archives. Our customers are mainly based in the United Kingdom but we offer international service with clients as far afield as Uganda, Gibraltar, the USA and Saudi Arabia.
 

Cine films of all formats has been used by the public and film companies since the 1920s, indeed the oldest cine film transfer we have done is from 1924 and featured a football match between Uruguay and Switzerland. Generally speaking, what we see most is Standard 8 and Super 8. These are 8mm formats which, whilst expensive, were within the reach of hobbyists from the 1950s onwards. We often carry out 16mm cine film transfer too, although 16mm film was very expensive and tended to be professional or semiprofessionally shot, often with soundtracks. 9.5mm film is the least common cine film transfer format we encounter but often tends to be the oldest, in fact, the film from 1924 was shot on 9.5mm.
 

If you are deciding to have your cine film transferred you will probably have one or more of the formats mentioned above. At Timeless Moments we have professional telecine machines for each format. We carry out all cine film transfers here in our studio where the film benefits from a thorough cleaning process before entering the telecine machine.
 

You then have a choice of how you wish to receive your films, to DVD (less common), or High Definition Digital Files (most popular). This depends on what you wish to achieve with your cine film transfer.
