Transfer of your film to external hard disk

Do you want to edit your films? Do you want to add sound or to make a compilation? To ensure maximum quality and convenience for the customer the film should be copied to hard disk. This takes places in DV format (AVI). One hour of film (60 minutes) equals a file size of 13 GB. The files will be divided into blocks of 1 or 2 GB. In this way, problems that might occur when importing the files to the video-editing progam will be avoided. You should make sure that you have sufficient space on your internal HD or, even better, install an additional big-sized disk. The files can be easily accessed in various video-editing progams and various platforms. For example, Studio8 for PC and Imovie for the Mac are popular and easy to use programs. Importing of your files/films will be a piece af cake if you use these programs. After that you are to go to compile and produce your own DVD!

Preparational activities
First, your films will be cleaned and checked for defect splits. After that, the films are transfered. Transfer by telecine ensures that highest quality possible. During the transfer ('scanning') the color, exposure, brightness and speed are checked and corrected on a constant basis. This saves you a considerable amount of time and effort.
