A Modern Transfer to Modern Media
All film transfers come with both the convenience of a DVD (or Blu-ray) and a high quality digital master computer file. Click here for an explanation why.
Movie Film to Editable Computer File & DVD
Please note: That although home editing is becoming more and more accessible and user friendly all the time, there can still be the odd issue with compatibility. We do our best to provide support and problems are rare but we can’t always be responsible for every issue.
We charge by the amount of film that is on a reel. Simply count up all of the reels of each given size you may have and then multiply by the appropriate price. We normal allow about 10 percent of excessive footage on a roll but beyond that we will jump to the higher price. This is to our discretion.

A general rule of thumb is if you have more than 100′ of film to transfer to HD or 200′ of film to transfer to SD, you will need an external hard drive or USB flash drive. If you have less than this, the files can be provided to you on data DVDs. To determine how big of a drive you will need please refer to this chart.

16mm Transfers: We are able to do an OK quality 16mm movie film transfer which is acceptable to most people. It is sharp and clear but the projector is not in sync with the video so there is a small amount of flicker. If the demand for 16mm transfers increase will will invest in a synchronous projector for our transfer system.

Guarantee
If you are not happy with your transfer we will undertake steps to correct any problem. If that cannot be done to your satisfaction, we will pay (up to the amount we charged) to have your film transferred by a provider of your choice.
Security
Copies of all your film footage is kept at Film Rescue for one year. After one year, all files are destroyed (due to storage constraints). You may request security shipping to have your film sent separate from the video (additional charge).
Turn Around Time
March 8th
Motion film for processing received by this date should be shipped in approximately 6-8 weeks. Rush processing is available upon request.
Please don’t wait until near the beginning of a cycle to send your film. This greatly slows down our administrative process at the start of each cycle delaying work for everyone. When we can we prioritize work that arrives to us early.
