*Jarod, that was an awesome demonstration. I'm intrigued how the AEO Light Free Software reads and processess the 16 mm Optical Soundtrack. The transfer image quality seems to be quite good.*
16mm film has incredible resolution, 2048 x 1536 for the full film (looks like about 2 frames vertical) is quite low, specially now that 4K displays are everywhere.
Jared. thank you for your excellent work creating this demo. I have the same machine - Roger makes some incredible gear. I noticed you rethreaded the film for the rewind process. I just skip that and thread it under the scanner elements. Do you rethread for any reason I should know about? Also, I see you are are using the auto feature. Do you normally use this with good results in post on most films or was this for the demo? Once again, fantastic job and a contribution to the community of users. I liked the splicer demo - I have been using film cement with often bad results. I learned something. Terry in Seattle
@@jaredx2 Yes, I also do the same but on everything rewind-wise. Two more questions (since you really seem to know what you are doing!): Do you do a flat scan and to the color correction in Resolve or whatever and how do you calibrate your monitors for color accuracy? I use the DataColor Spyder in the final edit monitor. I skip the color correction sliders in Rogers program and only use the brightness function. Thanks again for you pro level advice.

@@jaredx2 What software / hardware do you use to calibrate your monitors? Sorry to be a pest. Different colors between monitors makes me nuts! Do you use DaVinci Resolve to do your color correction or do you stay in Premiere? Once again - that was the best video I have seen about the machine. Terry
digitization of film and video is always a compromise and the results we get for the money is a good balance. this is a goor scanner for what it is intended and the next step up is way outside what our lab would do. Was the snark intended?
@jaredx2 no snark intended. I have a MARK II and The quality is not good compared to a Lasergraphics scanner. I would look into at least upgrading your lens B And H sells them there about $400 and there is even a better one for $800 if your interested will send info. I use my MARK Ii for 9.5 film and 35mm film
Jared, I am in need of scanning/digitizing about 2 hours of 16mm from 1955 for a documentary. Is this something I can hire you to do, or is there someone you recommend for a high-quality scan? I've already spoken to a few people who do this, but thought you might have a more refined opinion. Thanks
Really....you do a great job. Preservation can be done in many ways. The ultimate goal is that these films can be shared and enjoyed for years to come.
Great educational video!
Excellent video. Thank you very much.

It's shocking! Shocking how well it works!
John, Need your input/opinion for massive restoration project, thank you

That was tremendous.
Thank you for posting,this is a great demo. What if I have 16mm film that has magnetic sound?
I guess, the sound portion could be digitized in a machine, that is quartz synchronized.

I want it to wind slower and steadier. Usually don’t use auto and set everything to 0. Only auto on home movies that I don’t want to have to work on.

@@tbmpvideo I haven't done any color correction other than global correction by hand and yes I sometimes calibrate my monitors ;)

I'm at the start and wonder, if it would possible to digitize the picture frame by frame, digitize the sound and to synch both.
that’s really what’s this doing
Im surprised you didnt get a good scanner for true archiving of film.

@@jaredx2 do you know how to upscale your scans
yes and the price of the lasergraphics wasn’t an option.
@jaredx2 but there's wonderful archival scanner for $35k

Find a company like mine that has a true archival quality digital film scanner. We use LASERGRAPHICS film scanner.
Jared, did you ever get your film scanned?
um? I’m gonna stop replying to these condescending comments now. Have a good one.
