Preparing movie film for telecine involves moving your smaller reels of regular 8, super 8, or 16mm movie film onto larger (7 inch) reels, and adding about 3 feet leader to the head and tail of the roll. A short section of leader is left between each reel to aid in the editing process. The reels are spliced in the sequence they will play on your finished DVD. Prepping for telecine cleans and conditions your film removing surface mildew and dust. In addition, new reels and containers are provided so your film is ready to be put back into storage.
