![]() ![]() I managed to a section that had been folded by the projector, through the Wolverine successfully but with slight distortions on some frames. Some of these old reels were abused by the projector - chewed up parts at the beginning, ripped sprocket holes, film breaks. Making splices by hand is not that great, but it at least allows me to splice on a leader or fix a break. I can't find the splicer gadget that I think I had for 8mm, but I have tape. I don't know that I would want to do this professionally. Including import duties (prepaid), it was 581 CAD vs 670 CAD with Amazon (import duty may be applicable on that). I see that the price on Amazon has dropped a hundred dollars Canadian, but that is still about 100 CAD more than I paid. I purchased through B&H New York, as Wolverine does not ship internationally. I did scan with and without going around this spindle, but I didn't do the same film both ways. This can be avoided by not using the spindle. ![]() There is a slight problem with the left spindle being lower than it should be and some emulsion or gunk comes off there. I wouldn't purchase the older version 720P, but so far, I find the 1080P to be very good. ![]() Here is the link to the one that I purchased, the Pro model, 1080P, though not through Amazon. Now for the editing and cleaning up part. So, if anyone is concerned about speed adjustment for 8mm and Super 8 file and the Wolverine scan at 20fps, don't be. Of course, if there is too much flickering, which was a problem with the 16fps speed of 8mm film. But, looking at the Speed dialogue with no adjustment, purely with the clip as imported, the frame rate shows as 20fps, exactly what it was recorded at. If I use 0.5333 as the speed adjustment factor, then the length would be way beyond what it is supposed to be and it would be too slow. When I import a scanned clip into VPX, the clip is about 3m35s long. He never mentioned the fact that the clip was scanned at 20fps by his Wolverine, or at least I think it was, because that is what the Wolverine does by default. In one video that I watched, the guy imported the clip into Windows Movie Maker set up for 30fps (or maybe 29.97) and then made a speed adjustment of 16/30 = 0.5333. A standard 50 ft film takes about 4 to 4m30s at 16fps.īefore doing this, I did some research about how to get the clip to run in VPX at the correct speed. The 8mm film is scanned at 20fps using the Wolverine Movie Maker Pro, at full HD, or rather 1440x1080. ![]()
