Wolverine 8mm & Super 8 Reels to Digital MovieMaker Pro Film Digitizer, Film Scanner, 8mm Film Scanner, Black (MM100PRO)

Easy to use. Meets expectations

Este digitalizador cumple muy bien con la función para la que fue diseñado. La calidad del archivo de video dependerá de la calidad de la película original. Se pueden hacer algunos ajustes como encuadre (casi todas las películas lo requieren) y otros antes de digitalizar pero también se puede usar algún software de edición como Adobe Premier para mejorar colores, saturación o iluminación sobre todo. Su uso es bastante sencillo aunque es necesario estar pendiente de cuando termine de digitalizar la película ya que no se detiene automáticamente. Una película de 3 minutos se digitaliza en aproximadamente 30 minutos. Es una muy buena inversión si se cuenta con muchas películas 8 o super 8.

Sto usando questo apparecchio ormai da un paio di anni (quasi un centinaio di bobine riversate) e mi sono trovato bene. Se uno ha molti film da riversare è senz'altro molto più conveniente rispetto a far fare il lavoro da un professionista. La qualità è buona anche se non a livello super professionale, ma per i vecchi film di mio nonno, di mio padre e miei va benissimo e mi riporta indietro nel tempo. Ovviamente il processo è lento e bisogna armarsi di santa pazienza, ma il risultato è buono.

This is a review for the Wolverine Pro 8mm/Super 8mm film scanner. A lot has been written by others about the product. A couple of people did a very good job listing many of its pros and cons. But some of the cons and suggestions to remedy are a little unreasonable. It is important to remember this is a consumer quality product meant to let the average person digitize movie film, not a commercial quality product that is used in labs. So yes, the product could be improved, but that would also mean increasing the price, and at approximately $400 I think the price is right for the average person wanting to transfer old home movies, or hobbyist that digitizes movies for fun or artistic endeavors. For me, I had a bunch of old movies I wanted to digitize. I originally thought about having them done professionally by a lab. But considering the amount of films I had, and the cost to have them done commercially, it made more sense to buy this unit than to spend a thousand dollars or more to have it done by a lab. I did a lot of research and was worried by comments I read such as...it takes forever to do a film, you need to babysit the machine because it can get stuck, it splits film, etc. But I decided to take the plunge anyway. And I am glad I did! Like I said earlier, this is a consumer level quality machine, but it is packed with enough features to allow you to make nice transfers of you films. You can tweak a number of items such as sharpness, exposure, and frame adjustment. It took me a while to find an ideal set of settings for my films, but once I did, I rarely had to readjust. And when you are done, you can always make changes and enhance your copies in software. I use VSDC Free Video Editing Software, and it does a terrific job. It allows me to add music, and voice overs, etc. turning my old silent movies into talkies. The types of movies I am transferring are old 8mm home movies from the 1950s. Typical family films that were spliced together onto 5 and 7 inch reels. I am also transferring Super 8mm films I made in the 1970s as a hobbiest...stop action movies, mini silent films, and travelog movies I made, which had accompanying sound on reel-to-reel tape (which would always fall out of sync after about ten minutes). In fact, since the Wolverine does not come with anything other than a 4-3/4 inch take-up reel, I use an old 7 inch tape recorder reel as a take-up reel for my larger movies. My films have a lot of splices. Some were nice and neatly done, but others were horrible-thick and wide. In fact, some of the splices were done with scotch tape many years ago. Considering the age of the films, amount of splices and the quality of the splices, my films have been going through the unit with very little problems. As I write this, the unit is next to me transferring a film I shot in 1978. It is on a 7 inch reel, and has been running for about three hours (it is nearly done). If I were to guess, it has at least a hundred splice points if not more, and it hung only three time during the transfer...one time because the splice was too wide (overlapped both sides of the film), and the other splices were very thick (I have a feeling those were done with scotch tape). Other than that, I had no problems. I had some other films that did jump, and went out of alignment, but that was due to the film, not the unit. The film's sprocket holes were ripped and/or stretched from years of play and abuse in a variety of old projectors. This unit is not perfect, but it doesn't cost an arm and a leg. And it certainly isn't as bad as others may lead you to believe. If you are like me, and have a lot of movies you want to digitize and post online for family and/or friends to see on Youtube (hidden link only they will know about) this will do the job. In fact, if you don't want to use post production software, Youtube has tools you can use to add sound and enhance you transfer.

very pleased,the detail on my 8mm films are best ever .my memories live again.thank you cliff

大きなリールが使用可能なこと。 性能の割にコンパクトなことがあけられます。ただ惜しむらくは 日本語の取説が付属してないこと。設定の際に困り果ててしまいました。どうやったかは別として、快適に使用しています。
