Your family's cine films hold moments no photograph can. But acetate film decays quietly: colours fade, vinegar syndrome sets in and the film turns brittle. The sooner it's scanned, the more we can save.

"We had three reels of Super 8 from our 1972 wedding sitting in a drawer for fifty years. The colours had shifted to red, the splices had dried out, and we hadn't dared put them through a projector in decades. EachMoment cleaned every frame and brought the colour back to life. My wife cried watching her father walking her down the aisle for the first time in half a century."

Deteriorating cine film showing vinegar syndrome and moisture damage

Why Your Cine Film Needs Digitising Now

Cine film, whether Super 8, Standard 8mm, 9.5mm or 16mm, is made from cellulose acetate, a material that degrades through a process called vinegar syndrome. The acetate base releases acetic acid as it breaks down, creating a distinctive vinegar smell and causing the film to warp, shrink, and become brittle.

Colour film fades: Kodachrome shifts to magenta, Ektachrome loses its blues. Splices dry out and separate. Sprocket holes crack. And once vinegar syndrome begins, it speeds up, and it can't be reversed.

Most home cine film is now 40-70 years old. Reels stored in warm attics or damp garages are deteriorating fastest.

Vinegar syndrome is irreversible Colour fades to magenta/red Splices dry out and separate

How We Restore Your Film

Every reel is inspected frame by frame. We repair broken splices with archival tape, clean film gates to remove dust and debris, and scan at up to 5K resolution using frame-by-frame scanning that captures every detail the original camera recorded. Restoration is included in the price, apart from safe mould cleaning and repairs to snapped film, which carry a small charge per affected item.

Only pay for items you send. You don't pay for anything we can't digitise.

Frequently Asked Questions

What types of cine film can you convert?

We convert all major cine film formats: Super 8mm, Standard 8mm, 9.5mm Pathé, and 16mm film. This covers both sound and silent variants, as well as colour and black-and-white film.

How much does it cost to convert cine film?

Prices start from £7.50 per reel with up to 50% off digitisation on larger orders. Price is based on reel size (50ft, 100ft, 200ft, etc.) and the number of reels. Use our price calculator for an instant quote.

What scanning quality do you offer?

All cine film is scanned frame by frame at up to 5K resolution, so we capture as much detail as the film holds. You can also add AI Enhancement for studio-grade colour correction and stabilisation.

Can you convert cine film with sound?

Yes. We handle both optical and magnetic sound tracks on Super 8 and 16mm film. The audio is synchronised with the video in the final digital file.

My cine film smells of vinegar. Can it still be saved?

That vinegar smell is acetate decay (vinegar syndrome), and yes, we can usually still scan it. Our technicians carefully assess the film's condition and use specialised handling procedures for deteriorating acetate. The sooner you digitise, the more detail we can recover.

How long does cine film conversion take?

Standard turnaround is currently around 9-10 weeks, starting once your box is back with us and your payment has gone through. Frame-by-frame scanning is meticulous, and a single 400ft reel contains over 7,000 frames, each individually captured, so times move a little with what you send. Priority processing is available if you need your films sooner.

Can you handle damaged or spliced cine film?

Yes. We repair broken splices, re-attach loose leaders, and clean the film before scanning. Our scanners also include gate tension systems that handle warped or shrunken film that would jam in a projector. Restoration is included in the price, with two exceptions: safe mould cleaning and repairs to snapped film, where we add a small charge for each affected item, always shown before you pay.

What format will I receive my digitised cine film in?

Your films are delivered as high-quality MP4 files via your private cloud album. You can also choose USB or DVD delivery. Files are organised by reel and labelled for easy browsing.

Reels Volume Discounts: Up to 50% Off Digitisation

The more Cine Film you send, the lower the price per item, with volume discounts of up to 50% off your digitisation.
