Introducing the Wolverine Movie Maker Pro

My father was an avid 8mm cine filmer , who recorded hundreds of films through the 60s 70s and into the 80s, when he succumbed to video.
Not only are those films the history of me and my sister growing up, but they also provide snapshots of the world as it was then.
Cine film is very difficult to share, and it is constantly deteriorating, I looked into have the cine films converted to MP4, but there are hundreds and the cost would have been prohibitive, then I discovered the Wolvering movie maker Pro. and I have started converting the films, Iv done the 60s, and now Im on the 70s, it has been an emotional journey, if you have thought about doing this yourself, please try the wolverine it is amazing.

Instead of one of those compessed air puffers, I use a canned computer cleaner compressed air like those you use to clean the insides of a PC. Also, to see the dust, I find it's better to use the external monitor option. You can hook it up to your computer screen with proper adapters and software.

Also, if the film jams, no need to open the gate to pull it out of the jam. With a pair of tweezers, you can pull it out of it's jam easly.

Great tip.

How do you compensate for the different frame rate speeds of the 8mm and Super 8 and the scan rate of the Wolverine ?

[@worldsfairphotos]

You need to adjust in an editing package after scanning.

There is a switch that does that

@@cjswildlife6798 Is there? I was under the impression that it captured to a steady 20fps MP4 file, which you can then adjust in post to whatever desired frame rate. I've also seen results where the sharpness is set to low, creating a much more organic, classic feel of 8mm film. I've been thinking about getting this unit, and if I do I think I'd rather do it that way and then sharpen using other tools in my editor so I have more control.

@@KentFrost you are probably right, I am very pleased with the results from mine, all I do in post edit, is to perhaps adjust colours. and add music.

@@cjswildlife6798 There is no switch as you discovered by now, That switch is to go between regular 8 and super 8. Edit the file afterwards in edit program to speed up or slow down.
