Telecine super8 into digital?
Ok, I know, not truely a FCP question. But didn’t see any topic else that fits here.
I’ve been asked to transfer a large amount of super8 movies, so many that it actually would pay off to buy the gear needed myself.
But I’m not sure what the best equipment for the job would be.
I found some telecine machines here:

I work on mac/fcp, but you can’t capture this kind of stop motion with fcp can you?Any suggestions?

I have one of Moviestuff’s workprinter xp’s. It’s a great little unit that works fine with a mac. You will find tons of discussion on various methods of transferring super8 to video at

I also have one of these machines and they work great. The guys over at workprinter reccommend that you use Capture Mate from Ben Software to use with your machine. It is basically a stop motion capture program. We used it along with Cinema tools with great results.
Email me if you have any questions.

Hi,
The best equipment would be a Rank with something like a DaVinci for scene to scene color correction:’
“MovieStuff gives you three ways to transfer super 8 and regular 8mm film to video, both with the highest quality you will find anywhere for the do-it-yourselfer…
surpassed only by a high end Rank tran$fer.”
Pro8mm in Burbank did a great Rank transfer of Digibeta for me.
A close friend recommended (don’t have the company name) Doug at 818-885-6501 for $180 per hour (Rank with scene to scene).
Best Wishes,
Mitch
