Was just poking around eBay found a used camera for $0.99 plus shipping of about nine bucks. Look pretty good so I bought, yet to test it out. Now looking for a reasonable price on telecine equipment. Prefer to do my own scanning. What resolution should I use? Was thinking of topping out at 2K resolution. Probably would edit in X or Resolve, still making a choice there.

Now if I could only afford that control panel and turn my den into something that looks like the bridge on the Starship Enterprise, life would be great.

Kevin,
Thank you for posting, glad to hear from you again. I will admit I kind of did some of those things that we should not do unless we like inviting Murphy to dinner. He is very likely to attend and muck things up rather quickly.
I also learned quickly you should clone your hard drive before updating to a new version of OS X otherwise Murphy shows up, not pretty. Thankfully, in my situation, I had a bootable external drive with Yosemite on it.
Amazing the number of problems that can be avoided if we just take a little extra time and do some rather painless, though time consuming, steps. Granted, even a clean install from the ground up can cause issues as well though less likely.
Backup, clone, clean install, don’t update anything in the middle project unless you really, I mean really enjoy crossing your fingers and knocking on wood. Been there, done that, not making that mistake again.
My two cents, not worth anything in the modern day economy.
P.S. Even though I mildly dislike rental only, I am enjoying my Photoshop subscription so far. Still hoping for a buyout option.

If for every time I had $10 after hearing X is a toy scenario well I would be rich. 🙂
I used to think it was a toy but it is not. It has become my tool of choice with Resolve a very close second. Sure there can be some stuff that can be improved but overall a solid tool. The timeline gets out of my way, no worrying about clip collisions and all the organization tools are a bonus. Off my soap box.
I said trim dang it!

Thank you for posting. This looks like something on the bridge of the starship Enterprise for some reason. Amazing how technology has changed so much over the years. There are even videos of how to edit on the old film machine. Something that I always wanted to do.

Do they send the film back after it has been developed? I would like to have it and would prefer to scan the film myself. Willing to take on the learning curve and develop a new skill set.

For that price, I could get a Digital Bolex camera and some lenses for it. I was lucky enough to get a Super 16 Bolex for about $300 on eBay, she is in very good condition. I think there should be a revival in the 16 mm market.
I believe that Bolex continues to make new film cameras but at a much higher premium.
With that new Kodak camera, looks like home movies about cats.

Perhaps this will answer your question:

Of course one question remains. Will it blend?

That is a surprise. Perhaps people see analog as a solid and groovy format. Who knows what will happen with VHS next. Nothing like that blinking 12:00 AM because the power went out.

I wonder what Aindreas thinks of this. Should be an interesting and worthy post to read.
