Unlike some other transfer houses, we do NOT project your film’s image onto a secondary image, (such as a silver-screen or matt glass) but rather it goes straight onto our high-end 3CCD chip industrial camera. This direct method is most important in achieving a crisp and sharp image.

Naturally, our transfers are flicker free! And ... read more about our transfer process

Recognizing the difference between Super-8 and Normal-8

Normal 8 film has larger perforations at the edges of the film than does Super-8 film. In Normal 8, the holes are almost square. In Super-8, the holes are elongated and narrow. The film spools are also different. In Normal 8, the center hole of the film spool is smaller than the center hole of the Super-8 spool. In Normal-8, the center hole measures approximately 8 mm. In Super-8, it measures approximately 13 mm.

It’s easy to find out. From this page, you are 1 or 2 clicks away from seeing your "Estimated Completion Date." As soon as you finish your free online Estimate, it shows you the ESTIMATED completion date. Sometimes we beat that date but if, for any reason, we find we might go over by a day or two, we will surely notify you (that’s rare.)

NOTE: Our turn-around time varies based on how much work we already have "in-house" at the time your order is placed.

We base our invoice on the total minutes of your transferred footage. For slides or images, it is based on the actual number of images. Therefore, it is only after the transfer is completed that we will know the total cost of your order. We then notify you via email, and you can pay for it then.

If you have under-estimated your total footage (or slides), your invoice will be a bit more, and if you over-estimated, then the cost will be a bit less. Both cases happen sometimes, and it’s OK.

More information about our order process

Sorry, we do not. We can only transfer film that has already been processed.

If your film has not already been processed, please do so before mailing it to FilmFix. (Disappointingly, we have had to return 4 orders which were not transferable!)

To our knowledge, there are very few places that still process 8mm and Super-8 film.

Out of respect to Copyright laws and the great variety of personal taste in music, we do not add music to any of our transfers.

Yes – if your film has any sound on it, the sound will get transferred along with your image.

(Our price includeds the cost of sound transfer.)
