No special video filters are applied in this phase of the 8mm or Super8 film to HD video telecine process to improve any visually impaired film segments. The 8mm and Super8 film to HD video files is in its raw state, aside from the color, gamma and luminance adjustments made. We do offer basic film grain reduction filters as an option to remove and improve the video respectively, one of the most fundamental of aging film anomalies.
A more comprehensive film restoration protocol for 8mm and Super8 mm film maybe too cost prohibitive to consider as these techniques are usually applied to industrial clients with 16mm or larger film gauges. Contact HomeDVD for more information.
