ISN'T IT TIME YOU GOT INTO SYNC?


Pro8mm Announces HD Scanning for 8mm Film with Sound


GOT SOUND ON REG 8 or SUPER 8 FILM?
Isn’t it time you got into sync?
Getting Back To Our Roots with Super8 Sound™


Pro8mm has just completed the set up of a new sync sound system for the Millennium 2 HD Scanner. The new system can accommodate various sound and film configurations. The system was designed at Pro8mm, which has almost 40 years of dedicated Super8 Sound experience. We are thrilled to be able to offer this service for regular 8/super 8 production and archiving when doing a native HD scan in 1080 with the original audio track on film or magnetic fullcoat in proper sync.

The new sync sound system will be of particular benefit to our long time customers who have been with us through the evolution of single and double system sound, crystal sync fullcoat recorders, and dat audio. Pro8mm was originally called Super8 Sound ™ and was founded in the early 1970’s by a group of entrepreneurs in Cambridge, Massachusetts who invented sound for super 8. We changed the name and direction of the company in 1992 when we ceased making fullcoat recorders and introduced Super 8 negative film.


Price: There is a one time set up charge for the sync audio services when scanning on the M2.

Super8 single system (single track) $225
Super8 Stereo projects (dual track) $325.00
Regular 8 with sound $325.00
Super8 Mag Fullcoat $325.00

This creates an opportunity to take those film school projects home movies and footage you want to use in your documentary shot on regular 8 or super 8 with sound on film or mag stock and scan it to HD to create a new master with sync audio!

Sweet Leaf Party




This is the best Super 8 example we have seen so far from a client who has used our work flow for Pro8mm film, processing and scanning to HD on our M2 Scanner to put up work on the internet. We love how the material looks on VIMEO compared to YouTube. Vimeo allows you to put up to 1 gig of data!!! Pro8mm does native film scans of super 8, regular 8 and 16mm to 1080. The difference is remarkable compared to scans that are up-rezed or line doubled. We also LOVE how HD looks on Vimeo compared to YouTube and we encourage filmmakers to try this site!!! We hope this work inspires filmmakers to scan to native HD! We had a blast working with Trigger Studios!
