Transferring old tapes or videos digitally is becoming a popular phenomena as technology continues to rise. Many may be unaware of the ability to preserve the old box of memories in their basement usually consisting of old film, videos, photos, or audio. In this box holds precious moments once shared with friends and family, and is something that should be remembered forever. Unfortunately, with time comes deterioration of these old tapes then posing a threat to ruining loved memories. With today’s technology we are able to take old photos or videos and digitize them so they can me shared and passed down for years to come. Stay tuned as we dive into what it means to digitize and how digital video transfers work!
What is Digitization?
Digitization services preserves old memories captured on tape and transfers them to a digital file which allows them to perform on today’s technology. This means 8mm film can be cleaned and converted to a digital DVD format or a hard drive, giving you a sense of security of knowing your memories can last a lifetime.
At Keepsake Solutions, we offer a number of digitized services such as:
1. Tape Transfer
VHS tapes are degrading faster than ever, which is why we are proud to offer a transfer service from tape to DVD to preserve their quality and to share with generations to come.
2. Film Transfer
Unfortunately, media such as 8mm, super 8, or 16mm was not built to last forever. Don’t take the chance of your film deteriorating before it’s too late. This process starts by cleaning and prepping the film to digitally scan the film frame-by-frame to ensure the highest quality possible. An expert editor then color corrects the film to bring back the original color, leaving you with a smile on your face.
3. Slides
We treat slides as if each is truly unique, ensuring every scan turns out perfectly. Each individual slide is inspected for scratches and cleaned, where we then scan one-by-one to crop and color correct the image. It is then saved as a high quality .jpg file for digital use.
4. Photos
Do you have negative photos lying around? We hand check and digitally preserve your photos to bring new life to those treasured memories.
5. Audio
Don’t let your favorite tunes go to waste! Rather than tape decks, cars now come with bluetooth speakers and high-tech features that rule out the past. Our team can easily transfer cassette tapes, vinyl records, and reel-to-reel tapes to high quality audio files or CDs.
6. Editing
