Film Protection
These controls are intended to allow delicate film to be handled gently by the Cintel Scanner.
Fast acceleration and shuttle speeds can be hard on archival footage, so it's recommended to
lower both of these sliders from their defaults whenever you're scanning older film.
The 'Acceleration' and 'Shuttle Speed' sliders should be
lowered when scanning older, delicate archival film
Max Acceleration:
second per second.
Max Shuttle Speed:
between 1–100 frames per second for 35mm film, and between 1–200 frames per
second for 16mm film.
Film Tension Adjust:
tension applied to 35mm film. For example, when loading delicate archival film, or
compensating for film shrinkage.
NOTE
It's worth mentioning that there is no possible way you can
damage the film using the Film Tension Adjust setting. The adjustment
values are very small and only gentle changes are all that's required to
prevent sprocket picking.
Editing Capture Info Metadata
When DaVinci Resolve is used in conjunction with Cintel Scanner, a set of capture metadata
fields appears at the bottom of DaVinci Resolve's film scanner panel. The 'capture info' panel
has editable metadata fields that describe capture properties such as where to save files, the
type of codec, frame rate, and the format of file names. This metadata is attached to your clips
and can be read on the media page.
Before you begin scanning, you may want to adjust some of the project settings.
