Using Silverfast to scan movies

[archduk3]

Hi there everyone,

I am a cinematography student studying at San Francisco at moment. We still shoot a lot of work on film, which I love. But there are 2 problems. We have a telecine machine, but it only does SD. And for the external ones it is charging an arm and a leg.

So I was considering modifying one of my Plustek holders to allow to feed through images to scan. I would be using a plastic 8200, and motorized reel on one side, and a normal editing crank reel on the other. My goal is to create a system that can be automated, and scan TIF/RAW of each frame (even if just lower resolution) and later make them into a sequence.

I do use v**s**n for some scan already but they do not have a way to automate the scan, does Silverfast have this feature, and if so, what is the best way to go about this?

Best regards
Carl

Dear Carl,

You still would have to press the scan button for each frame.
If you could give the Mouse button an automated push you could use that function.

Kind regards,
