Save your old movie film before it’s lost to time. Transfer your film to video with a Patchin Pictures Direct Film Transfer. You’ll be able to view your movies on a TV or computer monitor, or even an iPod® if you choose. Your images will be transferred to video directly from the frames of the film, not from some inferior projection to a screen. That gives you the quality you need that will be even brighter and clearer than what you may have seen in the past from a projector. Your film transfer is an important investment that we take very seriously. That’s why there is no better choice to preserve your film than a Patchin Pictures Direct Film Transfer.

Our transfers include:

  1. Cleaning the film

  2. Splicing small reels onto larger reels for better transfer and storage

  3. Transferring the film into a computer system using a three chip digital video camera.

  4. Editing out obvious blank sections.

  5. The option of editing, rearranging the order, adding titles, and other enhancements.

  6. Recording the transferred footage to tape, DVD or converting it to a video file format.

The price list below will help you calculate what your whole transfer may cost. We will be happy to go through your film with you and give you a price estimate. If you want it in a particular order, please number your reels. If you're not sure how you want to arrange your film, we provide the option for you to come in and edit it with us. This gives you a chance to create chapters and custom titles that will arrange and display your film transfer just the way you want it. If you want a quick estimate for transferring your film, please use this price calculator .

Film Transfer Prices

This price list is a guideline for you to estimate the cost of your order.  Because of the many variables involved in a film transfer, the exact prices for this service must be quoted for each specific order. We can give you a close estimate over the phone or via e-mail if you tell us the exact number of reels you have, what size the reels are, and how many VHS and DVD copies you want.  Exact prices may vary slightly depending on the condition of film and options you choose.
