Analogue Tape Transfer
digitally remaster and repair your tapes |
 |
 |
|
We understand how precious your video tapes are, and we work tirelessly to turn regular video tapes into impressive home movies. We can transfer virtually all types of video tape, including VHS, VHS-C, Betamax, U-Matic, Betacam SP, Video8 & and Hi8.
You should be aware that this is no ordinary transfer service - far from it...
We carry out extensive restoration and repair work on your footage, and can even upscale your films to HD and produce Blu-rays of your video collection. On top of the awesome restoration process, our editors actually scrub through your footage, deleting the unwanted material like floor-filming, and lens-cap filming! We also look out for obvious mistakes like TV shows taped over family movies, and so on. Our service always includes removing these obvious bloopers to make your films as tidy and professional as possible. We challenge you to find a better transfer than ours.
"Tell me what I'm paying for..."
We digitally remaster and repair your film through our professional editing decks.
Your transfer will be carried out by one of our highly experienced film editors. Every transfer is carried out manually, and fine-tuned and adjusted to the specific needs of each tape to get the best results possible. This level of skill and use of equipment costing tens of thousands of pounds, makes it impossible to get results anywhere like ours using a home PC set-up. Results vary depending on the quality and age of the tape, and what has caused the problems, but all films experience very worthwhile improvements, with the majority of transfers being breathtakingly better. The best results are obtained by using the original recording, not a copy of a tape.
"What kind of problems can you fix?..."
Customers are astonished to find that films that jump to the point of being un-watchable due to tracking problems and stretched, saggy tapes, can become viewable film once more. Worn out and degraded tapes which have washed out colours, orange skin tones, and white fuzzy flecks, can be improved. If you have a large collection of film to transfer, why not sample the service on one tape to see just how much we can do for you - we're sure you'll be amazed!

As one of the leading High Definition film transfer studios in the country, we can guarantee you there is no loss of quality when we transfer your HD camcorder tapes and memory cards.

iPhone and iPad so you can take you memories with you. We can also transfer Panasonic 1080 50p.

| Get your 3D camcorder cards transferred to Blu-ray |
Alive studios have always been at the forefront of our industry, so when it comes to 3D
there are no exceptions! Brand new for 2011, we now offer 3D transfers from your
3D camcorder, so If you have a new 3D HD camcorder we will convert this to

|
| Getting more out of your video footage £40 per tape/card |
In an effort to maximize the quality of your video, and to take full advantage of your High Definition TV, we have introduced state-of-the-art up-scaling capabilities to our SD video transfer service. Get the most out of your SD footage and cameras! convert SD footage to higher-resolution HD formats. Our Up-scaling service has sophisticated image sampling and edge detection techniques which produce a final result that cannot be achieved with the scaling tool on your TV. Every clip is different, both in terms of image quality and content, so just using your TV or Blu-ray up-scaling feature doesn't take into account variations in light, noise, and graininess. We read the media clip and analyse the size of the clip as well as all of the fine variations. Then, using its sophisticated processing algorithm, Alive Studios transforms, smooths, and sharpens the clip to the desired HD resolution. Our Up-scaling technology is so advanced it takes a £7k Mac Pro over 12hours to upscale just 1hour of your footage - but we still charge just £40 per tape or card - we must be mad!

We offer a huge range of output formats
| Cine film transfer to DVD
This is a popular choice with customers who want to sit back and watch their home movies as a professional production. Your DVD transfer starts with a professional hollywood-style intro followed by your movie title, i.e. "The Williams Family Memories" shown as an opening title.
Each reel has a subtle fade into the next, and we place a chapter marker between each reel so you can easily jump from reel to reel with your remote control. Add a DVD menu to your order and you can name each reel, making navigation really simple.

This is a popular choice with customers who want to sit back and watch their movies as a professional production. Your DVD transfer starts with a professional hollywood-style intro followed by your movie title, i.e. "The Williams Family Memories" shown as an opening title.
Your editor carries out a good 'tidy-up' job on your footage, deleting much of the non-film and cleaning it up nicely, before adding chapter markers at relevant change of scenes, to assist you in jumping through your film from scene to scene.
Add a DVD menu to your order and you can name certain chapters, making navigation really simple, and creating a lovely polished product.

HDV (High Definition) Tapes
HDV is an inexpensive high-definition video recording format which uses MPEG2 compression to fit HD content onto the same DV or MiniDV tapes originally developed for standard definition recording.
If you are having your cine film transfer done in high definition, and you want a high quality, reliable archive copy which you can easily edit from later, then HDV tape is for you.
Output formats are: 1080/50i, 1080/24p, 1080/25p
(all transfers will be done in 1080i unless requested)
HDV is compressed using the MPEG2 codec at 28.81 mbit/sec

| Camcorder transfer to miniDV & DVCAM
We are often asked to recommend a good backup system for your video film transfers, and always offer mini dv or DVCAM tape. These highly versatile, high quality, long-lasting formats allow you to easily edit your films at a later date, and the nature of the tape is very durable and far harder to damage than a DVD or Hard Drive.
DVCAM is a professional variant of the DV standard that uses the same codec. However, the greater track width lowers the chances of dropout errors. DV-Cam produces excellent quality pictures and is frequently used within the media industry.
Those without access to a DVCAM player should opt for miniDV tape. To play these back to your computer, you just need any miniDV camcorder that your link up using firewire, and you're away.
Whilst many customers order AVI files for editing, which are great, you will find a miniDV or DVCAM tape a better permanent storage format. If you want to safely store this important film for generations to come, then this is your best option by far.

| Transfer to High Definition ProRes
ProRes is the perfect choice for those wishing to edit their HD video footage on a computer. All five versions of the ProRes codec share the same fundamental attributes. ProRes uses variable bit rate (VBR) encoding to minimise file sizes for storage efficiency.
It also optimises decoding to offer multistream, real-time editing performance and preserves the original frame width of HD so you won't have to reposition or resize graphics in a finishing workflow.

of our senior editors whose backgrounds in film production
and advertising mean you get a one-off Hollywood quality
movie of your life! The theme of the film is entirely up to you... perhaps
it's a dedication to your wife showing her as a young
woman, then a mother, then a grandmother... Perhaps it's
in memory of a loved one you've lost... Perhaps it's
a celebration of your whole family's life together showing
the happiest times - Xmas, birthdays, holidays etc.
Whatever
your reason, tell us why you're producing this film
and who it's for and we will create something perfectly
fitting for the occasion. (If you don't know the content
of the films you're sending, don't worry you can tick
the "happy memories" option and we will simply
find the happiest pieces of film for your highlights
chapter. Your
price also includes inserting up to 30 photos to compliment
the movie. These can be interspersed throughout the
film, or added as a slideshow at the end.

to truly personalise your film, why not add a written
dedication or poem which will show on screen at the
start of the film... for example: "To the most
wonderful Dad in the world - Thank you for 50 years
of Love! Kathy.

| Transfer Plus |
|
| Extra £10 per tape |
Are you one of many people who has tapes that have very good film on that you want to watch, but you are aware your film work is a little 'messy' and really wish it could be cleaned up a little before it is transferred to DVD or Blu-ray?
"Transfer Plus" is the same high-quality transfer we always offer, but with one major difference...
One of our editors will actually watch your film for you and give the footage a good "clean up".
By "clean up" we are referring to scenes where you are filming the floor, or are walking whilst recording but there's nothing really worthwhile happening. We aim to cut down your film by removing the unnecessary clips wherever possible, resulting in a more watchable, tidy film.
More info on Transfer Plus
This service is offered on the understanding that you cannot make specific instructions as our charge allows for basic clean-up editing only, and is not intended as a full, detailed edit. (if you need more than Transfer Plus, try looking at our VIP service). Work is carried out at your editors discretion, and whilst we are happy to read through any notes you wish to make (perhaps to point out a specific area you are concerned about), we cannot guarantee that any special requests can be met.. but we aim to please so we're sure you'll be really pleased with this service.
Transfer Plus price is an extra £10 per tape
Transfer Plus in HD price is an extra £15 per tape |

Managing large collections of films and photos is so simple because Karishma helps you log and organise everything in our user-friendly interface. Karishma is available to you 24 hours a day, you can even chat and send messages directly to your editor.
Not only are your order details stored here, but very soon, the actual movie files will be there too! You will be able to view and share all your films with your family and friends via your Karishma Account. With built-in social networking, sharing your family history and precious movie moments will be right there at the click of a mouse! Karishma V2 is in development now and will be launched early 2012. You don't have to wait though, as you can tick the 'take part in K2' button on our order-form and we will save your movies to the development server today, so they are online on launch day.
