Cine Film to Digital
Hello there! We take great pride in preserving your cherished memories for families, archives, and museums both in the UK and around the world.
With our expertise, we offer a high-end Cine Film scanning service for various film formats including 8mm, Super8, 9.5mm and 16mm. Want to know more about film formats? See our Film format page. Our deep appreciation for film drives us to be a part of the restoration process, breathing new life into your treasured moments.
Since opening in 2000, we have been a dedicated family-run business nestled in the heart of Devon. Our team comprises genuine film enthusiasts who derive immense joy from transforming disorganised and tangled film collections into pristine, restored, and high-quality movies to be cherished by future generations.
Ai Film Restoration
Constantly striving to maintain our reputation for high quality, we use Ai cutting-edge technology that makes our results superior to everything else you’ve seen. We invite you to view our examples and try to find anyone delivering results even close to ours. You can even request the non-Ai version too for complete future-proofing. We now offer Ai Film Colourisation services for turning B&W cine film into colour. Free pickup & delivery, cloud hosting, skilled film editor to digitally remaster your footage, and a service second to none. Just read our reviews…
Cine Film to USB stick
We no longer transfer cine film to DVD; instead, we offer a modern solution by transferring your Cine Film to Digital USB Stick. We give you one file for each reel, named or numbered as you like. But that’s not all! We go a step further and upload your precious films to the vibrant Alive Cloud. This means you can easily share these wonderful moments with your friends, family and colleagues around the world. Find out more from our Cine Film output format page.
Phoenix 5K Film Scanner
Brand new for March 2023, our 5K full frame scanner takes individual photographs of each cell of your film. You can have your film scanned in 2K, which is High Definition, or 4K Ultra High Definition. Ai technology is then used to clean up, restore colours and create an artefact-free perfect 24fps movie. See our dedicated 4K page.
Discover the magic of reliving your memories with our cine film transfer services, where professionalism meets a friendly touch.

Service Features
Free collection and delivery
We're happy to arrange for your postman, or our courier to collect and deliver your films from your work or home address. Delivery is always free, and collection is free for orders over £100.
Delivered in HD or 4K UHD
DVD is standard definition (SD), which should never be used for film scanning as the quality is simply too low. We use HD, which has 5 x the mega-pixels of SD, or Ultra HD, which has over 20 x the mega-pixels of SD. Phew!
All films are cleaned
Before we scan your cine film, we always give it a thorough machine clean first. Cine film typically has a fair amount of dust and hairs floating on the emulsion, so it's important to remove this loose debris.
Colour correction
Cine film will always benefit from expert colour correction to fix colours that have altered and faded over time. Extensive scene-by-scene remastering work is always included as standard for the best possible results.
Ai Film Restoration
We now use Ai to restore Cine Film. This time-aware enhancement system can help sharpen film while recovering accurate detail, remove harsh noise while recovering authentic detail in your film, soften the look of dust and scratches, stabilise the film and much more.
Delivered in True Cinema 24fps
99% of the time, film is shot at either 24fps, 18fps or 16fps. We deliver everything back to you at 24fps even if it was shot at 16fps. We are using Ai machine learning to “predict” the best intermediate frame between existing ones, which gives indistinguishable results.
Free 14 Day Ai Movie Hosting
All films we transfer for you are uploaded to our password-protected Alive Cloud; our Ai analyzes and indexes your film library, letting you search for speech, text, people, vehicles, sounds and more.
Supplied on USB stick
Your films will be supplied in MPEG-4 format on a Dual USB Stick. Plug into your TV to enjoy on the big screen. Then pop it into your computer/iPad to re-order, rename, and edit. Add your titles, music etc., to create amazing films.
Examples of work
The clips we’ve used are from genuine customer films to accurately represent typical 8mm home movies. You will notice scratches, dust, warped film, water damage etc. We don’t cherry-pick the best films for our demos – we try to use very ‘normal’ home movies to show you what you can expect from a transfer with Alive Studios.
These demos also includes atmospheric sound added by Alive Studios. Sometimes, you can see the sprocket holes from the film. We do not include these in customers’ transfers. This is for an artistic look.
