Hey Jimmy, well to be totally honest you will have to do some trial and error. Set your white balance with the lamp on your projection screen(lock it). Ok since your frame rate is static the position of your camera will have to be dead on. I have found putting the camera toward the back right slightly above the lens line produced good results. Here you can dial in the shutter speed the closer to 1/30 will help with the banding. Make sure to lock your settings so you don't get large shifts between scenes. Tough to do without a variable speed projector but it can be done with good results. Hope this helps, good luck!Manny SalazarSent from my T-Mobile 4G LTE Device -------- Original message --------From: Jimmy Schaus <[email protected]> Date: 8/28/24 2:48 PM (GMT-07:00) To: Experimental Film Discussion List <[email protected]> Subject: [Frameworks] advice on informal 8mm --> digital telecine Hello, I'm doing a rough and ready, filmed off the wall 8mm --> digital "transfer" for a friend, and curious if anyone has a suggestion of frame rate/shutter speed to get the least amount of banding/flicker as possible. Frame rate of the 8mm source material is unknown (assuming 18 fps). My digital camera can do 23.98 fps with a variable shutter speed. My 8mm projector can do 12 or 18 fps. My thinking was to project the film at 12 fps, video at 23.98, adjust shutter speed until it looks passable in the viewfinder, and correct for speed in the NLE timeline (this is for a digitally edited music video). 12 fps/23.98 fps logic was that it's the closest to a clean interval. Any input/advice is appreciated!thanks,Jimmy
