Film Protection; Editing Capture Info Metadata - Blackmagicdesign Cintel Installation And Operation Manual

TIP To closely check the results of your stabilization settings before
capturing, set the viewer to full resolution. Simply click on the options settings at
the top right corner of the viewer and select 'Full Resolution Preview' from the
drop down menu. This setting does not affect the stabilization feature, but enables
the best possible preview so you can monitor how well it is performing.
It's worth mentioning that this setting will remain set until you change it back
to your previous setting. Full resolution is very GPU intensive and may result in
some frame lag. For best performance, turn full resolution off after
checking stabilization.

Film Protection

These controls are intended to allow delicate film to be handled gently by the Cintel Scanner.
Fast acceleration and shuttle speeds can be hard on archival footage, so it's recommended
to lower both of these sliders from their defaults whenever you're scanning older film.
The 'Acceleration' and 'Shuttle Speed' sliders should be
lowered when scanning older, delicate archival film
Max Acceleration:
‚
5-30 fps per second.
Max Shuttle Speed:
‚
between 1–100 frames per second for 35mm film, and between 1–200 frames per
second for 16mm film.
Film Tension Adjust:
‚
the ability to adjust the amount of tension applied to 35mm film. For example, when
loading delicate archival film, or compensating for film shrinkage. There is no possible
way you can damage the film with the 'film tension adjust' setting. The adjustment
values are very small and only gentle changes are all that's required to prevent
sprocket picking.
NOTE If your Cintel Scanner has capstans, sprocket picking cannot occur so
this setting is disabled.

Editing Capture Info Metadata

When DaVinci Resolve is used in conjunction with Cintel Scanner, a set of capture metadata
fields appears at the bottom of DaVinci Resolve's film scanner panel. The 'capture info' panel
has editable metadata fields that describe capture properties such as where to save files,
the type of codec, frame rate, and the format of file names. This metadata is attached to your
clips and can be read on the media page.
Before you begin scanning, you may want to adjust some of the project settings.
