Overview
Inherited a bunch of assets from the before time. Converting 8mm tapes to digital.
Resources
- Knockoff Wolverine 8mm Converter
- Small 1" piece of paper. The early model of the Wolverine has a design flaw, there are only two white tabs to hold the film down, and no 3rd tab to help keep the film pressed against the advancement sprocket. Laying a small piece of paper between the film and the lid added the necessary pressure to keep the film pressed into the sprocket and allow the film to advance.

- Old Windows Movie Maker (The one packaged with Windows10 has all the needed features behind a paywall)
Old Windows Movie Maker Notes
- 8mm film from Wolverine needs to be slowed down to 0.6 seconds (or 0.533): Source
- Super8 18 fps 0.6
- Super8 24 fps 0.8
- 8mm 16 fps 0.533
- My personal experience working with the Wolverine hardware and Movie Maker software, 0.75x "felt" the most correct.
- If uploading the videos to Youtube, there is an option from YouTube to slow down or speed up the viewing.
- Save video for high deg
- Turn on image stabilization and wobble correction
