Hi Warren, This turns out to be an interesting discussion! First about your reply may 21. Can I post my video to Vimeo or YouTube? The answer is yes concerning YouTube, n.p. Haven't tried Vimeo. Next, I notice that I have written PAR in step 5 and 6 which obviously should be "frame size". I'm sure you understood that. Then regarding your last answer. 16fps was not a typo. The standard 8mm cameras of that time, and I'm talking about the 50's and 60*s,could often choose different film speed but I believe the "standard choice" was 16 fps. When super 8 mm came it was 18 fps as standard. This I know because I used my fathers Bolex Paillard DL-8 from time to time. I'm surprised that you haven't heard of a film scanner for 8mm film. I use Reflecta which I think you could also find named Wolverine in the US. The scanned film comes out in 30 fps and that is why I change the clip as described in step 5. The compression quality is not of the best that you can see but you can get quite reasonable results using Neat Video (an add on to PP). The original film and the scanned version are both obviously progressive so why I should use interlaced I don't understand. Anyway I've done a test clip with PAR 1,09 and interlaced and, honestly, I can't see any difference in the end result! And lastly the settings for my scanned MP4 file are: Frame size 1440x1080, Frame rate 30 fps, Scan method: Don't know apart from the fact that is done in scanner above mentioned. PAR 1.0 Oh yes. I clarification. The reasons I use Pinnacle Studio to finish up my projects are 1) I can add chapters 2) I can add sound effects and royalty free music 3) I can burn my project directly to a DVD disc. None of the above mentioned things are regrettably possible in PP. Peter
