Editing
A number of post-processing steps are required after the video has been recorded with the camera. The most important is the speed correction. The speed at which movies are recorded with the 8mm film camera may differ from the speed at which it is digitized. The formula to calculate the correct speed correction is:
\(\hspace{2em}100 \times \frac{\text{original speed}}{\text{digitized speed}} \%\)
For example, a movie that was originally recorded at 18 frames per second and digitized at 16.66 frames per second that can be corrected by a factor of 108%.
Table of common speeds:
original speed | digitized speed | conversion factor |
16 | 16,666 | 96 % |
18 | 16,666 | 108 % |
24 | 16,666 | 144 % |
