IMPORTRANT - Follow the steps below and read all the info on this page before ordering. Please only place your order when you are ready to send your film in for service! We can not provide service if you do not follow the STEPS below.

Your Steps:

  1. Place your order on product page. Do not mail your film without placing an order first. 
  2. Download your Film Form - A filled-out FILM FORM must be included with your exposed film. Download the form HERE. Please note you must include FPP Film Form in your package with your film or we will not be able to process your order. 
  3. Where to mail your film -  Our address is on the Film Form.
  4. CHOOSE RESOLUTION - The default resolution is HD (1920x1080). You can use the drop-down above to choose a higher resolution. Note that higher (2k or 4k) resolution does not increase the quality or color grade of your scan. Higher resolution choices (2k or 4k) only give you larger pixels and file size. Unless you are working in a 2k or 4k edit environment, HD is recommended (and most cost effective). If you have specific requests or file types that you need, please include this info on your film form.
  5. Aspect ratio - By default we scan the entire frame 16x9 including sprockets (if your frame is 4x3). Super 16 and Ultra 16 image will fill the entire 16x9 frame. If you'd like your film matted a certain way (i.e. pillar boxed or letter boxed or other), let us know on the FPP Film Form.
  6. File Type - Service includes mp4 resolution files. Other file type outputs upon request. If you have different specs or output preference include the info on your Film Form that you submit with your film.
  7. How is my film scanned? Your film is scanned on our LaserGraphics ScanStation /  DaVinci Resolve Color Grading (Best Light)

FPP Steps:

  1. CHECK IN - We will email you upon check-in of your film, typically within a few business days of arrival but on occasion this may take longer.
  2. SERVICES - We will email you with your scan file download link upon completion of services. Please note that while film scanning color grading is performed at our headquarters, we use partner labs for processing and their turnaround may impact our schedule.
  3. Turnaround - Turn around (once we check in your film) is approximately 4-6 weeks from start to finish. 
  4. Film Return - We return your developed film approx. 4 weeks after completion of service. We hold on to the developed film roll(s) so that you can check your scan to ensure that everything is correct.

Service Limitation - Once you place your order, immediately send your film in for service. This service becomes VOID after 60 days from the date of purchase. (Avoid your order becoming void by only ordering service when you're ready to send in your film for developing / scanning). Only purchase the service that you need. (For example, if you purchase three develop/scan orders, make sure you send your three rolls in one package for service. Orders can not be split up over time)

What is the difference between Negative Film and Reversal Film?

  • Negative film is a film that after development produces a negative for scanning to a digital file. Negative film can not be projected and is returned to you (unslit) on a film core.
  • Reversal Film is a film that produces a positive image after development. The film is slit and returned to you on a 50 ft reel. Reversal film can be scanned and also projected in a vintage film projector. For more information, read our BLOG here.

We accept the following film types:

  • Kodak Vision3 Color Negative Films
  • Kodak EXR, Vision and Vison2 film
  • Kodak Ektachrome 100D Color
  • Kodak Plus-X BW
  • Kodak Double-X
  • Kodak Tri-X BW
  • Kodak 7363 High Contrast
  • Orwo BW Films
  • FPP Cine 16 Double Perf Films
