Adjusting the horizontal position of the
stabilization overlay. In this screenshot,
theoverlay is not alignedwith the edge
of the perf.
Hardware stabilization control correctly
positioned over a perforation in the viewer. The
transparent stripe in the stabilization overlay
touches the edge of the perforation.
With the 16mm HDR skid plate installed, the stabilizer
aligns automatically to the other side of the perforation
to avoid interfering with the film image and improve
horizontal stability. When using a ‘non-HDR’ 16mm skid
plate, it functions the same as the 35mm skid plate.
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.
