User Manual

The ‘Acceleration’ and ‘Shuttle Speed’ sliders should be
loweredwhen scanning older, delicate archival film
 Max Acceleration: Sets the maximum change in speed to increase or decrease by
5-30 fps per second.
 Max Shuttle Speed: Changes the speed of shuttling from one section of film to another
between 1–100 frames per second for 35mm film, and between 1–200 frames per
second for 16mm film.
 Film Tension Adjust: If your Cintel Scanner has sprocket wheels, this setting gives you
the ability to adjust the amount of tension applied to 35mm film. For example, when
loading delicate archival film, orcompensating for film shrinkage. There is no possible
way you can damage the film with the ‘film tension adjust’ setting. The adjustment
values are very small and only gentle changes are all that’s required to prevent
sprocket picking.
NOTE: If your Cintel Scanner has capstans, sprocket picking cannot
occur so this setting is disabled.
Editing Capture Info Metadata
When DaVinci Resolve is used in conjunction with Cintel Scanner, a set of capture metadata
fields appears at the bottom of DaVinci Resolve’s film scanner panel. The ‘capture info’ panel
has editable metadata fields that describe capture properties such as where to save files,
thetype of codec, frame rate, and the format of file names. This metadata is attached to your
clips and can be read on the media page.
Before you begin scanning, you may want to adjust some of the project settings.
The ‘capture info’ panel lets you specify
metadata for your scanned clips
