Lacing Film
Now that your scanner and DaVinci Resolve are communicating with each other, you can lace
up your film.
1 Accessing the Scanner
Open your scanner’s sliding doors.
On the internal front panel you’ll see a feeding spool on the left, and a taking spool on
the right. The feeding spool holds the film to be scanned, and the taking spool collects
the scanned film.
2 Setting Film Wind
Set the ‘wind type’ so the spools turn in the appropriate direction. Go to DaVinci
Resolve’s film scanner panel and set the ‘wind type’ to B/A by clicking ’B’ and ‘A’ on the
‘feed’ and ‘take up’ buttons, respectively.
B/A is your scanner’s default wind type which has the feeding spool traveling in a
clockwise direction and the taking spool traveling counter clockwise. Refer to the ‘wind
types’ section in this manual for more information.
This is also a good time to make sure that your settings are appropriate for your film
type and size.
You can select from positive, negative, interpositive and internegative in
DaVinciResolve’s film scanner panel, as well as 16mm, 35mm and various
perforation layouts.
3 Preparing the Take up Spool
Slide the supplied 75mm spool core and core clamp onto your scanner’s taking spindle.
To apply the core clamp, hold in the clamp’s button and push it onto the spindle until
you feel resistance, then release the button and push the clamp on the rest of the way
until you hear a ‘click.’
