cameraparis Posted August 10, 2018 Posted August 10, 2018 Hi I have the retroscan Universal For better quality ? , should I reduce the 2K to HD in FCPX or Resolve or have a direct scan in HD
Daniel D. Teoli Jr. Posted August 10, 2018 Posted August 10, 2018 Dunno, but when you get time give a detailed review. It is the only somewhat affordable option out there for scanning.
Premium Member Tyler Purcell Posted August 10, 2018 Premium Member Posted August 10, 2018 Hi I have the retroscan Universal For better quality ? , should I reduce the 2K to HD in FCPX or Resolve or have a direct scan in HD Always scan at the highest resolution of the scanner and then de-scale in post. This will help retain as much quality as possible. 1

Jan Ruzicka Posted September 29, 2018 Posted September 29, 2018 I scanned this home-movie I made with the retroscan universal 2k at full scanner resolution then cropped to 1080p, here is the result. I might not have used enough lighting when scanning, some areas are to noisy for my taste but then again I did not use the capturing software's de-noising setting.
Daniel D. Teoli Jr. Posted November 12, 2018 Posted November 12, 2018 (edited) Looked at film at highest res on YT. Looked pretty good, especially since it was done with a relatively inexpensive scanner. Nice to see sharp grain in your scans. Some of the commercial scans I see have blurry grain. Looks like they don't have the film in focus. They must just slap on the reel and hit record. Edited November 12, 2018 by Daniel D. Teoli Jr.
