Daniel D. Teoli Jr. Posted July 17 Share Posted July 17 I know they punched holes for ID at the lab. But I've come across some finished films that have holes in the beginning. I wonder if they were reject copies? You would think by the time they got distribution copies they would have everything ship shape. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sustaining Member Charles MacDonald Posted July 18 Sustaining Member Share Posted July 18 sometimes their is a hole that corresponds to a sync point to allow the picture and sound negatives to both be printed in -well - sync. Number punches sometimes used to identify individuals rolls. Also sometimes archives will punch a hole in the leader to do chemical tests on an old print.

Film collectors said they are cue or sync marks, but for the projectionist. Here are their replies.

Holes in the center are sync marks. You should never see sync marks on workable picture. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
