Optical audio narrow track lets you reduce the audio scanning area so you can
avoid unwanted interference when scanning film that suffers from shrinkage
Magnetic Audio:
set the 'use film' setting to 'magnetic audio'.
You can identify magnetic striped audio audio track on 16mm film by looking for a
black strip next to the frames. The black strip will be copper colored on the emulsion
side of the film.
NOTE
When scanning magnetic stripe audio, we recommend setting your
scan speed to 24 frames per second for proper equalization. Scanning at other
speeds may require pitch adjustment in post.
Audio Type
Stereo or Mono Audio:
your audio type from the 'audio type' drop down menu. You can easily tell whether
optical audio is stereo or mono by inspecting your film. If you see two waveforms side
by side, your film has a stereo soundtrack. If you only see one waveform, or the packed
stripes of variable density audio, your film has a mono soundtrack. Magnetic audio is
always mono.
Choose 'stereo' or 'mono' audio depending on the type of audio on the film
Flip Image
If the image is reversed when scanning audio from negative film types, tick the 'flip
image' checkbox.
Enable the 'flip image' option to mirror the frame.
