7 Inspecting your Film
Check that the film is laced properly by pressing the 'play' button on your scanner or
clicking the 'play' button in DaVinci Resolve's film scanner panel. If you see your film
image playing in the viewer, or on an HDMI monitor if connected, you'll know your
scanner is working.
Depending on the wind type you've used, you may find that the image is flipped
horizontally or vertically. You can fix this by selecting the appropriate film type. For
instance, negative film may appear flipped left to right until the 'negative' setting is
selected. If you can't fix this by selecting your film type, you may need to reload your
film using a different wind type.
8 Focusing
Just like focusing the lens on a camera, you'll need to focus the projected film image
on your scanner's sensor. The focus dial is located on your scanner's center column.
The most accurate way to achieve perfect focus is to use the 'focus assist' feature in
DaVinci Resolve's film scanner panel. Similar to the focus peaking feature in Blackmagic
cameras, focus assist displays a green edge around the sharpest points in your image.
This lets you easily adjust focus until the green highlights are at their strongest.
Simply turn the focus assist feature on by enabling the checkbox in DaVinci Resolve's
film scanner panel, then watch the HDMI output from your Cintel scanner, or the viewer
in the film scanner panel, as you adjust the focus dial. Film grain is a terrific indicator.
When the grain in the film is registering the green edges at their strongest, your image
is in perfect focus.
Film grain is perfect for setting accurate focus using the 'focus assist' feature. In the above
example you can see the image out of focus on the left, and in focus on the right. The focus
assist feature can be seen highlighting the grain, most visible inside the perforation area.
