Are you ready to digitize your old videos, photos, and films? Preparing your media for transfer is an important step to ensure a smooth process and the best possible results. Here’s a quick guide to help you get started:

1. Gather Your Media

Collect all the tapes, reels, and photo albums you want to digitize. Check attics, basements, and storage boxes for hidden treasures.

2. Organize and Label

Before handing over your media, organize it in the order you’d like it transferred. Label tapes or reels with dates, events, or any identifying details to make the final digital files easier to sort.

3. Check for Damage

Inspect your media for signs of wear and tear. While some damage can be repaired, it’s helpful to know what’s salvageable. Surfside Video offers restoration services for old or damaged media, so don’t hesitate to reach out if you’re unsure.
