Playback Controls
The following playback controls are available in DaVinci Resolve and on your scanner.
Your scanner has built in controls for loading, unloading, and previewing scans.
Load
Pressing ‘load’ will tension the film loaded onto your scanner’s feeding and taking
spools as described in the section ‘lacing film.’
Pressing load once your film is properly tensioned will unload the film by returning the
compliance arms to their slack position.
Rewind
Press rewind to wind your film back onto the feeding spool. Pressing this button once
will rapidly rewind your film until it reaches the threshold of a fully loaded 75mm spool,
at which point it will stop. Press rewind again to slowly wind the rest of your film all the
way onto the feeding spool and unload your scanner.
If you are using a 50mm spool, your scanner will initially stop at the 75mm threshold.
Pressing rewind a second time will then slowly rewind until the point a 75mm spool
should have been fully rewound. If your scanner detects film still loaded at this point,
itwill resume rewinding quickly until reaching the 50mm threshold, where it will stop
again. Press ‘rewind’ a third time to completely rewind a 50mm spool.
Due to the rarity of 100mm spools, your scanner is not programmed to stop prior to
hitting the 100mm threshold. If you are using a 100mm spool, take care with your
method of loading film onto the taking spool. Please use the provided notch, or if you
don’t want to bend the end of the film inside the notch, you can use friction from the
film winding onto itself. Avoid using adhesive tape when loading 100mm spools to
make sure your spool unloads cleanly.
Step Back
Rewinds the film one frame. You can also hold down the ‘step back’ button to play
thefilm backward at slow speed.
Stop
Stops playback, fast forward and rewind.
