Appendix D-6: Film Splicing and Editing Guidelines
Follow these guidelines to ensure the scanner correctly reads the data holes.
IMPORTANT: When splicing rolls of film, always splice first, then edit.
NOTE: The drawings are not to scale.
Use care with
sticky splice
material
Because the splice material
is sticky, it is possible for
residue to remain on the
splice material after editing.
Ensure that light can shine
through all holes.
Avoid over-
punching
Be careful to avoid
accidentally punching a
frame twice, which results in
too many holes for the
scanner to interpret.
Cut splice
material flush
with the film
Too much splice material is
cut, causing incomplete
punches.
Not enough splice material
is cut. This will interfere with
correct film tracking.
Make sure
editing results
in holes
entirely within
the frames
The punches are on the
edge of the film. The
punches must be
completely within the
frames.
