Page "Super 8 mm film" Paragraph 16

Kodak has also introduced several Super 8 negative stocks cut from their Vision film series, ISO 200 and ISO 500 which can be used in very low light.

Kodak reformulated the emulsions for the B & W reversal stocks Plus-X ( ISO 100 ) and Tri-X ( ISO 200 ), in order to give them more sharpness.

Many updates of film stocks are in response to the improvement of digital video technology.

The growing popularity and availability of non-linear editing systems has allowed film-makers to shoot Super 8 film but edit on video, thereby avoiding much of the scratches and dust that can accrue when editing the actual film.

Super 8 Films may be transferred through telecine to video and then imported into computer-based editing systems.

Along with the computer editing option a number of enthusiasts still choose to edit super 8 film with a viewer and rewinds and then project their edit master on a film projector and movie screen.
