Film Reel Run Time Calculator

Select Film type:   
Enter Frame rate:    Most home movies were shot at 18fps if unsure
Enter number of feet:    A 15m reel is the same length as a 50ft reel


TIPS:
  • Film in boxes marked 25ft is actually 50ft of double 8 (or standard 8) film. They were shot down one side, turned over and shot down the other side before being slit down the centre and rejoined as a 50ft reel at processing.
  • Single 8 has about 40% more running time than Super 8, i.e. where Single 8 is on a standard reel it will show 40% less footage on the spokes.
  • Professional and Sound Super 8 was normally shot at 24fps whilst other Super 8 was normally shot at 18fps.
  • Standard 8mm film could have been shot at any speed with most footage being shot at 18fps. Pre 1960 footage was often shot at 15fps or 16fps.
