Telecine (pronounced /ˈtɛləˌsɪni/, /ˌtɛləˈsɪni/, ˌtɛləˈsɪnə/, also /ˌtɛləˈsiːn/ — "tel-e-Sin-ee"; "tel-e-Sin-a" as 'cine' is the same root as in 'cinema'; also "tele-seen") is the process of transferring motion picture film into video form. The term is also used to refer to the equipment used in the process.

Telecine enables a motion picture, captured originally on film, to be viewed with standard video equipment, such as televisions, video cassette decks or computers. This allows producers and distributors working in film to release their products on video and allows producers to use video production equipment to complete their film projects. The word “Telecine” is a combination of “television” and “cinema.” Within the film industry, it is also referred to as a TK, as TC is already used to designate time code.
