I’ve found a very subtle “DeHalo” plugin to deal with the obvious EE for GOUT ANH. For ESB and ROTJ, I wonder if I should apply the same script to the films (with varying GOUT sync fixes) – as they all have lots of aliasing and EE, though it may be less severe compared to ANH.
Good choice using the UK GOUT. Don’t forget to find and insert the last frame of Reel 5 from the US GOUT in ROTJ.
My current script for ROTJ duplicates the prior frame where the missing frame should be. Once I finish procuring the NTSC version of ROTJ, I will drop it in… and voila!
Also, I kept QTGMC in my script, but used the progressive version of the tool – as it reduced the grain in the image, and also reduced shimmering in the video. It does not discard a field, unlike in my first iteration of the script. Paired with EEDI2, about 80-90% of the aliasing is taken care of, but some minor flaws will still be present.
