Even if it’s an old version, I stick with it for a reason that I can’t remember now… 😄 but it works very well usually, so I’m a bit worry… the War of the Stars II is stuck at 70.5% since yesterday; the Clones Revealed is slowly downloading, while Sith Revealed is less than 1%… hope the night will move things a bit!

Meanwhile, I’m not sleeping - apart few hours during the night, usually… I’m testing the DeFade script, to squeeze out every frame from a given shot - thinking that a shot in a trailer could last only two or three seconds FADES included, this script could restore a great percentage of trailer shots!

Also, experimenting with chroma key seems to give good results. The thing which scares me most is the audio; apart deleted scenes with proper audio (that could be used “as is” or with little tweaking), there are some without audio, or with almost unusable one (the sandstorm scene comes to mind). For the brief shots (half to one or two seconds) I thought to “stretch” somehow the audio from both parts, to cover the gap.

Sandstorm scene is in need of big audio restore; I’m not an audio expert, so I don’t know if it’s possible to recover somehow the voices which are burden under tons of noise… someone thought to take dialogs from other films: good idea, difficult to put in act. I wonder if the radio drama contains this scene; if so, it will be great and easy to fix.
