“Because you are a PalpaWalker?”

I got an email which I hastily misread as being a PM from Mala, rather than a thread reply.
I thought, “Oh, God! Mala’s found a glitch in what I just uploaded.”
😉
JEDIT:
All right, back to bed.
I know I’ve made some very poor decisions recently.

It works! I watched over a few sections throughout the movie and it all syncs up. I will eventually do a full sit down to confirm!
Hal and crew, FANTASTIC job as usual!

No worries, I made a very quick “sanity check”, didn’t find anything wrong. Video quality is strong (colors well balanced and quite pretty, unlike the bluray edition), sound is very fine and powerful (dts unlimited powaaaaaaaaaaa !), and the new kissing scene looks amazingly good (it even visually corrects the transition wipe to Kamino from previous versions, now keeping the warm/cold constrat that was lost with the blueish “nuit americanized” kissing), the crawl is perfect. Even the subtitles seem to be right in place. I would say this is final, you won’t need to upload/alter it again/further.
Just in case I would nevertheless suggest you to get full reviews before deleting all files from your VM.
So… congrats ! 2 out of 3, you’re almost done 😉
(ready to get another 10 years assignement to edit the Sequel Trilogy now ? 😃)
(last thing: I remember you mentioned you would make a complete uncompressed video release. I guess it’s off the table since it wouldn’t change too much to the video quality ?)

Did I say that? I encoded these at maximum settings without targeting a single-layer BluRay disc. Perhaps that was it.
Glad that everything looks good, and I agree that the sunset scene and DTS audio are wonderful improvements thanks to NeverarGreat, ChainsawAsh, and Schorman13 (for the theatrical DTS audio that prompted the effort even though it didn’t ultimately get used for more than one scene).
By the way, the video is primarily just the straight HDTV preservation Schorman13 assembled; I didn’t tweak it further. The image is quite noisy in places but the colors are correct. Given the extent to which this particular edit relies on deleted scenes, it’s the better choice of primary source even so.
Come November 2019 I will ideally have seen close to two years with this in the rear view mirror and can watch the whole saga up to that point to build up to the conclusion in which Rey fights Kylo Ren, but beats him this time and saves the day. For good?

Just watched this new version, and it’s most impressive. With the 720p version, some of the deleted scenes look almost as sharp as the rest.
I almost don’t want to bring attention to any potential issues, but there was one thing that sounded out of place - at the end of Dooku’s discussion with the Separatists, the eavesdropping Obi-wan turns his head and there is the sound of an astromech. Is this sound supposed to be there?

Damn! Nope, that’s an out and out mistake. Thank God it’s at least audio only.
People are just gonna hate that I have to replace an entire upload a second time. Not to mention ChainsawAsh. Ugh. But that’s all right, it’ll be fine.
Thanks for letting me know!

It’s fine, TAS only has the one audio track. 😉

Thanks in advance. You’ve been more than patient throughout this.

While you’re looking at TAS… last night I think I noticed a slight issue (though this was in the V4, so I don’t know if this has changed). Might be a pain since it’s video… but at the beginning of the edit, you cut from the assassination attempt to an establishing shot, then to the senate, then to an establishing shot, then to Palpatine’s office.
This is the first establishing shot
And this is the second
Problem is, the building in that first shot is not the senate building, it’s the building with Palpatine’s office (the senate building is the bigger one in the background of that second shot). So hypothetically all you would have to do here is swap these two shots.

Thank you, and yes, I was aware of that less than ideal shot choice. The video is locked at this point, and I’m okay with that.

Just noticed something else that was strange. The Chapter titles like ‘Padme Addresses the Senate’ and ‘Padme’s Family’ actually looks like ‘Padm✓© Addresses the Senate’ and ‘Padm✓©’s Family’ in VLC, with the checkmark and copyright symbols.

Thanks; should be able to take care of that one as well. Very glad you watched the whole thing, and that you enjoyed it overall.

DominicCobb, it turns out I had not yet gotten rid of the primary video source (ProRes file) for AOTC, so it will be relatively easy to make that change and reencode. I have all the audio ready and will get a fixed version addressing the errant astromech sounds and swap the two establishing shots (so at least the Senate building is in the first one, even if the focus isn’t on it).
THEN, I’ll have a beer. Maybe I’ll even post a picture of it.

That astromech sound then Obi Wan looking over makes it kind of funny. Even though it’s a mistake it’s kind of a perfect mistake, in terms of the sound and Kenobi looking over almost to if he’s reacting to it lol.
All my life as I looked away to the future, to the horizon. Never in my mind did I know where I was, what I was doing.

That’s why I was unsure of it. I thought Hal was implying that R4 followed him somehow, despite being just a dome. 😃
