Here is where negative1’s “frame-data” started and completed SW GOUT:

For AARRSSTW-WTSSRRAA the above data was re-checked (values tweaked here and there) and certain shots, like wipes and blank black sections, added as individual items, figuring projects like Despecialized would rework those sections as if they were a different shot. So had A. SW Gout and B. LeeThorogood’s SWSE values.
Had been working on ESB and ESBSE for “aBc eEeehi ikkmprr SsTt” think I finished a pass on the spreadsheets but hadn’t applied it to the video yet to check.

The first tab is GOUT R3, the second is the conversion to SWSE LeeThorogood’s Laserdisc capture. The “Shift Value” tab documents the number of frames the shot gained or lost between versions. This can help you out when you start to work with sources which are not GOUT sync’d. Apply an initial frame conversion, then spot the minor tweaks here and there. There will be some issues to work out how to cross correlate a shot which moves in the overall sequence, or when a shot is cut into two sections and re-positioned in the edit. Just need to find the formula.
Glad to see someone running with the concepts. I think you and I have many of the same end goals in mind.
Would you happen to have an automated process to cut up the original files into each shot as an individual file without any recompression, modification or data loss?
For other films, RotJ, was looking at an After Effects plugin which ‘spots’ film edits. So the program would hopefully spot the easy 90% of the shots which don’t look the same at the edits, then tweak that to find tune. But didn’t get into that at all before my SW life derailed. Otherwise back to Avisync and just scroll and write down the values, try to do a minute or two at a time and over a few months it’s all done.
Is your random selection done in the spreadsheet or a script of the video editor program?
Remember to write yourself very explicit notes on how you did each step. Ran into many steps I couldn’t reproduce when trying to complete the ESB version of AARRSSTW. Have thus far given up with the frustration, my apathy towards computing is making me a pissy piece of shit. Happy happy joy joy. Good Luck!
