Sorcerers Stone will get a new update soon, a sort of V3. Framrate issues, some improved video quality at select scenes - usually dark scenes that had way too much background noise to my liking. And a few more tweaks.

Excellent! Thought the framerate thing was me, but then other videos were ok. Question, is it just my setup that has a visible lightening at the top and bottom edges or is just a side effect of colour corrections etc…?

Prefer the flow of this edit to the theatrical, can’t wait to check out your improvements.

Thank you, my friend! This is another one of those things that will be fixed. I dont know what has caused it, but it is indeed slightly annoying.

UPDATE:

For the V3 update of Sorcerers, Voldemort is now GoF-Voldemort thanks to the amazing work of Deepfake and the app Reface. This is a continuity fix well worth the trouble!

Hi Anjohan, glad to hear your update is coming along and with deepfakes too!
When do you think we will be seeing this much needed magical version?

Ive been editing in silence as to not put too much pressure on myself in these dark and difficult times, so the updated version of the film is actually right around the corner. 😄

UPDATE - V3 RELEASED

Version 3 is now released. If you have my Google Drive link, there is no need to request a new link as the version in the directory is the one updated.

Please enjoy! 😃

Top-of-the-head changes:

• GoF-Voldemort on the back of Quirell’s head.
• Some minor movement added to certain “dull” shots (read: too many static shots). This has been done to a great degree in V2, so in this version a tad more.
• A few tweaks to the opening intro. Better snow and clouds.

- Surround added ontop of the Stereo track, as to create a very, very impressive stereo soundtrack, in which the audio levels have been manually edited throughout the entire, full runtime. Dialogue and sfx is now clearer and more impressive than ever before, and even on my 9.1 surround sound home cinema, there is not much difference to an ordinary, channeled audio soundtrack.

• Replaced three bad shots with a lot of noise with 4K shots of replaced scene. I wanted to do the same with a Hagrid/Harry scene, but it was just as bad on the 4K version as the HD one…
• Improved color grading to a couple of scenes.
• More color as Harry discovers Hogwarts, and gradually getting a tad more ominous and dark as the film progresses.
• Fixed freeze frames from V2 version.
• Improved black backgrounds. Due to the film being shot on film, and a 1080p master as the source, there is only so much I can do.
• Removed the Key chase scene in-between the Devil’s snare and the Chess game. Structurally, this works so much better. Fluffy is the first challenge, the Chess challenge the second (at a staggering 6 minute runtime) and then Voldemort at a solid 7 minutes as the third challenge. It flows better, feels better - and also, the Key Challenge is awkward from start to finish. Bad CGI, no stake - and no importance to Harry’s arc.
