Interesting results nonetheless.

boris: Thanks! I thought I mentioned it clearly in my first post, but I am fully aware of these alignment errors, and the only way to remove them is to do a proper warp of one of the elements. That's the next thing I will try when I find some spare hours one evening.

Thanks for the comments everyone, looks like this is a very popular issue

cbaka: the link to my website is in my signature

Marvolo: I'll look into a After FX comp as well. You will need the Color Finesse plugin that comes with After FX to do an auto correction, otherwise everything should be standard AFX filters.

ADigitalMan: Yoda, eh?

I'll take a look at that as soon as I get my GOUT DVDs

Thanks for the fan-edits by the way!

Darth Lars: Substituting the loaders with one or several HD sources are no problem. Fusion is pretty much resolution independent, which makes it nice to switch back an forth between different sizes. By the way, is there any HD material available from the old trilogy? Trailers, anything?

THX: I'll give you some screenshots where the dark aren't kept as black. The noise has a horrible compression-like pattern, but since I haven't seen it in motion yet it might not be that bad when playing. However, there's not much extra detail in there. The subtle dark grays in Darths cape are lost forever in the new SE colour grade...

Laserman: Is it really necessary to do a tracked warp? I would imagine the warp to stay coherent within each shot, otherwise there would be a wobble, right? I reckon it should be enought to do an initial warp on one shot, and then tweak it on a per shot basis, offsetting the image before feeding it into a warp node. But of course I haven't got the bonus of experience here, so... But Fusion is great, by the way

One of the reasons I picked it instead of Shake is because it runs After Effects plugins, which is a great bonus. It could be a little better on memory handling, but at least it compensated by being fast.

I will bring you an update when I get back from Berlin after next sunday.

Cheers,
