Do you absolutely have to restore the crappy original mattes of the soldiers on the sides of the door?

Ha, yeah I hated to do it too, but it must be done!

Yeah so, though it's completely illegible and you'd never know the difference anyway, that's good old fashion English written up at the top of the screen instead of that damn Aurebesh.

So my idea wasn't to take the stars from the GOUT or a laserdisc transfer, but to chroma key the black out of the 2004 footage, and have underneath it the same 2004 footage, with the brightness and contrast brought up a bunch. I got the stars I wanted in one .avs file, but I couldn't get valid arguments inputed into my color key mask .avs file. I'll chalk that one up to me just not knowing what I'm doing. If anyone can tell what could be wrong with these arguments in the colorkeymask section:

Layer("Matte2.avs", ColorKeyMask("ANH_HD_Darkened.avs", $00000, 10), "add", 255, 0, 0)


In general news, the battle of Yavin is done, most everything before the Falcon enters the Death Star is done, so I'm just closing in on the middle. I'm having a great time just kinda doing this thing a little bit every day now that school's out and I have all this free time. Summer rules.
