Completed sound sync of reels 2 and 3.
One snippet of the Greedo scene is problematic... in the one portion where Greedo's subtitles comprise two lines, the 2nd line is chopped in half. The Swedish print has the complete two lines, but they are partially obliterated by the Swedish subtitles! The best I've been able to do so far is to grab a frame immediately prior to the appearance of the Swedish overwrite, and duplicate that lower portion of the frame to build the complete subtitle in the original. However, if you look closely, Greedo's clothing becomes partially separated in the last 1/2 second or so. It's not a perfect solution. Moving the frame manually also would look wierd because half of the subtitles would move and the other half not. So I'm not sure what fix if any is possible. Any ideas?
I also grabbed the Swedish portion corresponding to the sprocket-hole repair I had to do... it just was too jumpy. That segment also had a Swedish subtitle, but I was able to remove it cleanly!
I also tried applying that impressive avisynth filter chain by videoFred (thanks for the link, Mothr!) to a segment of reel 1. The results were disappointing - overemphasis of grain, especially. But it is making me more aware of some things I can experiment with.
It's getting close to pulldown and some test burns. But first I can't help but spend some time tinkering with avisynth to see what's possible. There is a lot of obvious correcting to be done, and that will take some time. In the meantime, I'll try and get some new screen caps and clips up, since I haven't released any since getting the new gate.
