No big news but we're at least finished with the first film, both the GOUT-sourced and 97 SE. Well at least on my part anyway.

We're taking a little christmas break and then DJ will put back the fixed frames into SW and I will continue analyzing ESB for color errors and frames that need cleanup. We decided to clean up at least some of the worst ones. But since ESB has thousands of glue marks and flashes we will be very selective.

Oh, and about the missing frames in the 97 SE: I've made a script that recreates some of them, like the ones happening mid-scene, and also if we take the Alderaan explosion as an example, this script takes the two last frames of that and creates two new ones inbetween, and the same with the first frame of the shot after it. There was no other source clean enough to replace them, and the 2004 SE frames couldn't be matched.

This change won't be noticeable, and if you still notice it at the Alderaan explosion for example, it will look like it slows down for 4 frames at the end.

In ESB there's one part where we'll probably use Gkar to fill in the missing frames though, and that's when Luke meets Vader in the cave on Dagobah.
