Return of the Pug (ROTP) - webpage and screenshots (Released) — Page 8

It's DV, not DVD. 

I created a new topic about the interlaced video help in the Technical Help section, so if you can help, please, respond there!!! THANKS!

Harmy finished the color corrections, and I just had the pleasure of reviewing them.  They look terrific.  As soon as I download the .avi's, my work on the project will resume.

Next up - sound sync.  Ugh, I hate that part.  Although at least this time the sound and video are coming from the same film :)  It's still painstaking, as the video is locked to the proper speed, but the audio is captured with a normal analog projector and is subject to all kinds of mechanical drift.

Itching to find out if there are any audio differences.

Can't wait! (as usual)

Looking forward to seeing this progress! Has there been any since?

Been tied up with another commercial 2-disc product (more EIAJ restorations).  It is virtually done, and HAS to be finished by November 14th because that's when it goes on sale.  ROTP is next in the queue.  Next step is sound sync which I'm not relishing - but the good thing about it is that it forces me to scrutinize each frame.

Color correction by Harmy looks great.  I've had some alleged glitches with JDownloader getting it cleanly from uloz, but I haven't seen anything wrong yet.  Sound sync will verify (or not) whether everything is ok.

 I think I may have mentioned this before, but the way I get aorund this is to put a sensor on the drive shaft for the shutter on the audio projector, and use thst to record a 'click track' when capturing audio. It is only about $5 worth of components and makes synching up audio later an absolute snap, as you have one click per frame, and can adjust the audio digitally then to perfectly match the video.

Doing it manually used to make me want to jam a spoon up my nose and into my brain.

Sorry about all th e typos but my keyboad is dying!

That's very clever!

It used to take me *days* to synch sound, now it is a few clicks and I'm done.

Kind of like this, but using the click track instead of the projector.

The software works the same way though.

Not going to make it.  But I will be working on it between Christmas and New Years.  Finally will have some time off.

Just get it out before the sequel. ;)

Just started sound sync.  So far it's going a bit easier than the last two.

Hooray!

 Niiceeee, I'm just finishing downloading the first 2 puggo chapters and I wondered how much I'll have to wait for chapter 3 after I see the first ones.

Sound sync done on reel 1.  Starting reel 2 tomorrow.

Excited that it's all coming together.

Thanks for your efforts, I really enjoyed your other projects.
