I’ll see what I can do. My HDD shortage means to work on this I have to unload the THX files from the RAID to my one free drive, then load the SW Reel 1 sources (four of them) onto the RAID from their drives, it takes around 4-8 hours every time I interrupt one project for another.
The alternative is to work without a backup, but I lost so much last time that happened, that I am not willing to do that again, but it currently means backing up the files every time I need to work on them, and erasing the backup of the files I was working on previously. It is rather painful.
Just as an aside, I have viewed many Ep IV crawls, and the prints I have seen a have almost no stars in the Starfield, I think it was a compositing issue with the redo of the crawl. Audiences would have seen a fairly Star-free Star Wars at the time.
To recover the stars from these prints I am actually using Astronomy software (I was also an astronomer during my production days, both were work that rewards an inability to sleep) and it does a great job of digging the stars out of the noise from multiple prints and frames. It is time consuming, but effective
