Okay, movement, another good successful weekend. I've got the movie looking about as good as I think I can manage it. as I said earlier. this is being done off my original m2v file, not the original capture. that was lost when the drive died. however, I've been sneaky and spent this weekend rebuilding the opening credits, crawl and initial star destroyer pass in vegas 5. 0 and it's looking good.

I pinched mverta's star background off his website. (thanx for that) Tellan said humbly while prostrating himself at the altar of mverta. I also pinched the planet background of tatooine from the UK PAL DVD release.

then I rebuilt the credits, re coloured them, and used the modern fox logo. until someone comes up with a better one of the old logo, I'd rather do an mverta and use the new one. yes there is a bit of dot crawl but I can't eliminate whats left. also, I retimed to the star wars logo so that it retreats at the correct speed.

screenie of the credits. and the planet etc I used a matte for the firs time in vegas and blended my static background plate of the planet with the moving action from my capture.

note, this is not what mverta did. he re-rotoscoped all the laser blasts etc using the DVD. this is a combination of the Dvd backplate, mverta's corrected starfield. (note here that mine was derived from his small example on his website so his will be tons better.) and my captured footage with a travelling matte applied.

see what you think. I've chucked a few from later in the film as well to give you a taste

to recap, my release will be NTSC, anamorphic, possibly single layer, maybe dual, I've not got that far yet. I will have a stab like mebejedi at turning my stereo capture sound into 5.1. if not it's will be 2.0 dolby pro logic. depending on dual layer will decide on moving menu's another time.
