It does indeed, I had forgotten. The latest version of Premiere CC has a machine learning tool that can colormatch two similar shots, but it’s nowhere near as good as Dre’s. It could however get you closer to the right color, and from there you might be able to tweak it.

I think Dre was working on a similar machine learning algorithm that didn’t require exact frames, but I don’t think he’s released it for general use. Not sure if it’s in a usable enough state to try on this scene, but you might be able to ask him and see if he’ll give it a go.

You could always try Dre’s excellent colormatch tool.

Hadn’t thought of that. Doesn’t that require exact frame matches?

One of the versions of my edit merges the island ending from TFA with the island opening in TLJ. For the life of me I cannot get the colors to match.

If anyone can match the colors the best they can between those two scenes, then I will be forever grateful 😃

It’s because it was overcast while shooting the TFA scene and sunny while shooting the TLJ scene. It might not be doable just due to the harshness of the light and shadows in TLJ.

FYI, Arrested Development season 5 is coming out on May 29!

Does anyone know how or know where one can find the music only version of the Last Jedi soundtrack? I can’t for the life of me figure out how to use it in my edit.

After some research, the isolated score is only available through Disney’s Movies Anywhere streaming app, so the only way would be if someone could do a “stream rip” (is that even possible?) or an audio recording of the stream.

And since it’s streaming, the sound would be lossy. So none of this is really ideal. Thanks, Disney.

And people gave me shit when I complained about the isolated score being a streaming-only extra rather than an extra audio track on the disc…

And TPM is my favorite of the PT. There, I said it 😛

I’m honestly surprised this isn’t a more widely held opinion. It’s my favorite by a pretty wide margin, too.

Hmmm…you believe different than I do? Ok, you’re going to be tortured forever after you die.

Oh, and that other guy who led a terrible life, raped, robbed, murdered, kicked puppies and pushed down old ladies, but accepted Jesus as his savior right at the end? He’s a better person than you are.

Nah, doesn’t seem like a shitty belief system at all.

A guy who accepts getting saved at the end isn’t gonna fool God if he’s not sincere. And if he’s sincere? Why wouldn’t that matter?

I mean how would such a guy have heard of Jesus anyway if not for someone else taking time to point it out to him. Someone who noticed he was on a destructive path and took a lot of effort to help him onto a better one?

I don’t know why you’d be against the idea that even a horrible person could find a way to redeem themselves. I mean can criminals be rehabilitated or not? Should we lock people up forever on a 1st offense? Or should we give them other chances?

A rapist and murderer who legitimately gives his life to Christ is less of a sinner than me. That’s just stupid.

Why?

I mean what’s the end game in your eyes exactly?

It’s sort of like saying a guy who was a really swell guy, but who never quite got over his racism should still be invited to the mixed wedding party instead of the former head of the local KKK who publicly backed out of his past ways and begged a sincere apology of the couple who then forgave him.

I mean is who was ‘nicer’ on a daily really the important thing here?

I mean, I wouldn’t invite the former head of the KKK to a mixed wedding no matter how long ago he’d left the organization or how sincerely he apologized, so…

Freddie Got Fingered is the most embarrassing movie ever. Cops actually arrested somebody for renting it once.

I mean…he was arrested for never returning it and not paying the fees, not just for renting it, but it’s still funny.

I love both, but I’m happy you rated Nausicaa higher than Princess Mononoke. Nausicaa is criminally under-seen and under-rated.

Only seen a few episodes so far, and while I’m really enjoying it, I think it suffers from the restructure at least as much as it benefits. While it’s great to see it in the classic AD style, this only invites further comparison with those better earlier seasons. Season 4 is almost best viewed as sort of its own thing, so the non-traditional structure was part of the fun.

Sounds about right. It really depends on how you viewed the original season 4, I think - if you didn’t like it as it was you’ll prefer the remix, but if you liked the original version you’ll probably prefer that.

I mostly didn’t like the original, so the remix really works for me. It’s similarly flawed, but in almost opposite ways.

New study finds dip shits think they’re better people. Others have more measured opinions.

Therefore, climate change is a hoax.

Indeed, science is overrated.

True, if you believe in science you’re going to hell. Climate’s very warm there.

On the positive side I bet that warming is seen as human caused.

I thought global warming was caused by not believing in Jesus?

Some congressman or senator appearing on CNN a week or so back said belief in climate change was a religion and made a kool-aid remark to boot.

Wow, what a jackass.

Everyone knows it was Flavor-Aid.

Finished Arrested Development Season 4 Remix: Fateful Consequences (yes, that’s actually what it’s called).

I liked it loads better than the original season 4. However, it should be noted that it’s not perfect.

• According to series creator Mitchell Hurwitz, its primary purpose was to have a version of season 4 that can be sold as part of a syndication package for TV broadcast. As such, there is a lot of time spent recapping earlier episodes and plotlines, which would probably be fine if you’re just catching a random episode on TV, but feels really awkward while binge-watching the season.
• A positive from the above point, however, is that the season is now 22 episodes of exactly 22 minutes in length each, with act breaks for commercials and all. In other words, the pacing now feels much more like seasons 1-3.
• The new format means that some storylines that once dragged when focused on for a full 30 minutes (George & Oscar, Tobias, Lindsey) are elevated when sprinkled throughout multiple episodes in smaller doses. I still don’t like DeBrie and Marky Bark, but they’re not as irritating when you know you’re getting more GOB and Lucille right around the corner.
• Having said that, the new format means that some storylines that worked well when contained in their own episode (Michael, George Michael, GOB) now somewhat suffer when spread out. They’re still good, but the shuffling around for these episodes can kind of confuse things for some characters.
• The lead-up to Cinco de Cuatro works much better now, and I love the montage of each character’s final interaction with Lucille 2 - it does wonders to set up season 5.

Despite all the above, there’s still the fact that the story wasn’t written this way, and while it’s nice to see it all pieced together semi-chronologically, it also shows that the timeline wasn’t quite as tight as it might have seemed when everything was separated. It also means some jokes and reveals that were spread out across the entire season before now don’t work the same way - FakeBlock is the biggest example of this. It’s still funny, but now it’s funny for a different reason, and every conversation about it that was pre-reveal in the original season 4 is now heavily recontextualized. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn’t, and that’s because - again - the season wasn’t written to be shown this way.

Overally, I still massively prefer the remix to the original season 4. It feels so much more like Arrested Development, and its shortcomings aren’t as severe in my opinion as the original version’s were.

Oh, and Ron Howard is the MVP of the remix - I swear at least 80% of his narration is brand new, and he does a lot of the heavy lifting when it comes to putting things in context. And the remix is 100% worth it for the narrator’s new joke about George Michael’s age difference in the first episode and two new “Sound of Silence” gags (one of which is fairly subtle and really caught me off guard).

I’d say it’s required viewing before season 5 shows up in the next couple weeks, even if you liked season 4 the way it was (but especially if you didn’t). As someone on Reddit put it, the original season 4 is a puzzle in pieces, and the remix is the puzzle all put together.

Arrested Development original Season 4 - 6/10
Arrested Development Season 4 Remix - 8/10

(For context - seasons 1 and 2 are 10/10 and season 3 is 9/10 for me.)

Oh, come on. You said something wasn’t doable, I politely said that several members of this and another forum have done exactly what you were saying wasn’t doable and that if you wanted assistance with it they’d be more than happy to help, and your response to that was, “Great. You’re wrong.”

“Rrrrarrrrgghhhh!”

“Time is a what? Let’s make the Falcon a no-talking zone, Chewie.”

Hahahaha what? No.

He wasn’t screening it anyway, just talking about the techniques he used in restoring it.

What Ashley said,

And You could do two subtitles with and without swearing.

I feel like if I do that the one with swearing would seem really forced.

I also agree with this.

paja said:

What Ashley said,

I realize it’s my screen name and not my real name so it shouldn’t really matter, but I’d prefer “Ash” to “Ashley.” Might have something to do with the fact that Ashley is my stepsister’s name, I dunno, but it feels wrong.

Wish I knew what to say to help you, but I’ve been in similar states of complete and total apathy like that, and I don’t think there’s anything anyone could have said to me to snap me out of it.

Hope things get better for you soon, man. If nothing else, at least know that some of us around here care about you, whether you do or not.

I’m pretty sure there’s more than a few people between this forum and Fanres that can capture LD AC3 just fine. We have LD AC3 captures of all the 1997 SW trilogy Special Edition 5.1 audio tracks, and the 1999 TPM 5.1 as well. If you were willing to lend your LD to someone with the equipment, I’m sure they’d be more than willing to capture it for you.

Great. I never said you couldn’t. I just think the extraction process wouldn’t be worth the effort due to quality degradation.

Okay, good talk.

JEDIT: ElectricTriangle said what I was gonna say before I decided you were being unnecessarily snobby and dickish about it.

I think hard swearing could work if it’s mostly played for comedy, but that depends on how comedic you’re trying to go with the edit.

But don’t hover too long, she’ll notice.

The hovering sounds like the creepy part to me, not the magnifying glass… 😉

I’m so sorry, Possessed. That’s awful. 😦

Is this whole magnifying glass thing just on desktop? I see nothing but the image.

I’m pretty sure that exact quote was in here before. From a different post obviously. Though maybe I’m wrong and someone else was doing the beating.

It may actually have been one of my posts, now that you mention it. I can’t remember though. Frink beats most of us at some point or another.
