4K77 NODNR V1 (the other versions have awful colors) and 4K83 Minimal DNR (removes just chroma noise).
I am thinking about making a regrade of the new UHD Transfers of LOTR, so they look like the DVDs, in terms of sharpness and definition would it be worth it or should i stick to this version?
I would go with the UHD versions. They are definitely improvements.
No.
I was talking about the color grading which I think is an improvement over the original. It still has way too much DNR and EE though.
Actually, now that I do more examination I found that it depends on the scene. Isengard and Rivendell look much better on the blu-ray, While stuff like Hobbiton and the mountains look much better on the UHD. But if I was watching fellowship I would choose the Blu-ray anyday because of the atrocous quality of the UHD.
Are you still looking for this?
Yes, I am.
Lucasfilm could have done a Darth Vader series, but they are interested in bringing cartoons to live action with all the inherent sillyness of helicopter lightsabers, and inquisitors. They would probably mess it up. Never wanted the cartoons to merge with the live action any more than the EU to be directly adapted. Different mediums.
Clone wars/Rebels are not cartoons.
While I’m not actively working on a ROTJ Extended Cut, I did some work on the Vader/Luke deleted intro scene for a user who requested it. Needs a re-rotoscoped lightsaber in one shot, but other wise looking alright.
Why did you make it look so blue?
There is a green tint in the two towers?
Edit: forgot to phrase that as a question.
I have never seen the theatrical editions, just the extended, and my one big complaint was that they are way too fast paced. The theatrical versions must be absolutely awful, like MST3K level. The extended editions would of really benefited from another 2 or 3 hours each. I was sad about the lack of Tom, barrowdowns, the oliphaunt poem, and much more.
I want a Ziro the Hutt movie directed by John Waters.
I want a film about Jar Jar Binks’s sith training directed by Wes Anderson.
I don’t give a shit about Christopher Nolan, and I doubt he cares about Star Wars. All he does is guys in suits in cities with a muted cold color palette. It’s just not interesting. The grounded feel of the Dark Knight Trilogy was certainly interesting as a novelty, but at the end of the day, I’d rather the Burton films’ look.
Have you seen inception? Also in my oppinion muted colors look so much better than the normal oversaturated fare today.
Modern day color grading
My regrade that mutes the colors and fixes the contrast
Here’s the LUT:

I do have to remark, that the source here is not of sufficient quality due to extreme black crush.
I think it is a problem with the mac version of the color matcher. The one you gave me turned out good. Here is another example.

Ok, so I found out some software called streamfab can download this, but there is a catch. It is rediculusly expensive, so is there anyone who already has it?
I don’t think anyone has that, no one would spend on that
Well, it can also download from netflix, disney plus, hulu, peckock, amazon prime, and some others that I forget.
edit: the others are hbo max, hbo now, olympic games, funimation, channel 4, fanza, and there are too many to list out.
but it is 250!

Final cut pro got updated and all of my color corrections got deleted somehow! All of it gone!
I was able to recover it.

Chewbacca & holiday special stuff starts at around the 17min mark 😃.
Out of curiosity, what’s the resolution?
All I was able to find, and it was aeons ago, was 768x432.
The copies you gave me are much better quality, but they are missing little parts here and there so I created a patchwork of different copies that overall created the best possible quality. Also for some reason the HD-TV you gave me has a orange tint, and the part on internet archive was slightly to yellow. I used them in this order of priority.
Could you share the reference frame. I will create a LUT for you to test.
Haha ok.
Do you want the combined file or the individual 1 minute files?
Thanks, I will take the combined.
Would someone be willing to find a way to download this for me?
https://archive.org/details/COM_20120111_073000_The_Colbert_Report/start/0/end/60That was annoying. It’s split up into multiple parts each 1 minute long. I wrote a quick bash script to download all the parts. Works on Linux. I think Mac would also work with this?
And if you have ffmpeg, it also combines them all:main_link_start=“https://ia800609.us.archive.org/16/items/COM_20120111_073000_The_Colbert_Report/COM_20120111_073000_The_Colbert_Report.mp4?start=”

In case that didn’t format correctly when pasting here:
I just ran it and it finished. When it’s done, it had the following files:
All the ~6mb files are the 1 minute mp4s.
colbert_concat is an intermediary file made by the script, needed by ffmpeg to combine.
go.sh is the actual script
The_Colbert_Report_20120110.mp4 is the final file, 179mb.The final file seems fine. Most of the transitions at the minute marks are unnoticeable (3-4 of them had a bit of corrupted video).

Actually, how about you just send me the files.

If I am missing something obvious it is because I am very unexperienced when it comes to command lines.
Just to be clear, the result looks fine in the tool, but wrong in Final Cut? I haven’t had any issues with LUTs in Resolve, but I have never worked with Final Cut. Have you tried using LUTs from the tool in the past?
Yes you got it right, I have tried using luts from the tool in the past and they worked fine.
I am on Mac, but thanks for the suggestion.
Did you crop the black bars in the above frame while using the tool?
yes.
Would someone be willing to find a way to download this for me?
https://archive.org/details/COM_20120111_073000_The_Colbert_Report/start/0/end/60
So I created a Lut and it looks like this in the color matcher
this is what it looks like in final cut
Could you also post the original frame you regraded?
