Finally had a chance to check back in after a busy month of work for me, glad 2.5 is out in the wild and although I haven’t watched it in its entirety yet I’m sure the work is stellar as usual. Much appreciation as always to Harmy and everyone involved!
OK, so I have v2.0 cut assembled and I have the audio tracks from hairy_hen but I’d still like a few volunteers to check out a final workprint before I do the final release. Any takers?
I’d love to take a look of course!
still not clicking on it before i’ve seen the film. 😃
I’m scared just being on the internet today before I see it!
I’ve actually finished my preTFA marathon today using Deathalo’s adjustment of my workprint. Thanks Deathalo!
I’m now waiting in line for popcorn at the TFA premiere. 😃
Most welcome Harmy! Happy to do it and glad you liked it, got a lot of requests filled for people so I hope everyone enjoys it! Almost 24 hours before my first viewing of TFA, can’t wait, watching the OT now!
Maybe slightly off-topic but I’m making Harmy DVDs for my dad for Christmas. For ROTJ, would you guys recommend v1.0 or is the workprint complete enough for now? I know the video quality is supposed to be much better in the WP.
I appreciate any opinions!
IMO – and it pains me to say it – 1.0 is better for general-purpose enjoyment than the 2.0WP. The missing subtitles can be fixed, but the crazy wrong R2 freakout just wrecks it, worse than blurry eyebrows. For my own purposes – like a lot of people here, it seems – I’ve made a mashup of the workprint with 1.0 spliced in at a few key points. I’m confident the second workprint or final release of 2.0, whatever’s next, will be clearly better than 1.0 in every respect. The first workprint very nearly is.
I fixed that scene in my re-edit of the 2.0 Workprint, which I’m more than happy to share if you PM me.
I finished my edits of ROTJ 2.0 Workprint and, with Harmy’s blessing, have uploaded it for sharing. If you’d like a link just PM me. May the force be with you all on this wonderful week!
Got the ROTJ 2.0 Workprint, very happy to see it before TFA in a few days, thank you for that! I went ahead and demuxed the video file and fixed the noticeable subtitle flash frames and glitches around the 14:30-15:00 mark in Premiere then re-exported in the same or higher bitrate. I also went ahead and covered up the timecode on the bottom left, if anyone wants my version to enjoy let me know and I’ll post a link.
You didn’t happen to patch the R2 Swiss Army knife with the 2004 HD, did you?
Haha, no I did not, I haven’t even watched the whole thing yet, I just was re-rendering this one so my wife and I (and maybe some friends) could watch it without timecode. I saw the subtitle glitches mentioned and quickly found and fixed with masking from next/last frames. What part of the film are you referring to, timecode wise?
I don’t have the film on me. When R2 is zapped as Han and Leia are trying to get into the bunker, he flies back and his appendages all fly out. Harmy only patched one of the two shots.

Yup, fixing that right now actually.

Edit: I think I found where you’re talking about, R2 @ 1:42:24. I can definitely make that fix and re-render. And yeah, I’m not trying to step on Harmy’s toes or anything, obviously a huge fan, just saw some things I could fix for my own viewing. I can share but I won’t post a public link here.
