Drive defaults to the lowest bitrate audio track and won’t let you select one. You gotta download it and play it some other way.
Well. It’ll feel even better once the Rey Nobody version is put to bed as well, but yes. 👏
^ It dawns on me, Nev, that for V4 I think you probably gave me that feedback and I thought “oh well I’ll just fix it for V5.” Then of course for V5 I said “I’ll just use what was in V4.”
Looking at both versions side by side, it did not look wrong enough for me to even question “oh yeah of course, we’re making this look like that because that is what it’s supposed to be.” The rest of the movie has efforts to make things look less blue-green, so I was probably in that mindset of less green meaning preferable.
I hate to bring this up again, but it looks like the final color grade got applied to the Ahch-to scenes as well, unfortunately, turning Luke’s ghost red.
I did have to fudge things just a little since I had a convoluted workflow with it and layers, so when we added shots back in it would have been a lot to redo. I applied a LUT to this portion but only to a slight extent, and faded into and out of it. I looked at V4 to make sure it was in about the same neighborhood of look. Do you think it’s way far off the mark?
V5 is now out. (It’s available on the Drive, and the other places will follow soon.)
Other than to eventually update the Rey Nobody version once the components from others are ready and available for that, this V5 marks the final update this project will receive.
That said, I am happy to make the lossless audio export available to all, and provide the ProRes output to those interested individually (because I can’t host it due to space limitations), so others can build further on it. But, I feel very much fulfilled by how this project has turned out. I do not feel like we were not able to do pretty much anything that we seriously considered and wanted to.
Once again, I cannot thank this community enough for the thrilling group effort this has been, and I consider it a wonderful capstone on the Hal9000 presentation of the main Star Wars saga.
Thank you!!
French is the only language left, thanks very much.
Here are the subtitles I need translated.
you need these in dutch too?
Yes! Sorry, I think my brain started looking at the alphabetical list of languages with ‘English.’
Here are the subtitles I need translated. I sent a few people PM’s, but I am posting this here to increase the odds of getting them all done. A human speaker is preferable over Google Translate.
Also, if you have a copy of TROS with German audio, please send me a PM.
Lines to translate:
“Final lesson, Rey.”
“Leia sensed it during your training.”
“Ever since Skywalker.”
“But everyone’s only out for themselves.”
“Possibly some sort of spy!” (3PO answering “Who are you?”)
“Come home.” (Leia to Ben)
“Horrible things… have happened with this.” (It’s from the original movie, I know, but keeps me from looking up several subtitle files again)
“What’s troubling you, Rey?”
“But Leia feared the hatred that consulted our father… choosing instead to follow our mother’s path. Despite losing everything… and everyone… Leia always chose compassion over hatred.”
“Let Leia’s legacy guide you on Exegol.”
I’ll update the OP once V5 is released, which will be as soon as I can tend to everything.
The Rey Nobody version will be updated once the components for it are completed by others in the Rey Nobody thread, which I’m not involved in. Once what’s needed is ready, I’ll do it.
Makes both the trooper and Lando out to be left-handed. Not necessarily a big problem, but….
Heaping thoughts and wishes onto you too, Ady. I’m glad that it came to your attention since it evidently needed to, and hope that it’s being addressed in a way that can give comfort.
V4 was good, but V5 will leave nothing on the table.
And a workprint is available.
PM sent.
Anyone have a link to this please?
I gotchu. 😉
Good to hear, thanks for sharing!
And I’m aware of that subtitle issue from where I snagged the srt from. It’s been fixed for next release. Still may be waiting a while all the same.
It’s pretty well implied already.
And thanks!
It’s not in my department. But once the components are finished, I’ll be happy to slot them in.
Of course, JJB!
And I’ll go back to that vision moment; the background ambience is cobbled together from very little, so I’m sure there’s an opportunity to tweak what you’re talking about, DrVibble. Thanks.
Yes, as of yesterday. If you have access to my Drive, it’s in the TROS folder.
I just replaced the workprint with a new one that has fixed audio issues. I did not reencode the video stream, but I did address what Nev pointed out about ghost Luke.
Thanks for the feedback so far, and I’ll attend to the audio levels for those lines. What do you think of the youngling ghost line now?
Also, I had thought you didn’t want to use that Exegol line, JJB. I don’t have a problem with it, so I’ll replace it with the one you generated.
Also, I see what you mean about 3PO’s spy line, although I don’t think it poses a problem or causes confusion. I think it’s a funny line, so I am inclined to keep it.
I just put a workprint for V5 into the Drive, so anyone with an existing link can find it in the TROS folder.
There is no color correction applied yet, but otherwise the picture and sound are release candidates. Looking for feedback about anything wrong. Not so much about content we have already discussed in the past.
Thank you! PM me for a link if you don’t already have one to my Drive.
Wasn’t aware of the line, but I’ll slot it in!
I think the line I have is, “Ever since Skywalker, people have been fighting back. And dying.”
But yes, I don’t wish to try to alter Poe’s backstory. But it’s cool to have the option and anyone else is free to.
And I’m not phased by the lack of modulation for the first line of a scene. 😉
