It looks so good! Thank you so much for teaching me this, and thanks for doing an excellent job on the colours. It really pops now.

I did try to save other settings but I’m not sure where the file is stored? My Mac doesn’t seem to index my hard drives any more.

I’ve linked the two LUTs in my first comment and in my previous comment, is it not working?
Maybe you can copy and paste it: https://drive.google.com/open?id=1Tz0Vf3U8mUXmUwByhhz4l3q4oS66CBUZ

If you open it, you’ll see a Missing media window, you can “Locate” the video file (I’ve used the video you’ve uploaded on Vimeo) or “Offline All”, you just need the Adjustment Layer clips anyway.

You’re amazing! Thank you so much for this. Much appreciated

Ouch! Works a little too well as a comedy 😦

Thankfully they’ve highlighted almost every point we’re all trying to fix. 😃

Not sure if anyone has seen the ending of this video but the Kylo force ghost and removed old lady is pretty impressive. https://youtu.be/cW-mx3xUHT0

I’ve got another English friend who’s done some impression work before. He said he’ll help if you need it.

I’d love to have both of you! Would you mind letting me know which lines you thought worked best?

From the video or added suggestions? Just let me know abd we can do a bunch of them for you.

I’ve created two LUTs, the first one is for the shots where Luke is visible from the front, and the second one is for the sunset. After extracting the zip archive, you should be able to load them in the Lumetri Color Effect.
If you’re interested, I also have the Premiere Pro project where you can tweak the color adjustments individually.

That’s awesome. Can you send the zip to moviesremasteredinfo@gmail.com please?

Not sure how the project work for importing?

I have feeling the knights would be better suited with a British accent…

If anyone with an accent wants to submit their voice, I’ll happily put it through the effects chain! But which lines do you think we should go with?

Whos voice are you using? I’ll try the British accent if you need one.

I really like some of those pre-settings. When you mean browse, do you mean to make my own LUT or is there other settings in a Premiere Pro folder somewhere?

Really helpful info. Much appreciated.

You can store all the color adjustments in a Look-Up Table, it simply contains the original colors and the new colors.
It can be used with the Lumetri Color Effect in two ways:

• In the Basic Correction tab, select the Input LUT dropdown menu, click on Browse… and select the LUT
• In the Creative tab, select the Look dropdown menu, click on Browse… and select the LUT

The original Luke shot gets brighter over time, it’s noticeable if you compare the first shot to the beginning of the second shot, or the beginning of the second shot to its end.

I think that’s what I did. I’m not 100% sure as I played around with so many settings but that seems right. I’ll take another look.

I’m wondering if that colour changes as the sun is rising in the original footage. I did notice a few things after I uploaded that video. Think I’ve got the final moon part sorted but I’ll have to check it out with fresh eyes tomorrow. Thanks for your help.

skenera said:

I’ve also noticed brightness differences between the Luke shots, here is how I would reduce them: after the LUT is applied, add a Levels effect for the first and the second shot, set the gamma to 90 for the first shot and make a transition from 110 to 95 for the second shot.

I wasn’t sure what LUT was? Is it another program or an effect?

Not sure what the shots seem different, they’re the same shot. I’ve been playing the the last 2 shots with “the moon” and I think I’ve improved them slightly after splitting them with different colour effects. Still tricky being colourblind though.

Just as a show of what I can do, I’m currently working on giving the Knights of Ren voices, here’s my first attempt at recreating their vocal sound based off the grunts when Ben kills them. (Once we’ve pinned down the lines we want, we’ll need three other voices to join mine for this project if anyone’s interested!)

That’s a lot of fun. Great work!

I’ve just uploaded an explanation of the new Luke & Leia farewell scene I’m working on. I’ve managed to do some day to night changes but they’re not perfect. Here’s the link https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=okRkvSm4xdw

I think it’s more the fact that the dark side is more controlling of people’s emotions, a bit like being possessed so it’s against anyone’s control once you let it in. Rey saying “Ben” is like his return or exorcism in away. That’s how I see it anyway.

This version is better https://youtu.be/3J-etn7LP7k

Seems like they have a new edition arriving in 5 hours… 🤞

idir_hh said:

Something like this combined with Poppa’s falcon ending could work for a Ben lives edit.

That’s really similar to what I’m trying to do. If you know anyone that can help please let me know.

Bit too much lenses flare imo.

Hal,

I’m gonna be working on some new tutorial videos over the next few days and probably goto my other house to upload them. Are there any early scenes you’d like to see of my cuts? I’ll try to do them at the sane time.

joshuabri said:

I will second this. I too have gotten his permission to use his music,“Battle of the Heroes and Duel of the Fates” in my case for the same scene, although I haven’t attempted to put it in yet.

I’m still having trouble navigating this site but if you ever upload that scene with Samuels score please let me know. I did a very tight edit on that scene so the music queues were off.

Hi everyone !

I’ve been watching the amazing stuff you’re all doing for some time now and I’ve finally decided to join the forum.
I’m beginning with audio mixing and here’s a rescored version of the battle of Exegol, with the rearranged version of the SW main theme by Samuel Kim (I must admit I didn’t ask his permission to use his stuff but we’ll probably have to if someone wanted to implement this in its edit) :

https://vimeo.com/422006287

pw: fanedit

It’s still a little rough so please let me know about any possible improvement.

That’s a really nice job. I think you slightly lose a bit of sound quality in places. High frequencies get a little ringy so may be try to bring them down or low end up?

Samuel Kim’s work is amazing. He’s just given me permission to use some of his work. I wanted to use his duel of the fate on Kylo & Rey duel just it doesn’t fit with my cut. I hope someone else can work it in somewhere…

Hal 9000 said:

Thank you! I knew someone nailed it, thanks for that.

I really glad you’re inspired by my cuts. Try not to burn yourself out mate. I did that last week and it’s not worth it.

This was kinda cool the first time I saw it, but it’s really busy. I love the subtlety to jonh’s ghosts more and that they stay there to fight rather than just possess Rey.

I liked the idea behind that. The first scene was pretty much what I was going for but the eye thing was a little Marvel for me.

jonh said:

I personally would not add any more ghosts …
two on each side is perfect! 😃

My plans were to add everyone you heard the voice of but I feel you delivered an excellent scene and it works perfectly as it is.

Hal 9000 said:

Nah, let’s not open a can of worms. I like the four ghosts we see thanks to John.

I played with the audio for just a little bit this morning for the TIE escape, but haven’t found any better of a solution. Movies Remastered, how are you handling the scene? Leaving it as is, sans Klaud or something?

This is the sort of tricky audio thing that i wish I had a whole morning to work on. It’ll need it!

I’ve cut Klaud, cut all of Finns annoying Woo’s and weird blank expressions, cut Poe saying Sorry etc, Cut the oncoming TIEs as they just seemed to blast right past them anyway, and now I’ve taken out the whole lightspeed skipping so cut straight after the Falcon breaks through the wall and fixed the transition whoosh sounds with a climactic fade out.

I wish my upload speeds didn’t suck right now otherwise I’d show you 😦

I collected all the extended shots from the documentary. You’ll find it here in 1080p.

AMAZING! Thank you so much 😃

Does anyone have a 1080p version of D-0’s squeaky wheel please?
