Seeing that the “Extended Death Star” battle is now no longer being a thing, could it be a possible deleted scene under your Bluray Special Features?

There’s a hell of a lot of work that would be involved in recreating that whole scene in HD and i feel it would be time best spent on working on finishing the trilogy, so it’s a no i’m afraid.

Hmmmm I read off Media info it says 23.98 Windows says it’s also 23.98

I will run it through a convertor and see what heppens… This was from a long time ago back in the day 😃

probably a bodged up rip I reckon. I will get another version.

I wasn’t talking about your version. I was talking about kg1977’s link that he posted here:

I redid the Techdome Edit to improve it and added the Blue Milk Scene.

Nice! if you want 1920 wide blue milk with no dust here is a link (no audio).

the google preview stinks so download to see full qual.

https://drive.google.com/file/d/1o2fmTaQL1RFOqgSPhoSJQkSXiTqc1oQR/view?usp=sharing

I don’t know if the google drive download option from that link is screwed and its only letting me download the preview version, but the version i grabbed (it’s 40mb), which had the duplicate frames, is 29.97fps and contains the duplicate frames and stuttering that was mentioned.

I just checked out your blue milk clip. The problem with the duplicate frames is because it has been encoded at 29fps instead of 23.976, thus adding duplicate frames.

I just noticed a Glitch right edge of the screen:

Nice catch. Thanks 😃

Checking the original 720p master , the glitch isn’t there but it is on the 1080p upscale master. Looks like part of the next shot bleeds into this one for a couple of frames. I’ll fix it 😃 If you spot any more, please let me know so i can fix them for the full release

It’s strange how this one shot has been taken out of every online version of the latest season 3 trailer and can only be seen in the trailer on the USA version of Disney+

DevEd V.1

DevEd V.2

Flipping the Death Star causes problems with the lighting now coming from the wrong direction when compared to the stardestroyer.

It was reported that the iTunes version clips were 720p while the other versions (which was the only ones successfully ripped) were 480p

HAPPY NEW YEAR !!!

So I’m having a bit of an issue.
After rendering the file to my external drive, It doesnt open and instead sends me an error message like this:

I’ve tried to render a portion to my internal drive and it seems fine.
but the problem is that my internal drive is almost full and can’t hold a 30GB file.
what do I do?

I also tried converting it via AVIDEMUX but that doesn’t seem to work either.
I’m using Davinci resolve for rendering BTW.

It sounds like a corrupt encode. Resolve is useless at detecting any problems during render and will just continue and report a completed render. Rendering to an external drive can cause problems with large files. It’s best to render to an internal drive. Also resolve will continue to render and produce a " completed render" even if the hard drive was full prior to the render completing because it doesn’t check to see if there is enough space before rendering. Best thing to do is to shift some files temporarily from your internal drive to your external so you have plenty of space to render the movie to the internal one. Sadly you will likely have to re-render the file again.

You could possibly try loading the file into tsmuxer and demuxing the file, then remuxing as this did solve a couple of problems i had with encodes when using resolve in the past. Resolves muxing process seemed to be a bit hit and miss with larger encodes, which is why i scrapped using it and went back to Vegas.

Hi, I have the files but I’m unable to unrar them. Are they corrupted?

I was unable to unrar at first, kept tellinh me that rar001-002 is missing. The files just needed renaming the last 3 digits of the file to matche the file 1 (e.g rar001-002, *rar02-03 needs to be rar002-003 and so on). Hope this helps anyone else experiencing the same issue.

This did not work for me unfortunately. I was only able to extract part 1, which was about the first 15 minutes of the movie.

This is odd because in the part 1 rar file, I can see the movie it has prior to extraction. Parts 2 - 9 do not show any files within the rar files. I find this strange because in the past I did something similar to this with rar files with Adywan’s ESB with no issue.

Try the latest version of Winrar to unpack.

What needs to be shown is what happens when you take the 60 FPS version and take it back down to 24 to cut back into the movie. I imagine the effect will be pretty much the same as it was originally.

I tried this while working on ESB:R. The results weren’t great. In many cases the effect looked worse than the original stop motion. You are losing so many frames going from 60 to 24. I tried halving the frames and then interpolating them back to 24 and it worked a little better but , even when going from 24 to 60, you get weird artefacts where the program tries to interpret the missing frames and causes horrible results. There is one shot in ESB:R that ended up in the final version ( the TaunTaun shot running across from right to left just before it stops on the ridge and we first see Luke) In the end i used added motion blur to just the stop motion objects to smooth out the stop motion and this worked better than using the frame interpolation method. I have used the same method on the holo table creatures in ANH:R HD

I really don’t see the obsession of this whole 60fps interpolation thing. why do people think this looks better, when all it does is eliminate any filmic look and gives the horrendous " soap opera" effect. Everything looks fake. It also makes the models lose the intended scale. Looking at that clip, the AT-AT’s now look like small models , especially the closeup shot of the head, and the Rancor, which wasn’t even a stop motion creature anyway, has lost its scale and looks like a small puppet.

@adywan someone told me if you have the hdr or Dolby vision metadata from the original trilogy it can be added to your fanedit but the only thing I wasn’t sure on was would your new footage complicate that or not just wondering. because if it doesn’t I’m surprised you and nobody knew about this I didn’t know about until yesterday.

I don’t know who told you that, but they really have no idea what they are talking about. You can’t just take HDR data and apply it to something completely different. Plus the Dolby vision and standard HDR grades for the OT are complete garbage. As i have said to you before, there will be NO HDR grade for these edits, so can this please be the last word on the subject?

Adywan, this my be seem out of the blue or random, but I’d just like to say for no reason at all, that (as I’m sure you know) not everyone appreciates you only for you window shopping suitablilty.
This is an Adywan appreciantion post. You’re great and you should be told that more.

Everyone has their own ideas about their perfect edit. Adywan’s purist edition is one of the best as it is the original cut with his fixes. He has made so many and spent so much time on the tools and skills that it would be hard to replicate everything. I just stuck to the 4 that bug me most and that was hard enough. I can edit, but such FX work is very difficult. I admire his skill and what he has produced and can’t wait to have his purist 1080p version in my collection. It probably will supplant the actual original cut, except when I’m feeling nostalgic.

There isn’t going to be a “purist” 1080p version i’m afraid.

Ronster said:

Ok Ady but that is camera pointing into the snowspeeder. that one shot where luke pulls up and away and i am sure if the model was placed under we would see the Speeder outside the cockpit and there is only sky there in the film…

It’s within cockpit overshoulder of pilot shots looking forward i am talking about.

Not camera looking in to snowspeeder front window looking back out towards the gunner.

Ok got the shot I am most suspicious of 7.01 in video below just after Dak get’s killed.

https://youtu.be/BTP-PXeG9Fg

Usernamegeri don’t worry about doing a whole masked in video but that particular shot Luke ovetshoulder pulling up to me feels like we should see the snowspeeder body. Not a torpeedo cockpit.

If you can even do a rough still image I’d like to see it. No probs same boat not much time sorry.

Like i said, that snowpeeder prop was used for ALL the cockpit shots, both front and rear facing.

Ronster said:

Instead of replacing the people in the cockpits… add the missing exterior snowspeeder to the cockpit angles.

I am pretty sure the actual cockpit used to film the scenes was just a sort of torpedo shape. There was not any snowspeeder attached to a gimble.

The ones on the hoth set were mounted on forklifts if I recall correctly but they were not used for the cockpit stuff.

They used the full size snowspeeder prop for all the cockpit shots

Hello, I sent you a DM regarding your Edits of The Phantom Menace and others

What are you talking about and why did you bring it up in this thread?

I think I know why he probably thought adywan gets so many messages that he didn’t see it.

He hasn’t sent me a DM so i think he posted in the wrong thread.

exitzero said:

Can you upload at Mega, and people can download the clip if they want to see it.

I’ve just added the link to my previous post

Just a quick comparison video…

For this edit i am now using both the 2011 official Blu-Ray and the latest 2020 version. For the most part the 2011 Blu-Ray of ANH has more detail than it’s 2020 counterpart. But in some cases, the 2020 version tips the 2011 one in terms of quality and detail, especially in dark areas. So i have been replacing certain shots in the edit with the 2020 blu-ray.

This video showcases the sources used for each shot in the Homestead Droid sale.

The audio, as usual, is just a guide track and does not represent what the final edit’s audio will sound like.

EDIT: Damn it. Bloody Youtube, facebook and vimeo blocked it. You can download it from here ( approx 110MB)

New clip.

This Twitter thread has footage of the first ten minutes of Andor, which was shown with Rogue One in cinemas: https://twitter.com/AbandonedLizard/status/1563313819207643137?s=20&t=gTg7b1CiVgUKG0AWjVtn-A

Can anyone clarify if it is the first ten minutes or just 10 minutes from the first episode?

Anyway, it looks good.

I take it that no one grabbed the video before it was taken down?

What source was used to create the ANH_REVISITED_SD_x264.mp4?

The DVD-9 source if Im not mistaking.

Yeh, it was the PAL DVD-9

Dat_SW_Guy said:

Also I think you should base the SE shadow as reference, and if you can, also trim down the speeder a bit to make it thinner like it is shown here:

Don’t use the SE version of that shot as a basis on how thin the speeder should be. They made a mistake when they did that shot for the SE and cut the bottom off the speeder. Sky_'s version has the correct speeder proportions.

jedi_bendu said:

I think the only shot I found dodgy was that one of the Star Destroyer at the start. Considering how many noticeably bad special effects there were in Kenobi, that’s not bad going.

Yeh, that one wasn’t as good. Did you notice they cut the top of the tree off when compositing, then it suddenly appears when the stardestroyer has passed?

RicOlie_2 said:

I’m starting to wonder if the ships just look cheap on my computer screen. Does no one else notice that they seem badly edited into several shots?

They look really good to me. And certainly better than how crappy the ship effects looked in Kenobi. It does look much better watching the trailer on my TV through Disney+ than it does with the highly compressed version on youtube though. The only effects shot that looked really dodgy to me was the wide quarry shot. It looked more like a quick concept matte than a finished and realistic one.

New trailer:

https://youtu.be/cKOegEuCcfw

Sadly the series has been delayed to September 21st, debuting with 3 episodes

This is all i see:

Well they just dropped the whole series in one go. Just watched the first 3 eps. LOTS of unseen stuff for Star Wars, not so much new stuff for ESB, but there is still quite a bit. It’s probably going to be a lot less for ROTJ because the next ep is going to feature Indy and other projects ILM were working on by the looks of it, while the first 2 were Star Wars and the third was mainly ESB. The footage they are showing for the unaltered versions looks different to what was in the trailers, less processed, but i’d need to do proper comparisons to know for sure. These are obvious rough scans from prints, and definitely not 4k scans because they do lack detail, especially when compared to 4k77, 83 etc.
