Harmy's STAR WARS Despecialized Edition HD - V2.7 - MKV (Released)
Time

Harmy said:

So, it’s been so long since I released something that I’m gonna need some advice on how to best encode UHD in h265 with some light grain and some dark scenes. I’m assuming the encoder in Adobe Media Encoder is not going to be the best option here.

Also, again, any new ideas on where to upload?

“Video quality isn´t very good”.

😦

Are you talking about the master file or the Rumble 480p one? (Which is supposed to be in 1080p).

LOL. How about just watch it and appreciate the fact you can even see it? It’s as good as it gets from a terrible standard definition video upscaled with AI. Sure, someone else could probably make it a little more crisp and sharp but what’s the point? What are you expecting? 4k IMAX with 7.1 surround sound? You realise the AI is filling in details that aren’t there hence the AI defects?

For reference, the AI upscaled version took my computer over 3 hours to render on a RTX 3060 TI card which was on 95% the whole time with my case fans on full blast. Topaz AI is notoriously slow and CPU/GPU hungry.

“A real HD would be more enjoyment”

It is in HD (the master file). I don’t think you are a movie fan at all. As long as the sound is decent, I, personally, am more than happy to watch a 360p quality fan edit no worries because it’s the movie/effort of the creator I want to see, not fretting whether it’s HD/4k or 3D with smell-o-vision.

No offence taken dude, I’m just trying to point out to you there’s only so much you can do with a terrible video in terms of making it look better.

it´s a upscale of a very poor quality.
so it wouldn´t look like a normal hd version.there is no 4k need.
and as i said there is no critism at your work.
the source isn´t very good. so you see unsharpen and square pixel.
my opinion…

I had a closer look at the scene, trying to cut it in and honestly it’s not terrible but it’s clear that the scene isn’t all there. The colours are a real pain in the ass to get to match the final film though.

trig

you can use deepfake for change organas face with organas face…😉

In the theatrical cut he is Bail Antilles not Bail Organa. So different guys with the same first name like George Washington and all the Bushes.

Star Wars: A New Hope DEVASTATOR EDITION (V.1 RELEASED)

Coming back to that shot of the Super Laser Control Room…

https://www.mediafire.com/view/h62kv48spl8sjd2/Control_Room.png/file

I found this image of the actual Steam Factory of the Location Shoot.

All the lit Buttons looking yellow is quite interesting rather than white but it also got me wondering about the two big black boxes on the right by the other guy.

Do you think they were meant to be Screens with some kind of graphic? Like showing the power charging up or something?

It could be a very cool addition to make the black boxes screens but creating the graphic or finding a suitable graphic is perhaps difficult if it’s something you feel like also attempting. I think it could be a good idea that is all and I though I would share that.

This Graphic looks retro enough?

I did a quick mock up to see what it might look like.

Ok Did a bit Better attempt anyway just for fun this looks alright I reckon.

That guy with no name said:

Update time!
V.2 will be released hopefully by March, or maybe even earlier.

The audio will be 5.1 now instead of stereo, thanks to Hal 900’s lossless mix.
below are some of the changes made for V.2

. Threepio now says “there will be no escape this time”
. scenes restored back to there original form will have the audio to match.
. stormtrooper that bumps his head now doesn’t, he stays back until the leader trooper enters the room.
. all lightsaber flashes have been re-done.
. the five frames during the escape from the DS that where removed in the SE have been reinstated.
. Frames lost during the creation of DevEd have been re-instated.
. Most changes from Darth Editous’s edit have been replicated here.
(pm for link to his edit)

Anything I missed please tell me.

also V.2 will have full visual change list, like this:
