I have finished about 21 minutes of the film and I am now at the tatooine shots (video-wise)
Everything is going great except for grain, Which is why I need Neat Video,
But for now, this will have to do, Have a great day.
Sounds like some good news!
Thanks for sticking around bud, love you edits too!
What’s with the distortion and white specks though? It had other kinds of visual artefacts.
I am not sure.

My guess is the 2006 DVD, based on the quality and the color of the footage.
Okay I will take that as an answer!
I found this clip on a 2GB media DVD? Any Idea what version of the film it is?
Blu-ray audio added in

This is a little off topic but how did you install the Color Matching Tool? I run MacOS and I can’t figure it out.

Enjoy.
Hello folks! Big announcement.
So I’ve decided If I ever make a V2.0 of this project I will use the 2019 masters as a Base.
Originally I was against this idea as the color of those masters looked like crap, but now that I have Dr. Dre’s color matching tool I will be able to match the color of this corrected blu-ray version to the 2019 masters, which will mean that I will use the 2019 version for version 2.0 (if it ever happens).
And this will also make it easier to clean up the 4k77 source as in this version I have to match the exact level of grain as the blu-ray, But because the 2019 version has no grain, I will just add one light layer of grain on top. Now, this version may not happen, But we can’t tell yet.
Also, a shout-out to Atom-88 for donating to the neat video problem. Thank You!
What was the process for that scene? Did you do any stitching of multiple sources or clean up a single source?
It’s probably a good sign I can’t tell.
No stitching In this shot. I just replaced the shots that were altered with the 4k77 source.
I then cleaned it using PFClean. And color corrected it With Dr. Dre’s Color Match Tool.

Cool clip, glad you removed the Dewback walking across the screen. Why there is no audio? The same thing happened with the GOUT clip, except the GOUT clip had music.
I haven’t done the audio tracks yet, so that’s why you cant hear anything.
Done with the mos eisly scene:

That looks amazing.
Thank you!

Will you edit or change the lightsaber duel in any way? Not SC 38 Reimagined, although if you want to do that it’s fine. What I mean is are you gonna edit it kinda like Adywan did, with things like speeding the duel up or adding Battle of the Heroes? Also, will you keep the Jabba scene?
The duel will be changed slightly, sped up in some scenes, and polished,
No music will be added though.
also, the Jabba scene is going to be pulverized.
Ps. “Devastator” is the name of the star destroyer at the beginning of the movie.
Hello! Star Wars fans. It’s been a long time, but I am back.
Anyways I have a problem, I need the newest version of Neat Video but It’s pretty pricy
right now it going for about 159.90 USD, which is more than I can afford for a software
Now onto Gout Reconstructed:
I have finished about 56 minutes of the film and I am now at the death star escape (video-wise)
Everything is going great except for grain, Which is why I need Neat Video, I have linked the death star scene
remember the 4k77 bits still need cleanup with Neat Video, Of course, The audio isn’t done yet as you can hear the tracks are messed up.
But for now, this will have to do, Tell me in the comments what you think of the clip.
Clip link: https://mega.nz/file/HQJiST4b#ZVVcwpS2WU7rhAeUJEE03viLL-KZGSP3WsHETYq0sOY
Also, here is the available clips:
Death Star explosion: https://youtu.be/Sxy1K3jcn8Q
Teaser: https://youtu.be/9NefNvy1zyA
Will you be upgrading the lightsaber effects? Especially the falcon training scene! I don’t understand why Lucas never fixed this in the special edition
Yes of course, I didn’t include that because I thought it would be self explanatory.
Sounds good ThatGuy, looking forward to your Gout preservation also.
Out of curiosity will you be fixing Vader’s chest control panel, so it has the blinking lights like ESB and ROTJ.
Sure, I was originally going to include that but I thought it would be too tacky.
Me too!
Thanks guys! here is the finished result: https://imgur.com/a/6SdZpzF

Here’s another
Thats the one I’m going to use!
Thanks.
I upscaled the image with Waifu2x. Heres a comparison:

Hope you like it.
That looks amazing!
This is the largest image I could find (though I only had a quick look). Obviously it does have the logo and title but they shouldn’t be too difficult to remove 👍
^ Image can be found here - https://romanian-headline.blogspot.com/2021/04/star-wars-new-hope-book-pdf.html
Some of the generic custom cover websites listed up in the An Index & Help Thread for Case Covers, Disc Labels, and Fan Art… thread may also have a decent quality image.
Good luck with it 👍
Thanks oojason! Looks gorgeous!
Does anyone have an HD version of this image? no title and logo of course.

Thanks in advanced.
Looking forward to these, dude! ^^
Thank you! They will be complete one by one, week by week. Let me know if you want any of the trailers!
I would be happy to help. Does your project require color correcting? I am really good at that.
Yes, this needs color correcting for some of them. Wings, Broadway, Cimarron OG, Cimarron DOLBY, Grand, Simpsons, and Broadway 2000 all need color correcting, and stability, as they weren’t remastered and come from the 35mm sources. Work that is needed for those in editorial are 35mm Stability, upscaling to 4K, and Color correcting.
Tex, Stampede (Tex 2), Cavalcade, and Shrek were all made into digital sources during the Lucasfilm era, so the only work needed for those are the LucasFilm bylines (especially “Shrek”) and in Tex 2’s case (the 2005 scope render), The Audience is Listening slogan at the end. I will give you highest quality sources asap, if you want.Sure! I would love to get them.
I can start work on 18th (when my new drive arives.)Okay then. The sources will be sent soon. Thanks for your help!
No problem at all.
Do you want me to pm you his email?
