    Blond Ambition Tour - AI upscale (updated) HD - both the Yokohama and Nice shows.

    in The World Tours

    Posted

    These are new versions of the Blond Ambition Tour, both the Yokohama and Nice shows. Both concerts are in HD (1080p) and made by using a new AI Upscaling method. I also used different source material/files, not the ones that I had previously worked on and posted. Take a look, and the actual quality of the concerts can be seen only after downloading them, not just in previews.

    I hope you like them.

    No one is under any obligation to post download links to anything. My post was referring to the fact that this user was heavily promoting his video over and over for months when, at the time, they weren't viewable *at all* either by streaming or download, and he then posted he was never gonna show them anyway. Hence my post, "much ado about nothing then". Also, your attempts at stirring up s**t with me are rather repetitive and transparent. I'm not one to be lectured about not sharing enough.

    I posted the links to both shows today. Links above. I would love to get some feedback.

    Thank you so much, VideoProc sounds like it can handle what I did with MPEGstreamclip, will definitely look into it and Davinci Resolve.

    What is the RAM on your computer? I am worried since even though my macbook has the M1 chip, its the 8GB Ram one. So not sure it can handle Davinci Resolve. Please do include me in your list for the links.

    Thanks again.

    8 RAM is enough to handle both softwares without problem.

    Ram: 16 GB. Videoproc together with daVinci is a winning combo for sure. Topaz if you are into AI. I added in my lengthy comment more about VideoProc and 4K.

    would it be possible to have a link please? What you have done looks amazing and I'm obsessed with Blond Ambition

    Uploading to MEGA. Everyone who has replied here or PM me will get links to both shows. I am sorry it has taken so long, I just had to make a slight changes. I had added too much sharpness that to me appears slighly "uneven" and hence not "realistic" enough so I fixed that without crushing detail. I am sure every single member here knows my OCD is huge, but lets hope it ultimately resulted in something great. I can't promise that everyone will love it, but I can promise, I worked my ass off for about 5 months, from not knowing anything about video processing/editing, while also working a 150% job time as a doctor in the middle of a pandemic, that is also a reason why I am so late and not very active here. I hope you guys can bear with me. And if someone doesn't like the concerts, I am very sorry, but I poored my heart and soul to this with 0 exerience. I even had to buy a new computer with a higher RAM and processing power. Also I am not in competition with anyone else, I did it because of my love for this concert.

    Please dont let interlacedgeek intimidate you. I am just watching his BA "upscale" and although I appreciate the effort, his upscales are completely faithful to the originals in the sense that he doesnt seem to take any additional creative decisions on his own. What I mean is that he upscales but for example, if Nice BA was blurry and the colors were not vivid he leaves it like that. He does not make additional efforts to make it sharper or with more vivid colors. So honestly I much prefer upscales like yours where you are making an effort to make it more vivid and with increased sharpness. Please do share and put him on ignore. 

    In other topics, I just got a new Mac and I am unable to install the software I used to edit videos on my old mac, for example mpegstreamclip which I used to cut long files into shorter files without loosing quality or that I used to convert from mpeg to dv, mp4 or mov does not work with the new Mac OS. Do you have any software that you can recommend for me to do this?

    Also, when you say: daVinci Resolve (much better than premium pro btw); for color correction <--- do you mean the free version of davinci resolve is better than the premium version, or what exactly do you mean?

    Thanks 

    Thank you for your kind words. ? I will of course send links to Nice/Japan to the ones that ask. I am hypercritical of my work and a bit insecure. A few months ago I didn't even know what encoding meant, I just tought myself to do all this and it was a very frustrating process, but also rewarding in the end. But my insecurities is why no links are in the download section yet. Funny you mentioned sharpness, cause I thought I added too much sharpness, almost to the point of looking "fake" so I slighly changed it, hence the delay in the PM sent links (sorry about that).

    As for software, I recommend daVinci Resolve. I have the paid version (I hate Premium pro with a passion), but you are using Mac, so daVinci is the one for you. It does more than color correction, but I am sure you know all it does. I have a PC, but daVinci, Topaz, HandBrake, Corel VideoStudio 2020 and VideoProc all work for a PC. HandBrake also works on Mac but its not perfect and is very slow, it does a decent job on deinterlacing if you want a progressive video, which you do. But daVinci is the best video editing software and popular amongst mac users, and the free version allows you to do surprisingly much. Another great but underrated software is VideoProc and it works for Mac. It is underrated because its so simple to use. Snobs will dismiss it. It isnt the best for very detailed color correction, but I had to use it, because it handled motion issues and frame rate change extremely well (better than all other softwares) and is great for deinterlacing. It's also the most simple, yet best software if you want to manually add B frames, relative to GOP settings. Mostly it's ideal for encoding (rather than editing) and for deinterlacing, plus frame rate change, without causing judder/stutter issues, and it takes advantage of high quality engine, with full GPU accelerationfull and can encode H.264, H.265 (HEVC), MKV and QuickTime, MOV (which is what you want), but you have to pay for the 4K capable processing version. It also rips DVDs/Blurays and internet links like youtube videos and works for both android and iPhone. But for pro editing and post production, it is not nearly as good as daVinci. That is why I used several softwares, because one would do a much better job for a particular task but not great for something else, for example motion was a problem and the less sophisticated software was in the end, the best. (sorry long post) And links are coming I promise.

    Thanks.  Im lost though. 3 times I've asked you how to go about getting a copy and each time you just replied with screen shots. Nothing more. Seen almost the entire concert in screen shots now. lol   I'll ask one more time, how does one go about getting a download link?   Thanks. 

    I am sorry, I also said I was hesitant about posting in the dowbload section, plus I am getting many requests. I will PM you!

    flawless editing! This will probably be the BEST version here

    I think it is yes. Also Japan. Would you like to see sceenshots from the Yoko show? It is almost ready. I wanted to finish Nice first because it was MUCH more difficult to do. The source of the Japan I have was so good that less pre-processing was needed. The version I have is one that I havent seen here in the download section. Less failed attempts to get the Yoko one looking very good.

    Damn that does look a whole lot better. The LD has a sort of hazy look to it.   Thanks for the screens.  How does one go about getting a copy, please?   :D     The dvd i have is a full dvd9 disc transfer of the LD and looks as good as the LD did basically. I would've been happy with that, but now Ive seen this......I can't sleep.  lol 

     

    P.S- ignore my unrelated username and profile pic. :p  When I tried to sign up, it just wouldn't accept anything I submitted. Kept saying, try again. So I had to sign in with my Gmail account instead.

    The images look stunning. You have obviously done a great deal of work to make the viewing of this iconic tour to be a much more pleasing experience than it already was. I look forward to possibly be able to see your great work xxx

    yes, a great deal of work is putting it mildly. I had to even color correct individual scenes and sometimes groups of frames, with davinci Resolve, this all needed to be done before Topaz AI, so I had to basically cut it to pieces and then overlay the audio, which I also worked on a great deal. But dont worry, its all 100% in synch, Madonna didnt take any part of the project. ? I look forward to fans response but I am a bit nervous too. To spend so much time, energy and failing so many times, before getting it this good, it would sting a bit if people disliked it. But its ok. Many sleepless nights and alot og money and patience. That is why I am a bit reluctant to post the Nice/Japan concerts in the video thread. I have gotten so many nasty comments before for being an obsessed loon with this tour. But my heart and soul went into this project. I feel like I created something extraordinary, yet I am terrified of negative feedback.
