Bat-Fan

Hoping you are doing ok Bat-Fan. Haven't seen or heard from you on this forum in a while
 

I am curious to see it, I will test it on my tv  

Can’t wait to see it! The screenshots looked amazing ❤️

Thank you so much, I'm so freaking excited about this 

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

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 

That's what I'm thinking too! Outstanding work. 

wow that looks amazing! I would love to download it! I hope you post some link. great work 

Any link yet?

This looks beautiful, can't wait to see it ! 

Can't wait to see this and take no notice of the nay sayers 

Amazing job!
I can't wait to see the final result
 

links to both shows are coming soon. However I am still not sure if I want to post the links in the video section here, because I dont want a certain member to make fun of my 4 months of hard work, and he will 100% do just that and I am not up for any more drama. Of cource I can send you the links after I upload them, via PM? If you want a physical copy, I have a pro printer (also prints the discs) and I  can make the physicals and send you for free. Not doing this to profit, but not to be made fun of either. Mostly I did it because I REALLY wanted to. But I will share with anyone who is interested.

They can release and extended version of Truth or Dare.. With all the songs filmed without edit like "Express Yourself" (I can't believe they cut the iconic kick from the film.) ? 
Some frame from the trailer that were cut from the film looks amazing! ? 
 

What have we seen on which shelves?
Also tapes are pretty useless cause you can only get DVD transfers from them and a lot of detail is lost. In order to get it in HD it needs to be transferred from film.

Hopefully the tours will be part of this reissue campaign. It makes sense for them to reintroduce her legacy as a live act as well.

Thanks for that, I had a similar thought but wasn't sure, as I always thought it would be a nightmare to stop and start all the time.
On top of that, Toby Phillips talks about changing the lighting for the show. You can tell from the B Roll and even the bootleg that the colours are more saturated and the stage is nowhere near as brightly lit as normal and that is for all numbers. Why go to all the trouble of changing the entire shows lighting to only film certain numbers. Especially when M raised concerns about the audience being able to see the show. 

Oh gosh, if she had her way it'd be Paris/Houston/Nice/New Jersey/Barcelona/Japan with studio vocals, filters, quick cuts, random B/W during "Causing a Commotion" and the ponytail/curls changing every few secs. 

That was amazing. For sure the very best versions of both Nice and Yokohama. I am very impressed. An official release would look bad compared to what you have created.
 

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.

It's out. Link is in "Videos". I was finally happy with the results, Each show is in 1080p and 2160p. I hope you like it.
 

yes.  I hope you enjoy.

But Bat-Fan says all of Paris was filmed, either on video or film. Is he wrong?

What? There's no itunes?
