Re: [REL] L 'Adolescente (1979)
I was able to open the video direct into Virtual Dub to test my theory.
While it improves the chroma bleed on the shirt, it causes issues on the left where chroma is being "removed". Maybe there's some way to mask it to keep the chroma on the left on another layer? Maybe, but I'm not that clever!

here's a before and after:[Image]
Re: [REL] L 'Adolescente (1979)
Thanks David, I already did some color corrections with Adobe Premiere using the Colorista IV plugin from Red Giant. Colors were hard to fix, because the highlights in the VHS-Rip were much to strong and some other issues. The VHS filter you are using seems to do a good job. If you wanna do it, please do it. I've just don't have the time to re-do the movie.

Re: [REL] L 'Adolescente (1979)
I had a crazy way of fixing the chroma shift. Save the video twice!
Drop both streams into a Freeware video editor like Shotcut that allows for simple masks. Have 2 streams of the film. Keep the left 9 pixels in layer one. Keep the right 593 pixels (if 600 wide) in layer 2. That way you can fix the chroma shift AND keep the chroma on the left!

Re: [REL] L 'Adolescente (1979)
Here's another before/after.
I just don't like working with already compressed video files as there's going to be some degradation.
If you'd made a 5gb very low compression file I'd be happier
Here's another before/after of the chroma shift in action. I'm thinking 8 pixels to the right is about right ?
Oh - and look at the blue bleed over her hand in the before vs after! She's got a funny coloured thumb in the before!
Ok - I'm going to try my Shotcut idea - but don't know if it'll cope with opening 2x 180gb uncompressed avi's - it might choke!!!

It's ok! I'll save as a very high quality mp4 - like 2gb.ghost wrote:I'm sorry, I don't have the images sequence anymore. Already deletedIf you'd made a 5gb very low compression file I'd be happier
You just keep churning out the upscales I'll shift the colours over Never thought I could improve on a Ghost video... but hey, it might not work... watch this space!

Re: [REL] L 'Adolescente (1979)
... it's working! I tested it with a 30second sequence from above and the result was perfect!
I made a 12x576 pixel virtualdub export of the original video's left strip to preserve the colour and put that as a 2nd layer in Shotcut over the chroma shifted video and render out the final video.
I'll then multiplex the audio back in.
I'm also going to crop out your black bars - less uncompressed video to pass through VirtualDub and Shotcut - we're talking 250gb vs 180gb!

Re: [REL] L 'Adolescente (1979)
Oh - *ucking hell - something even cleverer!!!
That bad frame I told you about at 4m53 into the film. I can make a clean frame by photoshopping the bad shit out - and having 1 frame appear for 1 frame as a video layer over the top! Kill 2 birds with 1 stone! Haha!
I'll see if there's those black spots where reels change - I could photoshop those out on the individual frames too. Even do dirt/scratch repair if I see any
Speaking of editing individual frames - maybe I should do a David Fincher and flashframe some pawn in there ... he did that in Fight Club! I'm not sure if more recent releases have been made to edit it out... I'm sure Wiki would say.

Re: [REL] L 'Adolescente (1979)
I'll be removing this frame below! Looks like a bit of damaged VHS!
Photoshopping it in from the frame before.
Let me know of any other H:MM:SS issues in the film and i'll try and fix them
