1985-01-18 - Rio De Janeiro [Chief Mouse restoration]

It's fabulous! Thanks.

Very nice, thanks a lot! :)

Thank you, good job.

Why isn't there a D...no, only joking. This looks incredible, thank you so much for your continued hard work.

And an even bigger thank you for not bothering with a DVD. This way we can truly appreciate your restoration attempt.

What's your next project? :)

Not sure yet.

What do you reckon can be done with the 1st night?

Nothing much. It looks bad. Perhaps I would be able to do something with it but it wouldn't make it look much better.
I'll try out some things though. If there happens a miracle and I do manage to make it look good I will share it.

Wow! That's amazing!What software did you use to remove the flashing/flickering bright color lines? It looks so "smooth"! Congrats and thanks!

Anything Chief Mouse touches turns to gold - so I always look forward to his projects.

Thanks.

Mainly Avisynth + plus After Effects and Virtualdub for a few other specific things :)

It's the first time I've used After Effects for video improving and processing instead of VFX (VFX is what this software is originally meant for).

Thing with this video was that it has fine luma but messed up chroma (colours). I temporally processed chroma with Avisynth and Virtualdub but that affected luma as well and it didn't look the best at the end. So I thought "if only there was a way I could add chroma from this video onto the greyscale luma video". I found that After Effects can do just that with 'color overlay mode'.

Overall this video took many rendering passes (I forgot how many, lol). A couple of passes to fix the chroma flickering which was tricky. Another pass rendering the source video simply in greyscale so that I can get luma. Then I aligned the fixed chroma video with the luma video in After Effects (basically put only colour from one video on a b&w video). And another pass of overall enhancing through Avisynth and Virtualdub and the last pass simple encode with H.264 to MKV which I uploaded on this thread.

Hope some of this answers your question regarding softwares :-)

Thanks Chief Mouse for the restoration!

MERCI BEAUCOUP FANTASTICOOOOO

Thanks for another great video.

Maybe it's an idea to create a list, with links, of all the projects you've done so far.

Or post them in one topic wich can be updated.

Thanks for the idea. But I am not sure that would work because I like to write down some info and notes and post comparison pictures. It would be quite a huge thread which I am not sure I would be willing to update from time to time. For me easier it's just to create a new thread for each upload.

Your idea could be useful if I decide to make a thread with a list of links to threads of already uploaded videos. Is this what you meant?
