Just read about some new pro tools beginning offered to the public. For people just beginning, on a limited budget or who are no good with AVIsynth (like me), there are some great things out there.

The first is not newly release but I still highly recommend it. If you need to color correct, Blackmagic's Davinci Resolve Lite is one of the best programs you can use. It recently moved to version 12:

They also just released a copy of their VFX software Fusion for free:

Fusion may not be 100% useful for project makers here but when it was released it forced the Foundry to make a non-commercial version of Nuke. Besides being great for VFX work, Nuke contains a whole host of tools for moving, arranging and fixing images:

here are some nice video guides of what it can do:

Both programs can do limited editing but are no where near the level of a pro NLE, like Premiere, Final Cut or the big boy Avid. What's nice is later this year Avid will release a stripped down, free version of their Composer software called, Avid Media Composer First:

The details are still sketchy at this time but it the release offers half what the full software does, this will be a great program.

Pretty much all of these are locked into the 1080p world opposed to 4K. But when you put them all together you can achieve some great results.

Hi, can anyone here do a bit-perfect digital rip capture of the 1990 Fantasia LD?

I think this is the best source for the original soundtrack with Deems Taylor's narration. It won't sync up with the more recent DVD and Blu-Ray releases, however it still would be good to preserve.

Thanks.

Well, as a lot of you must know, the theatrical release of "Dracula" of John Badham had fantastic live colors although Badham wanted to film in b/w.

The first Laserdisk release had the theatrical color.

But, in theory due to the pressures of the director, all subsequent editions including DVD and BD, were modified by attenuating the colors.

Well, my request is to recover the orginal colors from the first edition of Laserdisk or some copy of 8mm (there exist).

I'm a spanish fan of the cinema in general, and 80 fantasy/horror/fantastic in particular.

I have a big collection of originals DVD and BD (near of 3.000) but in my country, Spain, many films hot have their own edition or one very poor quality edition.

So, I love the custom editions made by fans

I belive that is an amazing work.

Greetings.

Been distracted with things elsewhere, but I'm finally here now.

Tired of searching on lddb every time you need to know something about a Star Wars laserdisc?

I thought to gather all Star Wars laserdisc releases in one place; hope you'll find it useful!

Hello everyone from FanRes.com, my name is Ben Roderick and I've always interested of doing a filmic look on animated TV shows like an anime show or a traditionally Western animated show. So, that's why I'm doing a proposal to show you my color grade of these animated TV shows.

What I do is to rip from any promo or bumper from an action animated block called Toonami and I converted these videos by using Freemake Video Converter (1080p!), then I do some video shaders from one of the popular video players: MPC-HC (Media Player Classic - Home Cinema) and do a codec filter called ffdshow by fully modifying the video and then I save an image from one of my videos and then I go to the Adobe Photoshop and I use an adjustment to making it an filmic approach to any anime or Western animated show.

Let me show you an example and I hope you will understand:

Pretty cool, huh? This is why I called "inspiration" because of you guys who been doing these good transfers from any movie to make any DVD/BD transfer better.

@ Ben Roderick

P.S. Is this proposal against the rules? Please tell me!

a few month ago the movie was aired on german tv in it's uncut version,
which is not available on home video anywhere. the movie was shown in sd and hd,
though i believe the hd version just an upconvert. anyway, i've captured both streams  :cool:  
now i wondered if we can create a version without a logo and with english audio.

what ya say?
