It's rather obvious during credits and fades to black, especially when comparing before and after. So can anybody explain to me how to retain the original master black level while keeping the color correction I applied using a LUT?
Thanks.]]> When using a LUT in DaVinci Resolve, sometimes I get a dark grey shade of black instead of the deep black level of the original master I'm working on.

I happened upon a YouTube upload of an old kung fu movie that's stuck in rights hell. The movie has had DVD releases but in either full screen or cropped widescreen. The YouTube upload is a Japanese VHS that's actually wider than the UK DVD. It may be OAR or at least the closest to it.

YouTube makes it harder to contact uploaders, so in lieu of somehow arranging a higher quality source to work from or trying to find an original copy of the tape, is it worth working with a YouTube rip?

For what it's worth, the letterboxed DVD of this one did get a well done fan restoration/upscale. It looks quite nice, but I'd be lying if I didn't say it'd be nice to see the movie in a less cropped state.

Appreciate any feedback or thoughts.]]>

Would like to add this effect to the whole film of It’s a Mad Mad Mad World, like the trailer for it on Youtube:

I'm getting ready to convert some custom subs for The Fighting Seabees so I can mux it and burn a disc.
I realized the software I've been using is PunkGraphcStream from 2010 and there hasn't been any updates since then.]]>

All other functions work perfectly and if there's a disc in there it will play normally-just never come out again. I've dug around and seen others with the same problem. It's apparently the drive or belt under the disc tray that goes bad and can be repaired....but I can't remove the tray inside because of this one darn ribbon cable attaching it.

Has anyone dealt with Panasonic player repair or UHD player quirks like this? I really don't want to send this off to the third party repair shop or buy another one I can't currently afford. This is becoming a more prevalent and known issue which is super infuriating.]]> The player powers up and the tray will retract if open but never open on its own.

My current PC build is getting on a bit now, I think about 9 years. i74770K, 32GB RAM, GTX770 4GB.

As I've been out of the loop on new PC stuff for a while I'm not sure what everyone is using these days. I've been watching some YT videos and there is a lot of conflicting information. Intel vs AMD, DDR5 or DDR5, etc.

I'll be using mostly Adobe Suite, Premiere, and AE.

I'm also going to need a new monitor since my current one is only 1080p. Used for colour correction and playback.

I'm not looking for a budget option, this thing will be with me for a while, so I don't want to cheap out on it. I also don't want to waste money on the latest parts just for a couple of percent performance increase.

Interested to hear what others are using and opinions on where is best to spend the money for our specific hobby. I'm not looking to make a gaming PC.

Cheers everyone.]]>

I've a project for a new trailer restoration in mind, but one scene has text overlay. This would make using the scene not possible, unless text removal has been gotten better, especially text on faces.

I hope someone can help here.

Thanks]]>

Alternatively does anyone here speak German and want to translate an entire film for me?  ]]> Are there any good AI models that can generate subtitles based off an audio track? That would be a helpful start in creating an English friendly release.
