I do film restoration for a living. Your transfer is excellent and the dirt removal and motion stabilization are well done. However, your color grading and gamma adjustment need work. You are blowing out highlights, yet not gaining the shadows properly. You NEVER use the contrast control in your editor. Also, you want to reduce the red color cast that is typical of old color film, but you don't want to push the controls so far that you end up with a blue/green cast instead.

Thank you for watching our video.

great work! thanks for posting

This is the oldest film that we processed. Given the age, it held pretty well because it was well kept. Thanks for watching our sample.

@miniroll32 Some motion stabilization software zooms the picture slightly to remove black borders resulting from shifting the image. The software I use does this. However, my capture projector has an enlarged gate which lets me capture the film edge-to-edge, including the sprocket holes. Since gate weave motion is small, the result is that same as what was projected in the first place. Deshaker can synthesize new borders. I don't use this for film, but Google my name and Deshaker for more info.

@johnmeyer77 - Brilliant thanks for that! So when you see film restorations and the frames are perfectly aligned, does that mean that they're actually losing information on the edges of the frame, just to keep them centre?

[johnmeyer77]

@miniroll32 The "judder" is called gate weave and is caused by each frame of film coming to rest in the film gate at a different place than the adjacent frames. This happens BOTH in the camera and the projector. Thus, even using a transfer system that doesn't involve a projector (e.g., Rank Cintel scanner), you will have gate weave. However, you can use motion stabilization software to remove this gate weave, and most modern digital restoration does remove gate weave.

@johnmeyer77 - Hi there, can I ask a question? I've noticed with old films that the screen appears to 'judder' left and right/up and down like as if its going through a question, so if a film is restored properly, would the judder be none existent? Would every frame line up perfectly like digital video? Thanks!

If I want my real 8mm reels to be converted I DON'T want any improvements. The reel image should be an exact copy of the original reel, with all dust, lines and faded colors! Call me stupid but I like the feel of an old movie.

@filmorvideo It's hard to judge with such a small image, but there looks to be a heavy hand on the 'edge enhancement' control. I'm seeing outlines around objects that do not exist in real life. Sometimes a little bit soft is better than over-sharpened.

Otherwise, a nice job.
