Vimeo does better. This is a very demanding Tri-X negative scan Even Vimeo takes the source 252MByte 1600x1200 file down to 44MBytes for 1080.

Youtube is really bad with HD resolution sources. So I upscale from 1600x1200 to 3840x2160 with pillar-boxing, the compression is a lot better, just will Premiere (no Topaz.) My most recent reels:

I'm still working in this. I did a short film with some Super8 elements, so I've been enhancing beyond v6.7. Hopefully get the version out in a week or so.

6.0 just has the longer exposure, which caused more jitter for me, so there some hardware dependency. I will try to make the exposure delay controllable. You are getting decent color from your negative stock, whereas I've not liked my vision3 scans so far. I've yet to find the color matrix...

@rdesros Topaz does a good job for noise reduction and grain removal while preserving sharpness and details. This is the approach I initially thought I would go, but I like the grain, which lead to all the lens and firmware hacks to preserve as much as possible. Seems you might have some dirt...

I never encountered film that blue, and I was guessing what WB values might be useful. I'm away from any scanners at the moment. And the table of histogram values are compiled C code, making remote debugging more tricky, but I think I found the RGB gain for WB 2.0. 0x1c0 - 1.75 0x140 - 1.25...

If there is a relationship between compression and the jitter, it would only be compression size of the first few frames. As I've noticed that once the jitter starts is it always there, which which why I found setting the short shutter helpful (like it moves the jitter out of frame.) You can...

White balance is now adjustable in the 6.6 version. Just go to the where you adjust sharpness and there is a white balance control now.

There seems to be large unit-to-unit variations, seems that mechanically the cam for the film movement is not tightly in sync with the firmware. The frame jitter, if I get it, is at the top of the frame. This means the capture started while frame was loading into place. The rolling shutter of...

As there are dashcam origins to the camera and compression tech used, it uses at pretty command 15 frame GOP.

6.6 has a user controllable white-balance added to the menu, so you can set the look more as you need (5.8 was a fixed WB with aggressive red gain 1.75,1,1.)

I tried about 10 lenses, mostly cheap 12-16mm lenses, and optically the this range would provide a better crop. However, all the other lenses failed to achieve a near focus. So what is needed is a macro lens, designed for a short focus distance. Macro lens are generally wider, a 12mm macro in...

I never ordered additional screws. I just use two on the lower level, and two on the upper.

This is not how resolution works. The sensor has maximum of resolution of 2304x1296 (Datasheet - https://files.niemo.de/aptina_pdfs/AR0330_Data_Sheet.pdf ) the encoder has a maximum resolution of 1920x1440. But the stock firmware (even bit-rate enhanced) only let you view the middle ~600x400...

Have you found this for Reels scanners?
