Yes, so far I’ve found good frame rate conversion results with the re-time Speed Warp (better) setting in Resolve. I denoise before that, but add grain/texture after so that the texture is unique to each of the 24fps. Has anyone compared Speed Warp to TVAI’s 24p upscale option?

I really like the reduce compression feature of Topaz Video AI. Based on this, I finally have taken a look at it's trial version. I have and like Neat Video NR, but I may splurge on TVAI to help reduce compression artifacting. Even with 0Dan0's work in improving and optimizing the bitrate via...

I'm finally starting some test scans utilizing the v6.6 Manual User Controlled White Balance setting to determine the best setting for my old films (8mm from 1950s & 1960s. I have a couple of observations that relate to @omega's statement above about +2 not being enough: With 3 brief tests (WB...

I have had such skipping and sounds on film that shrunk over the decades and doesn't align well with the advancing mechanism. Not sure that it is a defect in the Kodak.

Can you share sample video footage that displays the issue? I've had some older film that is warped/cupped to the point where the sprockets are not properly distanced and the pin is having a hard time advancing the film properly, requiring me to manually "pull" the film through and hope that...

Agreeing with Gewendell, that this recent FW takes the work into a whole new exciting direction. Thanks for all your time and energy putting into this, and then to share it with us all! I love being able to dial in a custom white balance. The more color adjustment can be done do the sensor data...

These recent updates are phenomenal, 0dan0! Addressing the frame stutter issue is going to be super helpful and a big time-saver. Previously when I got jumpy results, I had to go back and re-scan the full or partial reel and just hope that the next scan somehow avoided the stutter. As I begin...

Fun to read and see what you've been up to over these recent months. I love the clarity in your fresh footage, especially with the new lens. Looking forward to whatever advancements you and the community can make with regard to user-adjustable settings. I wonder if the frame rate (16, 18, 24) is...

That's interesting about the rolling shutter artifact on the bottom of the frame, when I've only experienced on the top of the frame (and only occasionally). Your explanation about why it's more pronounced (now after a lens swap) makes perfect sense, but I still can't figure out the reason for...

I’ve purchased leader, press tape, Film Renew and other supplies from Larry Urbanski: https://urbanskifilm.com/supplies.html Definitely recommended.

Good to have the confirmation on the behavior, thanks. I believe on my previous B Unit (with Mac84's firmware) I was able to use an ExFAT 64GB card for captures without issue, although the firmware update process did seem to need the FAT32.

@0dan0, one new bit of feedback for you on your v5.7 firmware. It seemed to not be saving the MP4 file to the SD Card when the card was formatted ExFat. The only indication that it had not been saving on the ExFat formatted SD card was after I had (seemingly) captured a full 3" reel, I opened...

This morning I loaded and tested this v5.7 firmware on my new "Firmware C compatible" Reels (serial K3124148BK...) and it works great. Obviously with a stock lens, the improvement over my previous captures (using a 1920x1440 17Mb/s firmware) is limited, but there is absolutely noticeable...

@Pascal1972, specifically which firmware are you attempting to update to? You mentioned firmware C, but didn't share which numbered "version" (from 0dan0) or "option" (from Mac84 and team) you are using.

I agree with this, as I’ve had the same issue on several of my scans (20fps). Assumed it was timing issue with motor and camera firing; not sure how to prevent it.
