Hey everyone. For my second AMV project I'm making an experiment vid using Outlaw Star (not to be released most likely) to play around with things like lip sync and effects, but afterward I'm going to make a real video using the same ripped footage. I've gotten my clips to look pretty good, but there is some really annoying dot crawl still, most noticeable around lips, which is a big problem as learning lip syncing is one of the goals. If anyone has experience cleaning up this anime, your help/opinions would be appreciated.
I only just learned to use AviSynth a few days ago, but it helped tremendously for cleaning up the source material for my first AMV (Final Fantasy 9, not released quite yet). I've tried using Checkmate(), Tcomb(), and Dedot() according to the post-production guide here: http://www.animemusicvideos.org/guides/ ... l#dotcrawl
None of these really worked for the dot crawl I'm seeing unless you cranked them way up (like using 999 on Checkmate), but that obviously causes more problems than it solves.
If anyone else has ripped Outlaw Star footage, you can see the dot crawl specifically on ***first episode spoiler*** Hilda's lips when she's talking to Jim on the phone in disguise. ***end spoiler***. It's kind of slight in this example, but it persists throughout the series, better or worse in different scenes.
Here is my script for the moment, and it does a pretty good job for everything else, but I'm not opposed to changing it, even completely. I'm new, so all good advice is welcome. Thanks in advance.
