Outlaw of Gor (1988) GaryInMotion Treatment (for the Archive)
#1
SO... thank you RowsdowerRevenge for the DVD quality version of Outlaw of Gor!

So.. while it was a decent 16:9 format at low Rez that was recorded from what appeared to be VHS... I was able to cut up the segments of the video and wash it through iMovie to get a better brightness and contrast with the different scenes... I also reset the white point and skin tones in several scenes to lighten up the darker scenes while keeping the desert and other outdoor scenes normal without looking totally washed out. I also scaled back a bit on the color saturation as VHS colors tend to bleed... so that may help in the ‘crispness’ of the new edit. It’s now in Topaz with a very low AI filter to clean up the grain and sharpen the edges. We’ll see what it looks like in about 18 hours. After that, I’ll throw it back into iMovie for the audio syncing.  Once syncing is complete, I’ll throw it into Handbrake to compress it into .H265 and add the subtitles. I’ll try to keep the final product under 2 gigs. 

For those of you about to bash iMovie, I spoke at length with a professional photographer buddy of mine that also does video... he mentioned that while iMovie does not have some of the details that Premiere has, it’s currently far more powerful that it’s predecessors and for what I’m doing with old movies... it’s actually a perfect match.

I'm working on some heavily improved subtitles btw. almost done and would love to share!

also, if it helps for comparison purposes, etc, I have a pretty solid-looking web-dl copy from TubiTV in fullscreen/open matte. predates the recent bluray, but at the time it was dubbed 'probably the best copy of this film you'll ever see':

Some of these changes are quite dramatic. GaryInMotion did do picture editing along with putting in his audio content, so the work you are doing is appropriate.

here are the new improved english subtitles. it'll need the same cuts as the video file; should be pretty easy, but if you like, you can send me the timing info for the cuts in the MST3K version of the film and I can make those edits and reupload.

The fact that y'all are keeping his work alive totally rules. Thanks so much for doing this.

here are some improved subtitle files; both in English, but one explains the Gorean terms borrowed from the books, identifies the main characters on introduction, and is a bit friendlier to those who are hard of hearing (or who are listening to riffing). the other file is more standardized.

Thanks for doing the subs. We really should strive to include subs in all our releases for our hard of hearing brothers and sisters
