That was cool, thanks! :)

Sound is a bit ahead of the picture though. Maybe 2 or 3 frames.

I love that series! When the pandemic broke I thought "I am living out Survivors". Fortunately ours was not nearly as bad as theirs, but all the same it was incredibly prescient.

Well I think there's some crossover yes. It was the only other British cultural phenomenon that outlasted the Sixties. And besides I think most of us who like The Beatles are also prone to liking The Monkees, Star Trek, The Three Stooges and all the other relics of the past that refused to die. I always felt I was born a generation too late. I had nothing in common with most of my peers, everything I found cool was from 10 or 20 years before.

Not always the best at syncing video to audio, my bad.

question for you, regarding Drop In. Have you heard the official apple remix of 'She Loves You' performance on Drop In, it was included on 1+, what is your opinion of this remix? Thanks!

I don't remember it at all but it was pre-demixing so they probably just added some stereo reverb.

I took a stab at seeing if could improve the video quality using the usual enhancement tools of the day. Some parts I like a lot, and others... I'd love to have endless time to tweak and retweak and re-retweak to make them look great. But, then again, that's everything, right? If you're interested, feel free a have a look (until the links expire on March 29)

Not bad at all, I think its a tad too "soft" but still would rather watch then then the average source.

Thanks for the feedback. I agree with you. I posted a 2nd version on my above post with boosted contrast. Perhaps it helped a little.
