Here's the best version I've been able to assemble.

It's a combination of several sources. It includes part of the official YT Livestream, MetalNacional's incomplete rip from GloboPlay/MultiShow, and very small snippets of crowd audio from Papercut and Faint uploaded by rfsk_bass (https://www.youtube.com/@rfsk_bass). It also uses a very small snippet of the studio recording of Resolution Intro A.

What I've done:

• Adjusted and levelled audio as well as I can, on a per-track basis. I can't recover audio that was lost due to stream compression, or bad levelling, but it should be a little more consistent throughout.
• Synced audio.
• Cropped to a native 21:9 resolution -- no hard-coded black bars at the top and bottom of the screen.
• Cut out and replaced cutaway segments where the Brazilian host Titi Müller speaks over the concert.

Removing the talking segments was probably the decision I went back and forth on most. First, I know some people will want to archive it as broadcast (but we have those already) or will disagree for other reasons, but I think this gives us as close to a "DVD release" experience as we're going to get this video of the theatrical release. However, full transparency, It required use of a small segment of the studio recording of Resolution Intro A, overlayed on top of authentic crowd audio from rfsk_bass, which is low in the mix. 

 

I chose this over just using the rfsk_bass audio, as it gives a much more seamless and consistent result, and I don't feel this compromises the integrity of the show, since even in the stadium, they are just playing the same prerecorded audio at this point.

 

It also results in the loss of about 30 seconds of footage between the end of act 4 and the encore where the camera cut to her full frame. I've also used some looped crowd audio from elsewhere in the broadcast, and one short recycled aerial shot during this segment, and during the band leaving after the encore, but I think this captures the feel of being there, even if it's not 100% as live.

What's still to do?

No guarantees at this point but, if I get the chance, I would still like to:

• Incorporate any audio or video from berd's rip, if it is better. Seems like the stream may have dynamically changed up the bitrate of the audio and video on different people's rips at different times, so this may help improve the audio further.
• Do a proper mastering of the audio, not just levelling, if at all possible, potentially even adding some crowd audio from other fan uploads low in the mix to try and bring things to life a little more.
• Remove the Ao Vivo text in the top left corner, and the small remnants of the purple "track title" lower third graphic that comes up from time to time along the bottom. I tried a quick ai "object removal" in DaVinci resolve, but the clip is way too long, the tracking got messy, and the results were more distracting than just leaving it. I'd have to do a more manual mask and removal, or chop it up into smaller clips for the ai object removal to work well, which was a bigger job than I had time for. 
• Do a shot by shot upscale and clean up using Topaz Video AI -- but again, more time than I had. 
• Export in ProRes and do the H.265 conversion in Handbrake, as Davinci Resolve's H.265 encoder is notoriously bad, and I'm already working with pretty compressed footage to begin with. Re-encoding already compressed footage always results in a loss of quality. It's fine, but I'm pretty sure HandBrake would have given a smaller file, and better quality. But I didn't have enough space to finish the ProRes export on my laptop, and my video editing desktop is in my basement, which I can't get to due to a foot injury.

No promises on if, or when those things happen. But if they do, I can share here.

thank you very much, this is awesome!

I'm running @LukeHB's mov file through handbrake doing an h265 encode with named chapters for myself, and I'll share the file here too when It's done if anyone else wants it.

[lunalovesmuch]

That'd be amazing if you could share that!

[Ahfack]

Sure thing! The file is done, 3.12GB, i left the audio untouched at 320kpbs, although I think the highest it goes is 296kbps.

 

I'll upload it after I secure my From Zero LPU tickets here in 38min

This is w/ Sync áudio ?

[LPLStaff]

The mix on the band's YouTube stream was so much better than the TV broadcast.

 

The theater release is going to be amazing. Then they'll probably sell it.

Yes it's good and H265 mp4 so you can direct stream it to compatible devices without transcoding which is nice

I would buy a bluray of this for sure!

Sim, é bom e H265 mp4 para que você possa transmiti-lo diretamente para dispositivos compatíveis sem transcodificação, o que é bom

 

 

 

Eu compraria um bluray disso com certeza!

THX bro

O lançamento no cinema vai ser incrível. Então eles provavelmente vão vender.
