hey,
Was just looking into cleaning some monochrome 8mm film, and have a dumb question,
Now the transfer wasn't the best and there's a fair bit of chroma noise introduced, I cannot get another transfer as the film is gone, so I thought about using GREYSCALE But the description (to me) is rather technical, What I want to do is strip the chroma out, Kill it completely, I tried some Vdub filters but they only turned the chroma noise into greyscale, which of course is not what I want.
Would Tweak(sat=0) do it?
I'm thinking if the file has been converttoYV12() along the line then there is more 'information' to help with degrainers and other cleaners If i just left it as it is, would making it greyscale affect the way degrainers and others work with the noise?
Just to clarify, I know converttoYV12() won't invent any more data, That's impossible, but would the extra chroma info help clean it, Then i could Greyscale or rip out the chroma at the end of the cleaning?
Thanks
