K1 Cutscenes Rescaled 1.5.1

I took the copies of the earlier versions you uploaded, downres'd then to 1920 wide, letterboxed to 1080 high, and upped the framerate to 60fps. My older 29.97fps videos that I had upscaled myself several years ago were running super choppy with the game running at 60fps on a 120hz monitor. It's working well so far, 19-odd hours into my current playthrough. So I'd suggest offering a 60fps version might be useful to people. Although I discovered that the game would crash when mixing videos of different framerates, so it's an all or nothing thing.

Remade the star wars crawl in video 01a

Is that still the same version as the one you uploaded before? I noticed the crawl pops in suddenly in the version I have rather than scrolling in from the bottom of the frame.

I'm curious how you did that btw. Did you just grab the few frames of empty space after the original crawl faded out and duplicate them to give you a clean background to create the new crawl on?

"nosubs" removes subtitles from videos 02-09-31a-50-56b

That's appreciated. I can add new subs to the letterboxing in my local version. Edit: Ah, I see you included letterboxed versions. Nice.

I noticed the issue with the 01a video before uploading so the pop in should be fixed in this version. I did however notice just now there is still something off with the timing of the crawl, making a new version asap. And jep, that's exactly how I did it, it's basically a freeze of the empty space scene before the camera starts moving.

I'll look into a 60fps version, was a bit worried about the extra artifacts it would introduce.

A 1920x1080 option would be nice!

Definitely doable! Wasn't sure what resolutions people would want at first, but I'll spin up the renders for a 1080p version tonight.

Any chance for a 2560x1440 version?

Looks amazing! Much improved over the vanilla cutscenes.

I used the KotOR 1 Remastered (AI Upscaled) Cutscenes 1.1 mod before this one, and after comparing both works I personally prefer yours. The cutscenes are just sharper and you can see much more details. Excellent work!

I just attempted to archive these cinematics on YouTube so people can view them from there, and to fix the audio sync errors on a few of them (especially Assault on the Star Forge), but my PC doesn't have NEARLY enough storage space, and my editing software can't handle the files without lagging. Can anyone else manage it?

The k1rs_60fps_3440x1440 file doesn't seem to work properyl i get a black screen, but 30fps one does for me

That's odd, is your screen refresh rate set to 60hz? I'll look into this and see if I can replicate the issue.

Hey! These cutscenes are awesome. I also ran into a similar issue with the 3440x1440 60fps cutscenes when getting the game going on Linux.

With some cutscenes everything is fine (the alt legal.bik works) but some of them have issues, 01a is a good example.

I poked into VLC to see what was up and noticed that the vertical resolution is slightly off. I vaguely remember there being issues back in the day when the hexedited value for a larger cutscene resolution didn't match what was being played and the behaviour I saw is similar to that

See the video and buffer resolution in the 60fps movie file:


Comparing this to the same movie in 30fps version:
 

The reason that the alt legal movie works is that it has the correct resolution:



So unfortunately it looks like the 60fps videos need to be trimmed by a tad 😅

Ow! Good catch! Looking into this asap.

There is an issue with the intro cutscene in the 4k version as well. The game freezes when I have the version from this mod but is fixed when I use it from Naevelok's.

Figured out what went wrong. Re-encoding them and will upload new versions when done!

Are you running into issues with the 60fps or 30fps version?

60 FPS.
