The second trailer for Top Gun: Maverick (2020) arrived a few days ago, and I am really happy to have it available for you to enjoy. And it is a fantastic trailer, especially the versions with the IMAX 1.89 aspect ratio. Not only is it IMAX, it is 4K as well (4096×2160). You may notice that this is labeled as an “Unofficial Mix” and that is because the audio was sourced from the IMAX version, which officially only has a 5.0 track (no LFE). This is unofficial because I added a LFE track. I encoded a 2K version as well preserving the aspect ratio for those whose system would benefit from it. There is also the 1920×1080 widescreen versions as well.

I know I mentioned that there would be a 4K Black Widow trailer coming soon. I am working on it, but I have run out of time and will be hitting the road for the holidays. I will poke along at it, but I don’t plan on posting until I return in 2020. Thank you for visiting and supporting this site. See you next year.

A few months ago, I uploaded the first trailer for Tenet, and 6 days later received a notification from Warner Bros. that I was unauthorized to use the materials and was infringing upon their intellectual property rights. At that time, the teaser was only available in theatres and was not released online. This time, Trailer 2 has been released online so I don’t expect any harsh notifications from the studio.

I know that in my facebook post I said I would have this up on Friday, and I almost did. When I finished the 1080p trailers I received the 4K version. So instead of doing two posts I decided to just do one with everything included. There are a few different things with Tenet Trailer 2. The first is that the 1080p version has an aspect ratio of 2.19:1 (1920×876) which is a bit unusual. The 4K versions have a 2.40:1 aspect ratio (4096×1716).

The audio on the 1080p and 4K versions are different. Both are official 5.1 mixes, but the tracks looked to have their polarity (not phase) inverted. This happens sometimes and I do not know what the impact really is on the overall experience. The other difference is the levels are higher on the 4K. Both versions have distortion sounds in the second half of the trailer. This is the way it is supposed to be. Personally, I would not make the choice to deliberately distort audio but that is an artistic choice that I feel many would just assume to be a flaw.

All of the encodes have some banding that is particularly noticeable in one shot. There was very little I could do to eliminate it and it even appeared in the ProRes master. The 80Mbps version is the closest to the master.

The different versions available are listed below:

The earlier post for ‘No Time To Die’ (2020) had an official stereo mix, and a DTS:Neural Up-Mix. This post has versions using a foreign language 5.1 track edited to English. I realize that English is foreign to many of you, but to me English is my first language and 007’s a well! So, this is an unofficial 5.1 mix. If you still prefer an official mix, the official stereo is just a few posts down…

I obtained an official foreign language 4K version of Wonder Woman 1984. Since it is a foreign language version, I had to switch the text elements for up-scaled English versions. The end result is 4096×1716, which is the theatrical DCI compliant image size. As I mentioned in my reply to a comment on the original WW84 post, this took many hours to decode, edit, encode, proof, fix, encode, proof, upload, etc. But I do it not for the few dollars received from advertising but because I want people who care about having the best video and audio quality to have it.

If you have been a follower of this site for a while you will know that I have had mixed results with H.265 HEVC. On Black Friday I took advantage of the discount on Adobe Creative Cloud and now have the Adobe Media Encoder which allows for encoding in H.265. So, I have encoded the 4K Wonder Woman 1984 trailer using the HEVC codec supplied with Adobe Media Encoder. I am able to play it back and it doesn’t freeze my system, so I take that as a good sign, however I would appreciate feedback on the quality or performance of the H.265 encode. The links are below:

2020 will see another kick at rebooting the Ghostbusters franchise with ‘Ghostbusters: Afterlife’. This time around there is a group of youngsters who discover a previously unknown connection to the original Ghostbusters of the 1980’s. Aside from cool tech, I think western civilization peaked in the 1980’s. Feel free to argue that point. For trailer 1 I did not have an official 5.1 mix, so I did put together a DTS:Neural upmix. I am also including the official stereo if that is your preference.

Confession: I have yet to watch Batman vs. Superman: Dawn of Justice and Justice League. But I did see Wonder Woman (2017) and I liked it quite a lot. I was thinking about giving it another screening in my home theater just the other day. The highly anticipated sequel, Wonder Woman 1984 (2020) is due in June and the first trailer has been released. And like Free Guy, this one is the official studio 5.1 mix.

What happens when a bank teller who looks like Ryan Reynolds discovers that he is actually inside some crazy video game? Well, in July go see Free Guy (2020) and you will find out. If you don’t want to wait that long you can check out the trailer here. I am happy to say that this is the official studio 5.1 mix.

For a long time I have been a big fan of James Bond, but SPECTRE (2015) just didn’t do it for me. It feels like the Craig years have been up and down. I loved Casino Royale (2006) – was it really that long ago? and hated, absolutely hated Quantum of Solace (2008). However, Quantum has grown on me over the years. Skyfall (2012) was absolutely fantastic. It ended with hope for the franchise moving forward as we have M, Moneypenny, and 007 in an oh so familiar office as Bond quips of his eagerness to get back to work “with pleasure, M. With pleasure” and the sound of the James Bond theme fills the theatre and everything is wonderful. A lot of folks wanted Christopher Nolan at the helm, and honestly I think he would make a killer Bond film, but Skyfall had Sam Mendes and he didn’t disappoint. Until he did…with Spectre. No Time To Die is directed by Cary Joji Fukunaga, whom I have no knowledge of his previous works. So, let’s hope that we can get back on the right foot, but somehow I feel like Bond’s best days are behind him.

I put together an up-mix using DTS:Neural up-mixer and also there are official stereo versions available. I expect that a 5.1 mix will be available in the near future.

It is so nice to see that Marvel Studios logo again… Set between “Captain America: Civil War” and “Avengers: Infinity War”, Black Widow arrives in theaters on May 1, 2020. Unfortunately, I do not have an official 5.1 mix yet. Disney is still only providing stereo tracks. I reached out to them and was told that they would only provide stereo going forward. However, a 5.1 mix will turn up – likely later in the week. In the meantime, I have a DTS:Neural Up-Mix as well as official stereo encodes for you to enjoy. The links are blow.

Looking for the trailer for the new Scooby-Doo movie, Scoob!? Well, look no further. I have an unofficial mix derived from an official 5.1 foreign language version. For those who would rather go with an official mix, the stereo is also provided. Scoob! stars Kiersey Clemons, Zac Efron, Mark Wahlberg and will hit theaters in May 2020.
