Iain Petrie | Quick test with DeOldify Colourising tool, comparing render settings @IKP1000 | Uploaded May 2020 | Updated October 2024, 10 hours ago.
This is a short 9.5mm B&W film of my nephews, shot with a hand cranked 1923 Pathe Baby camera, and also a brief clip at the end, shot with a different Pathe Baby with the camo motordrive attachment, bucket developed in my shed (9point5mm.blogspot.com/2020/01/christmas-day-testing-with-pathe-baby.html). The film is long expired 1960s stock which is very grainy. The colourising was done with the superb free DeOldify with 3 different render settings. Higher setting work better on good quality video, but with low quality film, such as this, lower setting work better, it seems. Top left was rendered at 37, Top right at 22, and bottom at 11. The 11 setting produces brighter results which don't "grey out" with movement so much as the high setting rendering.
