John GruberFive minutes into episode 1 of “The Acolyte”: it looks like a show shot with a $50 high school play budget. What a disgrace to both Star Wars and Disney.
BenRiceM@gruber it’s worth sticking with it for episode 5

Jan Wedekind@caseyliss @BenRiceM @gruber that, and maybe turn on filmmaker mode on your TV (or turn off all the motion smoothing stuff)? It never looked cheap to me tbh. I quite like that they are doing something new and enjoy it a lot more than Ahsoka.

At least that motion smoothing stuff helps bring it back. FWIW Sony's algorithm makes it harder to notice it's happening -- I'm sure it's poor quality and artefacts that made "soap opera effect" so infamous.
Nevertheless there's certainly a more subtle point to be made that low-quality effects in LFR become more prominent when converted to HFR. But high quality effects look better or fare better at least.
T@corsairstw @janwedek @caseyliss @BenRiceM @gruber High Frame Rate and Low Frame Rate
LFR = 24, 25, 30 fps
or the American 23.94, 29.97 etc
HFR = 48, 50, 60 fps
including 59.97 etc
@gruber @caseyliss @BenRiceM you said “first five minutes”, which IIRC is the bar scene fights which I don’t think looks cheap to “be ashamed off”. That said, the forrest scenes did bother me neither tbh. Episode 5 was quite good regardless. Environment looked better than in the final Obi Wan Darth Vader fight.
@gruber @caseyliss @BenRiceM also, from that screenshot, you like have all the oversharpening etc of the TV on, which makes such scenes look way worse.
Khürt Williams@gruber well sure. If the setting is a gorge.

Yeah I haven't had that thought once. Not sure what you are referencing. The scene in the photo looks good to me.
