I'm not sure that would have been possible. I also don't think it would have made a difference as far as the strobing goes. Since a small period of time elapses between the color changes, there's no version of this where the colors would have lined up perfectly. That's an unsolvable problem akin to reconstructing a single frame out of

This does seem to have the frames blended, inasmuch as pausing it in any given place still shows both colors. I checked our copy against the one on the Internet Archive and found that it's the same there; both are 25 fps. While I would have liked to see a version that preserved the sequential color,

two-color film process, an important milestone in the history of color photography. Apart from imperfections in the original, this is a very good transfer. The frame rate is at or near real-time (often a problem with showing films from the hand-cranked era) and in HD. The source at the Internet

The IA version is at the same resolution, were you also the uploader there? Considering the alternative examples all seem to be watermarked or super compressed, I'd be fine featuring this even if it was upscaled.
295:, the shortest of them all (7 seconds of footage repeated 3x), is the only one which was digitized in HD. The others are all 720x576, except for a few scenes in the Delhi Durbar, which are even lower quality. 168:- you can get close, but never exact. Although the bitrate of the Internet Archive copy is higher, and maybe we should upload that one just to have it, this is otherwise about as good as it gets. 259: 150:
Interesting example of pre-Technicolor movies, amazingly little color strobing in the fast-fluttering flags! (Partly because the red and blue registered only on respective frames...) --

appear to be shot from a theater screen, hand-held, with a spectator blocking the lowest part of the frame - so that one is definitely not FP material... --

Shame it's watermarked, that's a fun piece of footage. I like seeing candid moments from long ago. They make the past feel more real.

Hahaha, yeah. I realized about 10 seconds in that I was looking at the back of someone's head and wondered if I should say something.

Oh my god, I didn't even catch that part. I was wondering why they were shifting the image down in the middle of the video.

HD example of Kinemacolor, and this video does a much better job of showing how it captures different kinds of motion.
