• Sound flutter on film.

    I'm watching the film of the Queen's 1953 Coronation, shown recently
    on C4. I remember seeing it as a lad. It's been digitally restored,
    and static shots are now magnificently rock steady. However the sound
    is godawful. Dreadful frequency flutter most noticeable on the clock
    bell. The film must have been in a sorry state to produce that. Surely
    in this day and age it should be possible to de-flutter the sound?

    I watched the Coronation on a neighbours TV when I was 4 years old
    then I forgot all about it. Then I watched the restored version when I
    74 years old and forgot all about it again except for sound. As you
    say the fluttering was noticeable. If it had been processed in some
    way to remove the flutter it may have seemed a bit artificial.

    Surely it would sound more natural if they could vary the pitch at a
    regular rate that had been synchronised with the flutter? Like
    flywheel sync on an old TV.
