Additive / Successive Frame confusion

I'm changing 'Also, the process suffered from "fringing" and "haloing" of the images, a insoluable problem as long as Kinemacolor remained an additive process' to 'Also, the process suffered from "fringing" and "haloing" of the images, a insoluable problem as long as Kinemacolor remained a successive frame process'. The fringing was caused by the fact that the red and green images were photographed in two separate acts, separated by time. A fast-moving subject can move between the exposure of the two frames, thereby blurring the edges of the moving parts of the image (because they were in different places when the red record and the green record were created). This is not because Kinemacolor was additive. There were many additive colour processes with no fringing issues - Chronochrome and Dufaycolor, for example (not to mention colour television!). - User:LDGE 20:00, 19 December 2006

The process did not suffer from fringing at all but from severe flicker. The fringing happens when someone nowadays tries to combine two successive frames into one. The film was not meant to be presented that way. -- Sloyment (talk) 02:07, 22 August 2018 (UTC)

Trooping the color

From Youtube, I got to know that "Trooping the color" is the first known non-commercial color footage ever produced.

Would it be worthwhile mentioning it here.-Ravichandar_{My coffee shop} 02:41, 19 December 2008 (UTC)

Invention date

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-19423951 This says it was invented at least as early as 1902 and was patented on 22 March 1899. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 79.77.106.159 (talk) 20:10, 13 September 2012 (UTC)

That is referring to Lee Turner Colour, the predecessor of Kinemacolor. Da5nsy (talk) 15:39, 29 April 2013 (UTC)

Picture of the day

A Visit to the Seaside, a 1908 film directed by British filmmaker George Albert Smith. This work was the first film screened using Kinemacolor, a color motion picture process developed by Smith and used commercially from 1908 to 1914. This additive two-color process involved photographing and projecting a black-and-white film behind alternating red and green filters. It was later used for films such as With Our King and Queen Through India (1912), The World, the Flesh and the Devil (1914), and Little Lord Fauntleroy (1914).Film: George Albert Smith

List of films made in Kinemacolor

The list of Kinemacolor films on this article is incomplete. Volume 1 of the 1912/13 Kinemacolor film catalogue lists some 440 titles alone. Now add Volume 2 and the Kinemacolor films made by everyone besides Urban who ever got their hands on the process. One website lists Kinemacolor films known to have survived.
