Forgotten Friendship and Rollercoaster of Friendship are out in New Zealand.

FF: runtime 44 min (2641sec) TV Cut

RoF: runtime 44min (2644sec)

Eh, the extended scenes of FF don’t add much to the special except for some comedic bits tbh.

Though it’s a shame we’ll never have decent quality for the whole thing like Mirror Magic…

Why Hasbro… Why?

Quality of YouTube copies of FF are crap in terms of coloration and audio for Part 4. The fact most fans dismissing this is just sad… No one seem to care except a few..

Discovery Family airings often seem to be a properly mastered file. I think the problem is that the teams that encode videos for the YouTube channel are not the same teams that work on broadcast masters at Hasbro Studios.

Coloration:-

Forgotten Friendship and the shorts before it: Brightened colors

And the shorts after it: Desaturated colors

F**ked audio (mono instead of stereo):<del>

</del> Star-Crossed

- My Little Shop of Horrors

- Fluttershy’s Butterflies (Rainbow Dash ending)

- (Part 4) Most Likely to be Forgotten

Only the YouTube copies of Rollercoaster of Friendship and most of CYOAs are near perfect, every other installments of EG ‘Digital Series’ on YouTube have issues. But everyone proceeds to use those to upload screencaps or reupload those videos anyway… smh

Hasbro really needs to get their QA (Quality Assurance) in check. Even the movie trailers and teaser were wildly inconsistent, with each one seemingly having a rendering error somewhere along the way.
