Help: looking for... Combining fan edits - two fan projects into one?

I’m curious if anyone has tried to combine edit ideas from two seperate fan edits, into a more comprehensive edit.

Yes combining fan edits is a common practice and encouraged, even better if you have a little flair of your own to add in as well.

It should be noted that if you intend to lift chunks directly from another person’s edit, you should try to get permission from them first, and absolutely credit them either way.

Even when redoing ideas from others, i my self am crediting original source of idea. Took the time to do “do diligence” and scroll through every page of Prequel Edit idea thread. Lots of great ideas, though i wanted to redo the scenes i liked to make them my own, while crediting person who originally put forth the idea. Seems respectful and inclusive to the community.

Like other people have said, it’s a good idea. My first foray into editing was combining HAL9000 and L8wrtr’s edits of the prequels, and adding my own stuff.
