Alright, it’s been a while, so here’s an update. I decided to try both options for Resolve. I tried TheAlaskanSandman’s method of using Handbrake and converting the files to mp4, and I also bit the bullet and bought EaseFab in its entirety, which means I also got the file converted to DNxHD 1080p. Between the two, I found the DNxHD file ran with Resolve perfectly, while the mp4 file, for whatever reason, was ridiculously slow to the point where my computer couldn’t catch up. So, I’m sticking with the DNxHD.

As for the deleted scenes, it’s a long story. I PM’d HAL9000, and while I did get the links, unfortunately, he doesn’t have all of the scenes. I’m still waiting to see which scenes are available because the Schorman HD files I downloaded this week exceeded my quota on Google Drive (Patience, my young padawan, patience). HAL informed me that he got the files from DrDre, so I decided to PM DrDre, and even more unfortunately, he doesn’t have the links anymore. So, for the time being, things are looking grim on the deleted scenes. I won’t know what scenes I do have until I’m allowed back onto Google Drive, but that’s the situation.

In the meantime, though, I’m having a blast going back and re-editing the DNxHD to a very close approximation of the DVD file I used when I was editing on Shotcut. I’m cutting out Obi-Wan, Qui-Gon and Jar Jar’s underwater adventure as I type this.
