Just added another thing to v3. This shot:

Added Shot_1 139 1

The Coruscant entrance was the second hardest part to edit for Episode I (The pod race took first place). It was a combination of good and bad ideas happening at the same time and sometimes altogether. The sudden shift to Anakin’s POV in this scene also made quite a crux, since it can’t be fixed at all. Naturally, because of the difficulties I had with the opening to Coruscant, a mistake was made. I cut out the shot where Amidala walks over to Palpatine and Valorum for the first time. I don’t know what I was thinking when I removed it, but because this is mainly Amidala’s scene, it needs to be in the film.

The only reason I think I cut it was because Palpatine started talking in this shot, and at the time, I didn’t know any better about sound editing. So for that reason alone, I removed it. Being older and wiser on Resolve now, I cut out Palpatine’s audio through the power of sound editing. The only crime that may be committed here is that you might see Palpatine’s lips moving, but since the focus of the shot is on her, I think it’ll end up being invisible (unless you’re really that perfectionistic).
