Thanks so much! It’s honestly a blessing to get first-hand help; I would never have put that together about the audio. Funnily enough, I’ve spent nearly all of today fiddling with Handbrake’s encoding settings to get functioning audio, but now I realise I only needed the video xD
Thanks for clarifying about the credits, I’ll check some tutorials to put it all together.
I already have Audacity, and though I haven’t used it much, I’ll be sure to check out that tutorial.
Though I did consider it, nabbing the intermission from your or the Maple Edit wouldn’t quite work for mine, as my intermissions are longer (they’re both a bit over 8 minutes as I use songs from Clamavi de Profundis). As I also intend to make similar CdP musical intermissions for the LOTR Extended Editions, for which the text would need to be blue rather than brown/gold, it’s probably most effective to learn the effect myself. I’m sure there are free VFX programs (I think Blender is free?) that I can find sufficient tutorials for.
Thanks a lot for all the help! I’ll start getting myself some good uncompressed 5.1 audio.
