I’m only replying from Hals first request, not had time to read the last page of comments but from what I remember Kewlfish wasn’t happy with the cave shots. He gave me most of his AF templates but not those shots or none of the original footage. When I worked out which plate went with what shot they were all off by a few inches and some had double frames so it was easier for me to start fresh.
I’m not sure what the issue was, maybe mine was 800p and Kewlfish used 1080p? It was a year ago so can’t really remember.
I showed the community reworkings of Kewlfish, Luka and my own saber effects but people preferred mine which unfortunately included 5 layers instead of one, so it took forever!
I then noticed I was using a badly compressed source rip so will have to redo those again now I’ve mastered a bluray rip.
Basically, every scene I finished, I learnt a new technique which meant redoing each scene again. I lost patience, time and the ability to work for hours as my computer now overheats and crashes before saving.
I haven’t even been able to open any AF projects in 5 months so I’ve no idea what was finished or not but I’d like to keep the 5 layer effect just for continuety but I’ve no idea when I can even start fan editing again cos life hates me right now.
I hope that helps and any questions?
