In an unexpected first, I have decided to use AI to fix a technical issue in the Part II section of the edit.
One of the peskier things about fanediting is what to do when you plan to add a new scene to an area with a transition. I added in the burned down high school deleted scene (restored by Bobson Dugnutt, and I owe him my thanks for the work he put into it) right between the 1985-A Strickland scene and the introduction to Biff’s pleasure paradise. But if you have a strong ear, you might have noticed that Sammy Hagar’s “I Can’t Drive 55” begins right on Strickland’s line, “Eat lead, slackers!”
This made the transition extremely hard.
Not surprisingly, I had to get rid of the music from that scene in order to transition to the next scene. So, I decided to jump on board and use voice isolation AI to fix the issue via Elevenlabs. I was introduced to that program while working with the Red Apple Crew. I don’t remember who assisted me with voice isolation on the ending to my Death Squad edit, so instead, I’m just gonna leave a special thanks credit to the entire crew unless the person who introduced me to Elevenlabs would like to have all the credit himself. If it wasn’t for the crew, I probably would’ve had a rather odd sound issue going on in the final edit.
Hopefully, that tiny little transition is the only time where I will need AI for this edit.
