Really appreciate the help guys. I am finished with the video editing and it is really looking good. I even started some color correction and the values seem to work really well. Definitely looks like the OT. Some edits I've done recently include removing SOME of the CG gunpowder stuff - just went on a bit too long. I removed the shots of the aliens in the tent - now they're only seen behind the cloth. Less Alien in the climax, less saucer too.

Overall I just took out a lot of the goofiness, while still keeping the good, funny lines that adhere to the classic feel of Raiders.  

Here are a few more questions:

1.) Is there any way to just download that 6 channel audio file?? I've downloaded 6 programs and none of them have worked!! :[

2.) How do I combine or merge sequences? (how do i erase razor cuts between sequences?)

3.) Is there any way to color correct the whole film as one? THis might be linked to question 2, but I have to color correct each sequence seperately and I have A LOT of sequences marked. 

4.) This one is not Technical (yay). I really feel like the exposition in this film is repetitive and often throws the pacing off. Two scenes stand out - the cemetery dialog after they find the skull and the tent scene with Spalko. Any suggestions on what we DONT need to hear AGAIN in these two scenes? I would love to cut away when Indy says "what is this thing?" in the cemetery, and lose all of the what if's scenarios that we establish later on anyway.
