Haha. This latest revelation is amusing :D

One thing I'm curious of. If Adywan was to "redo" ANH:R using the German HD source instead of the DVD source, how much work would this be?

I'm assuming it wouldn't just be a case of replacing the original source video file with the new one, and all the changes are not simply "overlays" for lack of a better word.

In premiere, for example, if I was to edit using a video file and then changed the file's location, premiere would then ask me to direct it to the file. If I were to direct it to a different file which was the same video but higher quality, all these changes would be applied in exactly the same way but I'd end up with a better quality version.

What I'm pondering is, would adywan be able to simply direct the program to the German HD source instead of the original, and still retain all or most of the changes in his project.

A long shot I know. My knowledge of after effects is limited, so I don't know whether it actually alters the source video when using it, or adds new overlays (or whatever you'd call them) to your timeline.

Sorry if I'm not making myself very clear.

 

EDIT: Also, this is in no way a request for Adywan to actually redo ANH:R. I understand how annoying such requests can be. I'm simply curious about how the process works, is all :)
