Alright, I've hit a bit of a roadblock.

The scene with the stormtroopers and dewbacks searching the desert ... well ... I hate it. I've always hated the added SE shots of the scene, so I'm trying to cut them out. I don't mind the added dewback in the shot that was always there since 1977, but I hate the two new shots.

The problem is, the shot that's been there since 1977 is shortened a lot in the SE. So I'm stuck with either using at least one of the new SE shots, or (gasp!) switching to GOUT video for that shot. And as many here know, that shot is one of the worst on the GOUT (four-eyed stormptrooper, anyone?) ... so I really don't want to do that.

If anyone has any suggestions regarding this shot, that would be great :-)

Maybe you could use the gout, color match it to the AVCHD shot or Revisited whatever you are using, Then have the R/AVCHD shot blend into the Gout shot when the gout is the only source available for the frames.

Make that single shot into a clip in a timeline (I don't know how to use the software you are using, so sorry if this isn't possible) from both sources and line them up on the timeline so that the end matches. Use the GOUT just for the beginning of the shot where that's all there is and then have it slowly blend into the higher quality shot. If done well it would be better than just using the GOUT and the increase in quality would be slow so it wouldn't be so jarring.
