@ Adywan,

I hope you are following this thread,I sent you a PM yesterday but you probably did not see it,I have edited in the English crawl into the German version,the first edit point is very easy,I just started it right before "A long time ago......."where the screen is solid black,but the second edit point is going to be tricky,where did you do your second cut?

The reason I ask is because the stars on the German version are so much bigger and brighter,i really sticks out,I tried right after the crawl disappears,then right when the camera pans down and I do not like either of them spots,to noticeable,so where did you edit it to keep it flowing better?

Thanks

sorry , i haven't had chance to check my PM's yet.

If i remember correctly you have to cut on the shot change after the stardestroyer flies overhead. The German HD has the crawl taken from a difference source which seems upscaled.  So with all the saga you will have to make the cut at the first shot change after the pan down. Its pretty easy to spot when the sources change due to the difference in quality

With ANH the HD source starts at the shot of the Tantive IV flying towards us
With ESB it is the shot of the probes emerging from the underbelly of the stardestroyer
With ROTJ it is the shot of the shuttle and TIEs flying towards the camera
With TPM is is the first shot inside the cockpit

Now with AOTC & ROTS you could splice it in anywhere you want after the crawl disappears because both are taken from the digital source and it looks like the English crawl should match perfectly
