I am editing this project with my new copy of Adobe Premier CS4 master collection. I'm also using my older version of Adobe Premier Pro version 1.5, as I am more familiar with it. I would like to focus on the editing and then hand my finished segments out to people here on this forum who would want to work on certain segments that they personally desire to change. Any effects corrections or changes left over will be taken on by me and my friend, but only after the edit is tweaked and streamlined into something we are happy with.

Right now I am working again on Ilia's arrival. Sometimes those scenes you may think are going to be very easy to edit, take a huge amount of what I like to call "micro-tweaking" to perfect. These little tweaks can at times take hours (or even days) to smooth out so that the viewer is not consciously aware of the changes. There needs to be absolutely no sign of the changes. It should flow like this was the way it always was intended, and that can be so hard when you don't have the source footage, the unaltered audio, effects, and music tracks and such. If you ever saw my cut of Dune, it is full of these "micro-tweaks", and it made for a very popular edit as far as story telling goes. The down side to that project was that I only had pan/scan source, and also a very lousy encoder. But if you look how I mashed up the scenes, you can see my style of "micro-tweaking".
