This cut has turned out to be very frustrating so far and now I'm starting over for the third time. On the bright side I've aquired better software to use so I'm hoping to do a more high quality job.

I'm now using:

Vegas 9 - video/sound editing

AE CS4 - specail effects and color correction

This is my plan for now:

Color Correction: my biggest hurdle so far has been matching the color of TTT with PH and Jerry B's color pallete and filters. I'm now using after effects and I'm hoping I'll be able to match the grain and color sceme of PH. I'm brand new to Affect Effects so any pointers would be welcome. I also have the red giant add-on pack.

Special Effects:

After (if) I'm able to get the color correction right I'll move on to updating the few battle scenes i'm keeping from TTT (i.e. the USS Hood attacking the sub, B-17's landing during the attack, ect). I plan on adding bigger and more dynamic explosions, tracers, muzzle flashed and selective camera shake to better match the action in PH.

I also would like to find a way to remove and redo the subtitles, but they are imbedded on the the film and very tedious photoshop and rotoscopining are the only way I know to remove them. Anyone have any advice?

Sound: The sound for TTT is 4.1. I've been able to separate the wave files, but the sound separation isn't true at all. I'm finding that I'll need to rework most of the sound for all TTT scenes to give it a true 5.1 feel. Also, the planes sound very different in TTT vs PH so I've downloaded new sounds to better match PH, but i'm finding replacing these sound to be very tedious.

If anyone has advice to help with any of this it would be much appreciated. I'd alos like to see if anyone is willing to tackle some cover art for me...
