Sorry guys, exams. I'll get back to editing by next week. Just so you guys know, I have to re-edit all of the AOTC scenes...

There he is! Thought u'd done a runner! Good luck with exams :)

Yeah Asteroid-Man you can't give us the ol' exams excuse surely! :p

To be honest, I've just been afraid. I feel like if I do finish it and then release it, you guys won't like it and I'll have spent two years working on something that everyone hates anyways and thus preventing me from doing ESB and ROTJ (which are the two I am most looking forward to doing). I was also thinking of changing the beginning to the a re-cut sequence of ROTJ with Vader watching Luke being killed and then fade into Renascent or just leaving this for the beginning to ROTJ or just scrapping the idea completely.

The main issue is that I have all these ideas that I would like to realize, but it is difficult to do so considering I'm working with pre-existing footage...

I dunno, what do you guys think?

if i could do editing and knew all this fancy computer lingo and stuff, i would be making edits all the time.

What is stopping you from learning how to do it? ;)

It would be cool to watch your edit, if you decide to let other people see it :)

Thanks for all the support guys. All my stuff is currently packed away, as I leave for a cottage tomorrow and then when I get back I'm moving to a new city. I'll be moving in to the new place on the 1st, but I have some things to do on the 2nd and 3rd, but I have the 4th, 5th and 6th free, so hopefully I can work 72 hours straight and get it done. :P I have another solution to the problem, remember how the original video I used was split between three really long videos? Well I was thinking about just editing the proper attack of the clones rip into that one, replacing the file and letting the computer replace every individual segment. I'm also going to go through and fix anything I might have missed. In the meantime, does anyone have a high quality sound clip of Vader breathing? The one I have is low quality and jarring.

Just to give you guys an update, I've redone the first AOTC sequence and am almost done the second. I'm going to aim to do one a day and hopefully be done soon. I'm then going to put a day into checking all the transition timings and the music cues.

Haha only with one hand, I'm using the other to pull the hair from my scalp! :P

I've just finished the second sequence. There are seven more sequences to do. I have other plans tonight but maybe another night when I get off class early or something, I can do multiple sequences.

Holy shit! While I was replacing the AOTC scenes, I came across one of the scenes InfoDroid had given me permission to use (the mirrored deaths), and at the beginning of this scene there was clashing a clashing music cue and a missing sound effect (the bike). Originally, I wasn't able to fix the clashing music cue and the sound effect I had used wasn't properly isolated, but after wrestling with it, I was able to isolate the sound effect and I was able to fix the clashing cue. For the cue, I removed the audio chunk that was clashing completely, used one from the soundtrack and blended it into the gap and it worked!

It's the Force. It's with you! HUZZAH! ;)

Does anyone know where to get the sound effect Info used from the original Reborn trailer at 1:10?

Here's what I did today:

Remapped all the audio clips I added so that speech comes out of the center speakers only (in the Phantom Menace scenes and the vader breathing I had put in were panned 5.1)

The music I added no longer comes from the center speaker

I replaced the Vader breathing with a high quality one for his reveal and it now pans through the surround sound as Vader walks off camera - from C to FLl to SL

"The Imperial March" featured in Vader's reveal is now turned down and fits better with the film.

One of the fly-bys from a TPM scene now has proper 5.1 pan (before it just played out of all the speakers, now it starts in SL and makes its way up to FL).

Sepiah effect in TPM scenes now have better contrast.

Finished retouching the clashing music from InfoDroids mirrored deaths scene.

Re-inserted the AOTC scenes during the mirrored cantina sequence.

Fixed the "flash" during Vader's flashback sequence to the last time he saw Obi-Wan (still missing a sound effect that I mentioned in the post above).

Fixed clashing audio and the volume of the fade out to the credits.

Replaced the songs "Honour Him" and "Now We Are Free" in the credits with Lisa Gerrard's "Maranatha (Come Lord)" to better fade with "The Shroud of the Dark Side" and "Briseis And Achilles".

The shortened "Briseis And Achilles" is now fades through the cut smoothly.

Fixed a few segments of audio that were out of sync (speech and fly-bys).

Re-adjusted the timing in a few fades.

Still left to do:

Replace six more AOTC segments (I found a few I missed).

Double check every audio cue/fade and video transition.

Thank God I only have one class on Wednesdays!

EDIT: Once I've rendered the video, I've decided to make a commentary track and also an MP3 of the credits music.

EDIT 2: I'm also thinking of making myself a new logo intro. We'll see.

All in all, sounds very promising!
