Looks like bad news for anybody wanting to use the deleted scenes in a “Force Awakens” fanedit or Extended Edition. If this teaser is to be believed (and why wouldn’t it) then it appears that they have added a runtime counting clock to the upper left corner. You’d have to either crop it out (bad) or digitally erase it (hard to do on amateur software).

Hard to do on any software for most shots. It seems there might be a variety of different clip formats given what we saw with the safety area overlay samples before?
