I feel like I’m going to have an emotional breakdown. DominicCobb pointed out a serious audio problem that I have confirmed to be present in every single one of my releases thus far, and would be the case with the TFA restructure if I proceeded.
That problem is that in the front and rear channels, the left and right audio are identical. The audio will still pan forward and back, and in and out of the center channel, but there just is not distinction between the left and right channels. It is imperative this be corrected. I didn’t pour such an ungodly amount of care into these fucking prequel edits to let this stand.
I have (still) been using Final Cut Pro 7 to do my editing. I have confirmed that the source audio files are good. (After all, if they were the problem, they’d have to have gotten the same problem across diverse methods of ripping them across projects.) When inside Final Cut, the waveforms on the individual channels show up as correct, with the left and right channels being different from each other when appropriate. (As someone talks while walking offscreen to the right, the right channel comes in on the waveform.)
But, when playing or exporting the audio in Final Cut Pro 7, the left and right channels are the same. (When someone walks offscreen talking, the audio will pan from the center channel to both left and right channels, rather than just the right.) This is a chronic issue that’s been present the entire time I’ve been editing for the past 3 years. It’s like this across every project I’ve done. I’m not even using the same machine as before! When I got this one, I did a fresh install of everything!
So far, I have tried alternating between stereo and dual mono options for the sound monitoring, project, and sequence settings. It makes no difference how it’s exported, because it’s like this when being played in the FCP7 timeline. I can’t find help through Google, and I’m extremely frustrated at this point. I’m really hoping some genius out there knows the answer and can help.

If anyone has any advice on this I’m sure it’d be greatly appreciated.

(Note that I saw this film stoned so I might have enjoyed it more than normally. Great movie to watch high.)

I feel that there’s no need to say this.

WITH GOOD REASON

I remember in 1999 when I saw TPM there was a scene where Obi-Wan and Qui-Gon made out AND I DON’T CARE WHAT YOU GUYS SAY YOU CAN’T TELL ME IT DIDN’T HAPPEN.

Ugh. Probably the worst dream you can have:

Waking up, doing your morning routine (hygiene, breakfast, getting dresses), heading out to work, working for like 6 hours and then waking up and realizing it was all a dream. But you’re tired anyway as if you actually worked for 6 hours and you have got the entire 8 hour long shift ahead of you.

FFS I hate my brain.

That ain’t shit. The worst dreams are almost sex dreams.

Sex dreams are the best dreams

Until you wake up

and plus I said

as in you’re just about to get some ass and then you wake up. Last time it happened to me I was a quarter second into squeezing a titty then I got too excited and woke up.

But I’m sure there’s no women here because they aren’t into Star Wars.

I really don’t want women who are uptight here anyway. I would hope that women who wouldn’t see anything resembling expressing one’s sexuality as being crude, juvenile or disgusting would join our ranks so that people could loosen up a bit. Jesus Christ we’re not in the presence of our Grandmothers on this site.

No wonder you’re only getting ass and titties in your dreams.

As far as I can tell this isn’t something that’s been released, but I was wondering if anyone out there knows where I can find Star Wars sound effects?

I’m specifically looking for ships flying (a Tantive sound would be especially helpful) but really any and all SW SFX are welcome.

I’ve seen it. All 7 minutes. It’s not a movie.

Let’s see…

New Oxford American Dictionary said:

movie |ˈmo͞ovē|

noun chiefly N. Amer.

a story or event recorded by a camera as a set of moving images and shown in a theater or on television; a motion picture.

• Story or event recorded by a camera? Check.
• Set of moving images? Check.
• Shown in a theater or on television? Check.

So each episode of the O’Reilly Factor is a movie?

See this.

So yes, every single thing on tv is a movie.

Next time you’re watching The OC with someone (that’s still a thing with kids, right?), ask them how they are enjoying the movie. See how that goes.

Well, you may not want to use it in casual speak. Just like most people just say “phone” when what they’re talking about is a “smartphone”.

I think what you meant to say was mobile cellular telephone.

It is unfair and bigoted to categorize an entire genre of entertainment as totally bad.

Yeah, but it actually is.

That is an unverifiable statement.

It’s objectively true.

No.

And yet it was true.

That image has no bearing on this conversation.

Found this, better?

If the puffin says it it must be empirically true.

Going to need to see some evidence to back that up.

I seriously don’t get American schooling. As far as I can tell, they start a year of school in September of one year, then finish that year in June of the next year. Why not do what we do in Australia and have school start in February and finish in December, with two week holidays sprinkled in over the year, and a six week break in between school years?

Summer is in the middle of the year for us (June through September).

Except Star Wars doesn’t suck.

In fairness TFA does feature tentacles.

I’m sure when the unaltered theatricals come out there will be much fanfare. They wouldn’t release them if they weren’t trying to make some sweet dinero, and they wouldn’t let that sweet dinero go because people assumed the set was just a standard SE double, sorry, triple dip (wait, quadruple?). I seem to remember the GOUT being the main point of interest in the marketing for the 2006 DVD set anyway.

The current SE has had 4 physical releases and a digital release.

4? Do the steelbooks and saga repackage count as separate releases? They came out at the same time.

Are you allowed to watch anime if you don’t own any fedoras? Serious question.

No. You have to have at least one ounce of Cheeto (or Dorito) dust covering your Naruto shirt, too.

And at least one “body pillow” with questionable stains.

Fuck man and I just shaved my neck too. Just not for me I suppose.

Man, everyone here is so defensive of their animes. Most of my friends watch plenty of anime but when I make fun of it (or them for watching it), they all laugh.

I’m just tired of the two people on this forum who care that some people enjoy Japanese media; they care so much that they have to bring up the fact that they don’t like it all the time. They also insinuate that viewers of such media are inherently immature.

No insinuations necessary, the viewers are objectively (empirically?) immature.

Keeping this thread accurately updated would be a monumental effort. Not worth it.

Awesome to see you back at this. You got some great ideas. Would love to take a look at your finished edit and/or a cut list.

Interesting! Nice to see you back.

Ah jeez, searched up “furry” and the first image I saw was a bunch of dudes in anthropomorphic animal costumes. I won’t go searching any further into this.

Don’t need to search any further. That’s it.

Also Akira admittedly is one hell of a movie. Don’t have much interest in anime though. Not crazy about tentacles.
