I do, too. I PM’d him about a week ago and haven’t gotten anything. I do hope to see a return from him, but obviously it’ll depend on that.
I think I found the problem with the video encode, and I hope it’s just a weird glitch rater than the video file being corrupted. Worst case I have to redo the color grade after re-exporting from FCP7.
I hope to put out one more workprint in the near future, now that I’ve got everything finally situated. It won’t include kewlfish’s crackly saber video or audio. So, if for any reason he isn’t able to finish that work, this will be pretty close to the end product.
Right now I am troubleshooting some issue that is preventing me from exporting video from FCPX or Compressor. I can export audio-only stuff fine, so I’m not sure what the deal is.
I’ve never seen anyone pull off keeping the victory celebration music while removing the planet cutaway itself. I don’t think it will ever work. It’s an all or nothing package.
Sounds impressive! Would be interested in taking a look at it.
And yeah, a small part of the Palpatine message plays at the start of the briefing scene. It gives them something to react to other than the awkward line “somehow, Palpatine returned.”
I watched with headphones and I never noticed any audio issues at all.
Finally got the new computer all set up. That SSD just needed to be mounted externally to be set up. But right now it’s migrating my old drive’s stuff onto the new one. Thanks again to everyone for helping get here.
Oh, I see. You mean the alternate ending version.
It does.
ANH - Jabba scene
ESB - Fett’s voice
ROTJ - Jedi Rocks
Often you can isolate the audio channel with the dialogue.
Nice! I’m a fan of the no-crawl approach to non-saga movies.
The one on the Drive is current. There’s really just a couple things to wait for, most notably Kewlfish’s crackly saber footage for most of the movie. I can’t really put an ETA on others’ work. But aside from that I really just need to do some things to prepare like subtitles.
I don’t know if the ssd powers on because I don’t have an enclosure for it yet.
I think once one of these machines is upgraded to 10.13+ it no longer is willing to address an internal drive that isn’t formatted right. So hopefully that enclosure will let me do what I need to do with it.
Let’s not call people Trump, please.
I tried to, but it gave my a cryptic complaint (about the drive lacking a “firmware partition”) that I believe wouldn’t be there if the internal drive had 10.13 or later installed.
Didn’t anticipate this as a problem, but should be solvable. Plan A is to move the original internal drive to an enclosure and boot from it in order to format and work with the new one.
Otherwise I’ll have to get creative about removing the screw I stripped and temporarily putting the original internal drive back in so I can format the new one.
And I’ll say this: even though the screen is busted, it’s nice to have a MacBook that isn’t dented and dinged to hell like my 2011 machine was when I got it. (That’s how I got it as cheaply as I did.)
Haven’t gotten the enclosure yet. I’m hoping it’ll address it via enclosure even though it won’t when it’s internal.
I got a 2014 13” machine. I popped a new NVMe drive into it. I can boot into recovery or 10.12 Sierra via external USB, but neither option lets me detect the new internal SSD via disk utility or terminal.
I don’t know how the new drive came formatted, and it wasn’t listed as specifically for Mac so I’d be surprised if it was APFS.
So, I’m hoping that an enclosure will let me address the drive so I can format and install macOS. Apparently it may matter that it’s internal.
Does that sound like a good plan or do you have any insight?
Well damn, this was at 5000 comments last time I was here.
I’ve no idea where you’re at with this edit now but did snooker return and did you get the Naboo scene finished? I can help if not.
I’m slowly getting back on my feet so if I can help let me know.
Yep, we got it, but thanks!
And it seems like I’m going to need to order an NVMe usb enclosure since my Mac isn’t seeing the new SSD at all. The internet suggests I can format it and install my OS using an enclosure before installing it into the machine itself. So that’ll probably add a week waiting for that.
But then why does Palpatine seem to gloat as he describes Darth Plagueis not being able to save himself from being killed? Shouldn’t he just be Plagueis?
I received the new machine in the mail yesterday. It appears to work fine, busted screen notwithstanding. I will wait to set it up, though, until I get the replacement internal SSD. Once that happens, I can restore from my Time Machine backup, place the old machine’s drive in an enclosure and retain the ability to hop into FCP7 if I need to.
And a good thing too, because last night when I powered off the old machine, I couldn’t get anything to happen with it. Not even the usb peripheral would light up.
So, I’m waiting on a couple more components to arrive by mail but there shouldn’t be any issue getting things up and running how they were before!
Invisible lightning.
News weeks like this one make me regret trimming Obi-Wan’s line, “Anakin, my allegiance is to the Republic, to democracy!”
That’s a good thought, about that Yoda line. Hmm.
I don’t plan to remove voices there. Given that the scene doesn’t seem to adhere to the ‘Qui-Gon, Obi-Wan, and Yoda are the only ones to learn how to be immortal’ idea, it’d be weird to only hear from Jedi from this series that span 1/1000th of the Jedi’s history. Especially since at least a few would not mean anything in particular to Rey.
I’m assuming that unknown voices would be interpreted as being random other Jedi from the past.
