I want to invite anyone who wants… to adapt subtitles for any of my projects (prequels, originals, sequels, and Rogue One) into other languages. Right now most of them aside from Ascendant have just English, French, and Spanish. I can adjust sync, but without speaking the language it’s rather difficult to reliably get new languages onboard.

Why, you ask?

Because schorman13 kindly showed me how to create gorgeous PGS subtitles that closely mimic the format of the burned-in alien subtitles. It makes for a much more pleasant viewing experience if you use subtitles. I’m enamored with them and want to add them to my current projects.

The .sup format they use, however, can’t be added to the player (at least not VLC) and need to be muxed into the file itself. So, whatever interest anyone may have in adding a language to any of these, it’s better to do it now.

Feel free to respond here or PM me if you’re interested in doing so. Don’t wait until finished, as I’d like to be aware so I can wait if need be. I’ll post this in both TROS and COD’s threads.

Watched the first half and enjoyed it greatly. I’m impressed how integrated TBOBF feels so far into the Mandalorian series. All of these have felt like real Star Wars movies.

That looks really good!

You think 3.85 hours is “easily watchable as a non-stop movie”? Seriously? Wow.

That’s some encouraging news from the most encouraging place possible. Can’t stress how cool it is to have the director of the movie himself consult on this.

Wonderful stuff. I’ll take as much of this as you care to dole out!

Like everything you’ve done that I can recall, it looks very natural and authentic.

EDIT: Is it just the color-corrected or adjusted original?

Based on ProRes output from my work, I believe, so it should be darn near identical picture. 😉

I hope if these ever get a physical release this can be recreated and could possibly allow for more wiggle room with things like that.

Can’t even tell which elements are new!

Damn, I wish I had more time for fan editing stuff. I have virtually none, I feel like.

I desperately want to see the film for which that is an accurate poster.

Groovy.

IMHO that difference is not remotely noticeable. I even tried to sync it, and the difference compared to the (admittedly less than 100% precise) GOUT version was half a frame. And it’s only the last 15% of the movie. It’s 100% fine, to me.

Honestly, dude, I might go ahead and put together some subtitles together for your edit. At this point it’ll probably be my general go-to.

Oh, the subtitles were very much not edited in parallel with the video and audio. It’s a huge pain in the ass, done after the edit is finished and sync-locked. It’s very “adjust by a quarter second, save, and see how it looks in VLC, repeat.”

I’d imagine that, yeah, 3/4 hours to conform subtitles to Spence’s edit would be about what it would take me.

That’s wonderful! Thanks for doing that.

Ah, that makes sense then.
