I’ve never understood the rationale behind going overboard with audio/video equipment. I get spending a ton of money on a TV and speakers, but I don’t get spending hundreds on a blu-ray player or a thousand dollars on a turntable stylus.

Video and audio encoding varies from player to player.

No. Unless you meant “decoding”, and even then I’m doubtful unless the settings are just messed up on it.

Right.

Video and audio decoding varies from player to player. Not to mention the prospect of all-regions and other formats, the quality of the upscaling algorithm, etc. etc.

The Last Jedi : a Fan Edit <strong>Ideas</strong> thread

I played with it myself with really awful editing software and it was pretty seamless (well, as seamless as I could get with software that wasn’t frame accurate) other than one shot. If I was able to properly crop it, it would have been better. This is where a 4K source would do wonders.

It required a bit of audio work, I had to repeat some of the troopers footsteps and insults to go over the start of her lines, maybe I’ll post what I had.

Thanks for all the input on that point. Sounds like 'The Fallen Knight’s option A vs. this as option B.

Also, re: the ending. I don’t really see any merit in swapping the order of scenes, especially since up to this point every film has had a final scene without any (English) dialogue.

I prefer your option B. It makes Hux seem a lot more sure of himself, reminiscent of Tarkin.

I think I’m going to have to kill my edit. My editing skills are pretty bad and it looks like most of what I want done is going to get done somewhere. Not many seem to want to remove Phasma, though.

I didn’t remove her completely, but I axed the Finn v. Phasma fight at least. It was pretty easy.

No Phasma Fight

pass: fanedit

Oh gosh, that last shot would be on my cutlist too.

And if you cut the fight, might I suggest you try to cut her completely? It’s super easy to do. ^_^ You do that and yours might be the edit I go to.
