That’s what I was thinking. I just can’t add too many extra frames as I’ve timed the score perfectly.
Balance of the Force was a 10 min featured for TLJ. There is a shot in there I need but the 1080p crop looks way too pixelated. I’m not sure if it’s on a 4k release anywhere?
Yeah, Just before Kylo walks into shot after she does the backflip.
Does anyone know if ‘Balance of the force’ was ever released on 4k?
I’m finding the same with After effects. Roto2 tool just doesn’t pick up the colour well. I’m doing something similar with Poe’s shirt and I think I’m gonna have to paint each frame.
Yeah, Pretty much!
On another note, The glitchy Saber effects were pretty easy to do but I’m just trying to find a good spot where the blue glow isn’t too dominant in the rain reflections. That’s gonna be the only issue making this effect work. I’m thinking of using a close-up piece of footage from when Rey ignites the Saber before she jumps Kylos ship. I’ve cut that scene in my edit so it’ll be good to use it elsewhere.

Thoughts?
I’ve been trying to work on the dark outfit but it’s extremely difficult the switch white or gray without masking every shot. If anyone knows of a better way, I’d love to learn how?
Didn’t Skenera do a LUT for that?
Oh nice, I didn’t know you were collaborating with other members of these forums. I really liked your Kylo’s scar heal edit, will you be making your shots available for other editors to use in their own edits, like Hal’s TROS Ascendent?
Kylo’s scar heal edit? I must have missed that. Does anyone have a link to it?
Here’s an early pass. It took a few more to get right. https://youtu.be/GyF5ggzFuZg
This is a pretty cool concept and decent execution but I have a few issues with this clip. For one, at this point we’ve already seen Rey force-heal his much more serious saber wound - in turn, I feel like this little scar would’ve already healed during that process. Second, I feel like the scar should close and then fade evenly versus the linear ‘erasing’ effect we see here. The scar itself, however, does look very natural and realistic.
Thanks man, This clip was a fairly older first pass. We did a few more since then which look much better. I did a full breakdown on the delay of the healing in this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qhGEUdP3Vq0
I’m glad you like the concept. It did work out well in the final cut.
Hello! These are the shots in which it has been possible for me to change Luke’s hair, there are other shots in which it is impossible: a thousand generations … it is impossible, for me at least.
I have also lost two kilos of weight to Lukehttps://drive.google.com/file/d/1wxCRU-kV6rx8nPENzKqWPD3lBv0a2c4F/view?usp=sharing
Thanks Chase, I did try to blur it a little more but I think that’s the best I can do.
Jonh are you able to fix that last flappy strand of hair at 0:06 and 0:23? Other than that it’s perfect. I also PM’d you about the force ghost image. Great job, dude.
Yeah, I think this was talked about in another thread and someone actually achieved it in EbSynth for a small clip but I think to achieve it in a full scene would take a lot of work.
If love to see that happen if anyone has the time and skill.
That’s great. That effect and sound can even be mimicked for yet another call back. It would also give Rey reason for burying it at the end that seemed a little weird.

I think is really easy to have an effect like this. I also like the symbolism of Rey beeing so consumed and drived by her anger on Kylo and that whole situtation that she kinda explodes and stabs Kylo. Just like the Saber that is so overused and forced to be in there, it craclkes ad fails.
That is great editing guys, a simple change enrichs the movie’s themes.
Yeah, I’ve already done some nice tweaks to that scene but this effect would give another great little detail to why her rage gets the better of her. I’ll wait to get the high res crackling scene and see if this works in reality.
Fantastic idea RogueLeader.

Agreed! Maybe use it twice but a different effect on each.
switches on and off a few times with a dissolve.
switches off with a spark then reignites.
Just looking at the scene now and it would be very tricky to remove it when she shakes her hand but there are two other points where it would be fairly easy to do.
That’s a REALLY good idea, dude.
I’m wondering how that effect would look and sound?
I mean, lightsabers in general are pretty stupidly dangerous… But that’s why Star Wars is fantasy and not Sci-Fi.
Dangerous as in the mechanics of the switch blade. It’s more like press the button and hope you keep all your arms, legs, toes and fingers.
Didn’t a weapons expert deem her Sith Saber to be one of the stupidest and dangerous designs he’d ever seen?
kylo’s saber is also dumb but it looks cool, so whatever
Why is Kylos dump? Crossguards are a great idea. I thought his was awesome.

If someone can provide me a timestamp, I’d be happy to upload a clip.Fantastic, It’s 1:12:46:04 to 1:13:14:21 but may vary with 4k version. Thanks.
I’ll work on that and get it up for you sometime later today. A 4K SDR mp4 seems like the simplest option for you to work with, so I’ll try to get that up in a codec you can edit with soon.
Superstar! I’m in the UK so my days about to end here, so no rush.
Ended up happening quicker than I expected. This should be what you need.

Be sure to download the file for the full resolution. Google drive doesn’t stream 4K.
Thanks for doing it so quickly. I can’t download this file yet as it’s exceeded its quota. I’ll try again tomorrow.
In the meantime, I started from scratch and manually tracked the castle movement in the last few frames. I think it’s much smoother but can someone let me know if the new smoke overlay and colouration is ok?

pw: faneditStrange. Didn’t think this one small file would exceed quota so quickly, but it could be limits on the storage itself.
Try this file instead. Might get it to you quicker.
https://mega.nz/file/tRY2BBrB#O1cqtM4Foc4AjgZtXCHkes8h5LJOtERP7gnHq-xkZDEAlso, your vimeo video link says it’s private. I can’t see it.
Awesome, Got it! It seems fairly tiny for a 4k file. Is 92mb right?
My clip should be password protected. password is fanedit

I’m colourblind af so if anyone would like to help please let me know.
I should be getting it tomorrow. Does anyone know the best way to convert an 4k mkv to mp4 without colour loss?
If someone can send a 4k frame/the Vader castle shot from the movie that I sent in the concept, I think I could edit the scene, just would need Popsketti to add the 3 ties in sometime later. My download of Rogue One is only 1080p.
I’m just working on getting the scene in 4k…
I’m sorry to interrupt the discussion, but I have one more edit!
Luke trains Rey: https://vimeo.com/496540201 password: Rey
well this is my second edit of the sequel trilogy, i hope you like it. I know it’s not perfect and it may be poorly edited, it’s because i edit it on my cell phone.I like the sarcastic Luke at the start. What fan-film is that?
Thanks, That’s a nice little film. I missed that one.
