The only thing that bugs me about the Star Wars movies that I don't think anyone addressed is the lack of visible glass paneling over starship windows. Because of the compositing techniques available at the time they look more like openings than windows

Good idea - but then he might not even need to call out anything. The brother can still see him drive by and wonder what is going on.
re: the McCoy scene, i can't recall exactly where it was, if i find it again soon enough i'll let you guys know...As i recall it wasn't footage from the film cameras just doco stuff. but the quality should be decent.
7) Kirk on car (does anybody have a good copy of the trailer ? It's not on the DVD and I need the scene of the car hitting the road without "IOWA" written in the top left corner)
not sure what you mean here, or did you mean Kirk IN car?
I'm pretty sure that ALL the main trailers are on the bluray. do you mean when the car flies around the corner of the intersection, or something else?
Check this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uiHeviygXw8 - in the part around 0:09 . In the finished movie there is "IOWA" written in the top left corner. I have only the PAL R2 DVD and the trailer is not here, which is quite a shock for me

I know this is going to sound stupid, but how do I check the flag? I'm new to final cut and really don't have a clue. I did a quick google search but found nothing.

Have you found a source to redub Johnny with "Sammy" "Sam", "George" or "Georgie"? (Kirk's brother is George Samuel Kirk. "Johnny" was an edit they made after removing Kirk's brother from the script)
If you can't get him to yell the real name of Kirk's brother, could you just have him yell the word "Hay" only? Just cut out Johnny....
That may prove a more logical solution

But it wasn't. That's what I'm saying........I exported it with it unchecked, and reimported it, and it looks fine. That's what I'm confused about.
*edit* just to clarify, I've only viewed said clip in the left viewer by double clicking on the imported file.
well It doesn't matter if the clip is exported as anamorphic or not, as long as it shows up right it should be fine. It's the sequence that has to be anamorphic in sequence settings (actually even that doesn't really matter because you can make it anamorphic in dvdsp when you are making the DVD)
I may have discovered your problem: make sure the new clip has the same flag as the DVCPRO clip. I.E. if that was anamorphic make this anamorphic, if it wasn't it shouldn't be.

Yeah doesn't Blade Runner have like 5 cuts on one disc?
all 4 versions had one disc each + the 5th for the extra shit
Oh, It must have been Close Encounters I was thinking of, that had three cuts on one disc I believe. A Blade Runner-like set would be neat.

8) Vulcan bullies (can there be bullies on a planet whose inhabitants are purely logical ???)
Remember that Vulcan's aren't vowed to purge all emotion until Kohlinar (probably butchered the spelling) Vulcans choose to embrace logic but are very emotional inside. The Vulcan kids are kids. In a TOS episode Amanda said that Spock was teased frequently as a child (Journey to Babel I think)
Johnny Ringo said:
Can't remember if this has come up but during one of the documentaries they show a scene from the very end of the film where Kirk walks onto the bridge and claps Bones on the shoulder - then Bones says "same ship, different day". Have you done anything with this clip?
Hmmm...I remember that but I don't remember if it was in-camera footage or documentary cam footage
How would you transition into the opening credits with the Klingon capture scene? Maybe after Spock's birth?
There's a shot in the extended Kirk and Gaila scene where Kirk has green makeup on his nose. maybe the shot from the movie can be substituted? There is a slight dialogue difference in that shot though.

DO you think it might be a good idea to include the Rura Penthe scene without including the Klingon capture scene? Not only would you not need to do the effects for the capture but the Romulans speak in Romulan in that scene, which they do nowhere else in the film.
No. I have 2 reasons -
1) this should be an "extended cut" and not a "fan edit" so I'm trying to include absolutely everything I find not depending if I like the scene or not
2) During many years of the franchise there have been many episodes where we see some aliens communicating together in their language and when they meet Humans they start to speak English. I never head a problem with that
I know, but they speak English to each other later on in the movie. "The Wait is Over" and "I don't want to kill him, I want to make him watch blablabla..." The Klingons even speak to the other aliens in Rura Penthe in Klingon but investigate Nero in English.

Rura Penthe was established as an ice planet in Star Trek VI. A planet where without proper clothing, no humanoid lifeforms could survive for very long on the surface.
Could you guys add in a few snow flakes and a bit of ice? Or could you make it look like this is underground or under some type of dome?
Isn't Delta Vega supposed to be a desertish Planet too? I believe they established that in TOS.
Yeah. As long as anamorphic 16:9 is checked in the sequence settings and it looks right it should be okay.

Also worth noting (hopefully this will mean something to you) when I resize the problem clip in my timeline, it grows to the size it should be in the preview window, but when I finish dragging (let go of the mouse button) it returns to normal. It's showing the size of the source file it's referring to, and then resizing down again when I'm done changing. Am I missing something really obvious?

I don't see a setting for pixel aspect ratio in the settings......
It works perfectly for the exact same clip when dragged into the timeline manually. But for some reason does not work for the same clip added via 'reconnect media'. Which makes no sense. They're the exact same clip in the exact same sequence!

Well I've done it already, and I'm quite satisfied with the music, I just don't like the effects
I had one problem with Avatar, and that was that I thought the quick acceptance of Jake as the leader towards the end of the movie dumbed down the Navi culture. He didn't even have to apologize, all he had to do was tame this dragon and suddenly they were all over him, personally I don't really think Jake should be able to master that culture and become the leader just like that. Cameron wanted us to see the Navi as a complex culture with a different way of life than our own and I think that scene really made it seem as if Jake was "superior" to them. I thought they had reason to distrust Jake and he was, in many ways, using them. I think rather than the "this is our land" speech (is it really his land?) we should have seen some sort of apology and Jake should have been accepted into their culture and fought with them but not suddenly the leader of all the Navi. Just my two cents. Otherwise I really enjoyed the movie.

Ever heard of seamless branching?
That many lossless audio tracks might add up a bit, though. And Blu-Rays are 25GB single-layer, 50GB dual-layer, not 100.
You could have different edits with seamless branching that were like each of those editions, but don't forget that the SEs, and the DVDs, were cleaned up and coloured in different ways, so even a shot that hasn't been otherwise tweaked with new effects will be different in each edition.

I still think the best solution is the Phantom Editor's "Kamino system" dub over the Zam death scene.

I've actually already tried all that. It still ends up squashed. i really have no clue why this is happening just because I started editing with DVCPRO50 but switched to prores422 half way through.
I'm really not liking the idea of having to start from scratch AGAIN. There must be a simple way to fix this.

The audio might add up but the mono and stereo mixes are only a few channels and wouldn't even add up to the size of a 5.1 mix.
Besides, They could lose the 97SE And I wouldn't care too much, as long as the theatrical is there.
Would do this myself but I only have the blu-ray and no way of ripping it. I can't do the effects but I can at least splice all the scenes back in the movie.

Can someone either send me the rapidshare link for the NTSC DL DVD or explain to me via PM how fanedit.info's download's work?
As with most downloads, you receive a DLC that you use with Jdownloader or whatever download manager you use.
All right thanks. I realized that I had to extract the rar first and then import it into jdownloader. For some reason STuffit Expander wasn't extracting it and I just had to get a different rar extractor. I'm used to torrents but I got a 30 day rapidshare trial for some other edits. Its working now.
