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.

Yeah doesn't Blade Runner have like 5 cuts on one disc?

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.

This is really getting on my nerves now. The video that I'm currently editing, which I changed from being sourced from a DVCPRO50 to a Prores422 file, appears to be the wrong size. Whereas the exact same file dragged into the timeline normally is correct. In the first image is the one I changed via 'reconnect media' and as you can see, checking anamorphic 16:9 squashes the image ridiculously. The 2nd image looks correct, but the method of dragging it into the timeline just isn't an option for my project, because most of my cuts are already done!

Help! :(

You need to change the sequence from DV-PAL to Prores. Change the compressor settings, aspect ratio, and pixel aspect ratio of your sequence to match your source clips.

So, Finally got to watch this. I have to got to say, I really enjoyed a lot of it but I felt too much remained unchanged. The Wiliams score has really got to go, completely, for this the work, It's just too familiar and doesn't feel right. Vader is inconsistent, i LOVED the effects and most of the new dialogue but it's completely at odds with the original dialogue still included, which is mannered and reserved. I think Vader and possibly 3PO ought to be entirely redubbed. The thing is, I enjoyed the new stuff: The Cantina, the new music, the twin suns scene. But too much of it remains the same. Also, the gore was inconsistent, I think we needed to see more throughout the movie, overall I felt there was too much talking and not enough badassery. The Troops scene also needs to be cut shorter IMO and the stormtrooper needs to be redubbed or his voice needs to be modulated. I enjoyed the inclusion but it felt like it was from another movie with all the shaky cam effects and referencing the camera.

Overall, nice try. I'm not too familiar with Grindhouse movies but I get the idea, I just think you need to go further because it still feels like A New Hope a little cut up with a few cheesy scenes thrown in.

can someone PM me the rapidshare link? fanedit.info isn't working for me.

Perfect Blu-Ray for Star Wars 77

BD1- 1080p Theatrical Cut, 1997 SE, Ultimate Cut with seamless branching

Visual Commentary with several people involved (Including GL I guess but I dont particularly like listening to him), including concept sketches, storyboards, outtakes etc.

Visual Fan "Geek" commentary with major industry people. JJ Abrams? Kevin Smith? Kyle Newman? Simon Pegg? Dave Filoni?

1.0 Lossless theatrical mono, 2.0 lossless theatrical stereo, 4.1 lossless 6-track mix, 5.1 lossless 97 mix, 7.1 lossless remastered Blu mix

BD2-Extras!

Deleted Scenes- EVERYTHING including the Luke and Biggs scenes and the original Jabba and Cantina scenes. With or without introductions by GL

Several minidocs- editing, sound, scoring, characters, how things changed from the original ideas, woes on set and budgetary problems, technology and spaceships, practical effects 101, making the ultimate cut etc.

Empire of Dreams doc or something similar. It would be nice to see a similar doc for each film.

Some kind of unnecessary game that is barely playable with a BD remote

Some kind of unnecesary BD-Live tie in to SW.com

I'd want something similar for each movie

I don't see the point of all those legacy soundmixes. Give me the original mono and stereo and a remastered 5.1 mix and I'm good.

The Japanese BDs I've seen which were 4:3 were pillarboxed. (DBK and CardCaptor Sakura)

Yeah, the Disney BDs of older movies even allow you to fill in the pillarbox with pretty designs so it's definitely 4:3 in a 16:9 image.

The one on the left is correct. However, you need to change your sequence's settings to 16:9. Always make sure your sequence and your clips are in the same format. What you should get is something that looks like the right one but with a 16:9 "box" enclosing it instead of a square one.

I can't walk you through it because I don't have FCS installed on my notebook atm. Right click the sequence and one of the options should allow you to change sequence settings.

It may help to set your sequence first and the import the clips.
