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.

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.

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.

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? I lost my old copy of Revisited

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.

This looks great. Would love for someone to torrent and PM me. I have too much trouble with RS and Newsgroups

Totally agree but you could do that with just about anything

I use Mac OS X Leopard (10.5), because I need to use Final Cut for school (or so I was told when I bought the computer - still haven't touched Final Cut).

I also have Windows 7 installed via Boot Camp, which I like very much, and use for anything I can't use OS X for.

I don't really take a side.  I like OS X a lot, it's very easy to use, but it doesn't have the wide range of programs/applications for it that Windows does.  If I could do everything I can do in Windows on OS X, I would.

But Windows 7 is pretty awesome ...

This, except I use Snow Leopard (10.6) and I use Final Cut all the time.

How many signatures did the old petition get?

Over 70,000. The first 10,000 or so came very quickly because lots of major sites were promoting the petition actively.

crap, that actually disheartens me a bit. It'll take a lot to exceed those numbers.

I've encoded the film and deleted scenes to Prores422, and while the main movie is fine, the deleted scenes are enlarged and take up the entire screen (whereas with the main movie, there is letterboxing).

This did not happen with DVCPRO50, and the original M2Vs were the right size in premiere.

I'm confused!

ProRes is just better quality I believe. I think it has better color fidelity but don't take my word for it. I also know it preserves timecode and I'm not sure if DVCPRO50 does. ProRes is only available with FCS because it's a special format designed for pro editors, especially when working with HD (its great for SD too). As for your deleted scenes issue, I'm not sure what the issue is. Did you check anamorphic widescreen?

Just went over the scenes on the Blu-Ray. You'll need someone with quite a bit of After Effects prowess. Even where it's not obvious, there are little things that need to be done, like adding the silhouettes of those massive background buildings in the Kirk and George as kids scene. You would also need to change Kirk's line "Hey Johnny" in the finished film to "Hey George" possibly using dialogue from another child actor in some other movie. The location titles on Rura Penthe would have to be cropped out and then remade to match the rest of the movie (might be wrong on this one). The short scene where the Klingons capture the Narada is almost unusable because they all speak in Romulan, and they do that nowhere else in the movie.

Happy New Year Ady! Really enjoyed the clip. Everything looked so crisp and colorful especially the Falcon's blue engines.

Yoda should of been in the PT, but he shouldn't of had the kind of screen time he had.  Yoda was the head of the Jedi Council, thats pretty important.

I see no reason why we need a digital Yoda in the OT.  If you think about it, why did Yoda need to be CG in the PT?  Cause of pointless duels.  He should of been the same freakin puppet from the OT when he was in the Temple. 

The idea of a CG Yoda was a good one, but CG isn't good enough yet. 

 

It is weird that we go from CG to puppet. Mabey someday, CG will take a huge leap and GL will put a consistent, real looking CG Yoda in all 5 movies. 

 

I know he's the head of the JC. But how does he impact the story? In other words, you couldn't take Padme, Kenobi, or Anakin out because they're tied directly to the storyline.

But Yoda? For the amount of screen time he has, his connection to the story is really weak.

I don't think they should of taken him out, I think they should have give him something more important to do.In TPM he served as a counter to Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan in the training of Anakin but so did Windu. 

Hi, Final Cut guy here. Don't try editing the M2Vs. Final Cut is an amazing editor but it's a bit finicky about what you put into it. To Balance Quality with Editability I'd recommend you use MPEG Streamclip to convert the m2Vs into either ProRes422 (If you have FCS) or DVCPRO50 (If you are using Express). turn the quality slider all the way up.

DV looks like shite (a good example would be the Phantom editor's DVDs) and those Photo and Animation formats are slow and hard to edit

Hope that helps.

Btw welcome to the Mac club :)

Honestly, I think ROTS ending montage was excellent and proves Lucas is at his best when no dialogue is involved.

If anything, that analysis depressed me. If the film fails at such a fundamental level of story and characters then how can it be fixed?

haha!  I'm just not into the commercialized, marketed version of Christmas.  I never really liked them as a kid, either.  I do like the old Grinch cartoon, though.  The Charlie Brown Christmas is great as well.

What are you talking about? I thought marketing and corporate plunder was what Christmas wall all about! Anyway, cant forget about the Charlie Brown Christmas. But cmon' Silver and Gold? You gotta like Rudolph, even if it's only for the animation.
