Totally tubular, dude.

I redownloaded the ST4 part 1 file and am playing it now. Even in the first drone shot of the Hawkins Labs building, the motion is quite jaggy. I haven’t watched it all the way through so I don’t know if or when it stops.

Edit: If you step frame by frame you can see every 4th frame is duplicated.

Edit 2: I looked at some various ST files with MediaInfo and noticed that the your edit of 4 part 1 is in 30 fps but everything else is in 23.976 fps which might be the issue.

Im seeing a similar frame rate issue as in the Barb funeral in the season 4 part 1 edit. Not seen the issue that I’ve noticed in part 2

But regarding Stranger Things I don’t know how a similar approach could work

I was just thinking about how since a good chunk of each season has distinctly separate plot lines following different groups of people. Scenes from each could be broken up or consolidated quite a bit without breaking continuity. Though transitions would be a bit of a headache.

I watched the first 3 edits just in time for you to release your season 4 edits, so that’s good.

I noticed that season 1 in terms of pacing doesn’t seem to work as well as the next two when you cut it down. I have to figure the writing that season was more episodic feeling than the next two which do feel movie-like.

I noticed in the season 2 edit the scene of Barbara’s funeral, the framerate seems to be stuttery.

When you were working out how you’d cut these down, did you wind up moving much or anything around from what they were in vanilla? Or was it just straight forwardly trimming things?
