Mac OS X user needs help.
Time


can someone give me some tips please. i want to start editing stuff but would like some pointers. i can only get the film onto the hard drive if i rip the DVD and convert it using handbrake. what would be the best settings for optimum picture and sound since i don't want to lose any quality. i'll be using iMovie HD and iDVD to author the DVD. i can't add subtitles or additional audio tracks with these programs so i am using the basics.

Info: Any Godzilla fans out there?
Time

To be honest, i got so hyped up over the American Godzilla that when i saw it on the opening night, it came as a crushing disapointment which i have still not got over. i LOVE the TOHO Godzilla and was brought up on them from a early age (about 6 years old.)

i was very happy last week as i got a handful of titles which were the remastered TOHO DVD's which English subtitles!

FAN EDIT REQUEST THREAD - Post your dream Fan Edits Here!
Time

I have an idea that i would like to have a go at. i have the FX TV version of Halloween H20 which includes alternate cuts of existing scenes and i believe additional scenes. what i am thinking of doing is to incorprate this into the film using a fullscreen master (VHS preferred) and create a ulitmate cut. Gotta get hold of a VHS version first. i'm using MAC OS X and would being using iMovie to edit it. this would be my first attempt at a offical fan edit. i would be using the basic editing program and iDVD to master the DVD.

any ideas?

FAN EDIT REQUEST THREAD - Post your dream Fan Edits Here!
Time


The first ever edit i did was The Hellraiser Chronicles

here is a breif discription of what i did, take a deep breath

I took hellraiser 4 bloodlines and split it into three parts. removing the start and end credits. i used the spaceship scenes as bookends.
i used the first flashback as the first story. the creation of the puzzle box. i ended this scene with the opening scene of hellbound with the creation of pinhead.
then hellraiser one starts playing. i removed the tramp scene in the pet shop and at the end. then hellbound starts with kirsty waking up at the channard instiute. this plays through until the end. then hell on earth begins. again, this plays through until the end.
i then edit iin the middle story of bloodlines (set in the present in the building). i've tried to make this so the viewer is convinced that the building at the end of hell on earth is the same as this one.
this plays through and we finally end up in the future on the space ship where the story finishes.
this is played out so that the whole story is told by the toy maker. i can't remember his name sadly. i put this together about 6 years ago and all i had was two VCR's, the videos and an edit board which was connected between the two VCR's. the only edit options i had was fade out and fade in, with the inclusion of mixing sound in via external source.
