I’ve actually decided to trim a handful of scenes a little more, in response to my son’s criticism that “they talk for too long” at some points. So, I’ll finish V2 as soon as I can, and I’ll upload that.
Slow down the pace of TROS by including cutaways to a grandfather telling the story of the movie to his interrupting grandson, a la The Princess Bride.
Grandpa: Hux doesn’t get eaten by turtles at this time.
Grandson: What?
Grandpa: The turtle doesn’t get him. I’m explaining to you because you look nervous.
Grandson: I wasn’t nervous. Maybe I was a little bit concerned, but that’s not the same thing.
Synopsis: When an alien invasion force releases all of Earth’s monsters, Godzilla must battle his way through a high-octane gauntlet of his greatest foes - with the help of a few unexpected friends.
Godzilla: Final Wars is the third in the series of Godzilla edits I’ve done for my six-year-old son, albeit the second I actually completed. I’ve sat on it for a while because I worried it might still be a bit too intense, or even too heavily edited down, but after rewatching it with some distance, I’m actually quite proud of this edit.
As always, the aim is to create a film that’s suitable for a child to watch - and Godzilla: Final Wars was not intended to be a family-friendly movie like the Showa Era movies I’ve previously edited. There’s a lot of sleazy content suitable only for adults in this one, and it’s on purpose, not just a result of being the product of its time. Despite having my favourite monster costumes of any Godzilla movie, and some of the best fight choreography, I actually firmly dislike the theatrical cut of this movie; it’s supposed to be a celebration of the Godzilla franchise, but instead, it feels almost disdainful towards it at many times. I wanted to change that, and make an edit that was a love letter to the whole lot of them. The movie is cut down to a frenetic 45 minutes of excitement, thrills, explosions and delightfully campy performances.
Project goals:
Overall changes to accomplish these goals:
Changelog:
- Gave myself a vocal cameo in the movie… somewhere.
- Trimmed down the scene of Godzilla being buried in the Antarctic.
- Cut the narration explaining mutants and the Earth Defence Force.
- Cut the Gotengo Vs Manda fight. Sorry, Manda.
- Rescored the opening credits with the classic Godzilla theme music.
- Cut the human fight scene and the scene of pseudophilosophical rambling that follows.
- Because of the cut scenes, the movie now goes Godzilla in the ice -> opening credits -> Ozaki being given his bodyguard assignment.
- Cut the weirdly sexist introduction to Dr Otonashi.
- Cut the technobabble about M-base DNA.
- Cut the interview with the UN Secretary General.
- Cut the Shobijin’s references to mutant blood.
- Cut the scene of the Secretary General’s plane exploding.
- Cut the questionable intro to New York City with the black man and the cop. Used stock footage of the Empire State Building to smooth the scene transition.
- Cut the people being hit by broken glass and the random people in the building when Rodan flies off.
- Truncated the scene of the EDF detecting the monster attacks.
- Cut the closeups of terrified screaming people in Sydney, Shanghai, and Okinawa.
- Cut the scene of the Sydneysiders being eaten by Zilla.
- Cut Kumonga stepping on a single trailer in Arizona, and the scene of the guy in the trailer that precedes it.
- Trimmed the kid playing with toys in Vancouver to make him less repugnant.
- Made Grandpa Taguchi quicker to lower his rifle when he meets Minilla.
- Trimmed the crew of the ship fighting Kamakuras.
- Cut the cars driving all over the place and the footsoldiers scrambling around when Ebirah attacks the refinery.
- Sped up the sequence of the EDF soldiers arming up, and simplified the general’s orders to them.
- Tightened the pacing on the fight between the EDF and Ebirah.
- Cut the rooftop scene, so the UFO immediately beams up the main characters.
- Simplified the explanation about the rogue planet Gorath hitting Earth.
- Cut the Secretary General’s speech to the UN, the radio interview with X, and the panel discussion about whether the Xiliens are real.
- Cut the entire subplot about the Secretary General being replaced with a Xilian.
- Cut the scenes of the Xiliens discussing their evil plans and trickery.
- Cut the discussion about Gorath being a hologram to simplify the plot, since it shows up later in the movie for real anyway.
- Cut the scenes of Ozaki and co. contacting Captain Gordon. Now he’s just there as one of the main characters.
- Cut Dr Otonashi’s sister being discovered by the Xilien Body-Snatchers and subsequent fight scene.
- Extensively trimmed down the interview with the Xilien leaders, including removing the Body Snatchers stuff and framing/rotoscoping out the Secretary General’s body. Now, the interview starts and X immediately shoots the Xilien commander and takes control.
- Tamed down the Xilien leader getting shot, including replacing the gunshot with a Star Wars stun blaster sound effect.
- Simplified X’s speech about why he wants to take over Earth.
- Cut all the EDF soldiers arriving and getting mind-controlled. Instead, X uses his powers against the protagonists, briefly fights Ozaki, then vanishes, thanks to a new line I sentence-mixed for X.
- Cut the fight scene with all the EDF soldiers.
- Cut the dull as dishwater motorbike chase scene.
- Trimmed X’s speech before and after releasing the monsters.
- Cut the scene inside the EDF ship that Anguirus destroys.
- Trimmed Ozaki and co.'s entrance to the Gotengo, including cutting Gordon’s speech and Ozaki’s conversation.
- Simplified Gordon’s plan to wake Godzilla, including cutting the flashback. The flashback is actually a nice bit of storytelling in the theatrical cut but it sadly doesn’t gel with the rest of this edit.
- Cut the farewell scene before the Gotengo powers up.
- Trimmed the Gotengo launch sequence, to pick up the pace and remove the soldier screaming.
- Slightly trimmed the two guys talking at the South Pole, retaining their fun comedy dynamic, and cut Godzilla destroying the building they’re in so that they’re not killed off.
- Added a shot of Godzilla firing his Atomic Breath Blast at Gigan to make sense of some confusing cinematography, using a shot cut from earlier in the scene, and added the correct sound effect.
- Trimmed Gigan’s death to make it a little less graphic that he got his head blown to smithereens, including dubbing in Gigan roaring in defeat as he falls down.
- Trimmed X’s reaction to Godzilla, including cutting Gordon’s Skype call.
- Trimmed the Gotengo leaving the South Pole.
- Trimmed the Zilla fight and completely rescored it with a track from the Tristar Godzilla movie.
- Cut the Kumonga fight scene. Sorry, Kumonga.
- Cut the monsters being beamed down each time; we know they were beamed down, we don’t need to see it happen. Similarly, trimmed down X’s pointless commentary before and after each fight, so we just see his entertaining reactions.
- Trimmed the intro to the Kamacuras fight.
- Added electricity crackling sound effect to Kamacuras’ death, and cut shot of him being stabbed through the midsection.
- Trimmed down the conversation between Taguchi and his grandfather about why Godzilla is destroying the city.
- Trimmed down the conversation between Ozaki and Dr Otonashi, and reordered some dialogue to set up Otonashi summoning Mothra in the new ending.
- Cut a single shot of King Caesar writhing in pain after falling on Anguirus’ spikes.
- Cut scene of the Gotengo shooting the UFO’s drone things and the Independence Day kamikaze run to get its shields down. Now they just crash into it and disembark.
- Cut the Xiliens killing the Gotengo’s crewmembers.
- Cut insert shot of Hedorah’s eye getting impaled.
- Cut X’s monologue about why the Xiliens need the humans for food. We can just assume it’s because, y’know, they’re hungry, needing food doesn’t require that much of an explanation.
- Rescored the Godzilla vs Monster X fight with the track “Genesis” by Justice, which samples the original Godzilla theme.
- Reordered scenes and shots to create a new story for the climax and ending, to imply Dr Otonashi summons Mothra to help Godzilla when he becomes overwhelmed by fighting both Monster X and Gigan.
- Cut X’s monologue about mutants and M-base etc.
- Cut X’s Emperor Palpatine moment and Ozaki turning into a “kaizer” to fight his friends.
- Trimmed Gigan being decapitated by his own blades; now their impact just irritates him and he turns around.
- Cut the fight between Ozaki and X, as well as cutting the other human characters shooting their way out of the spaceship. Now, Godzilla fires his atomic breath blast at the ship, and in the confusion the humans escape, while Ozaki defeats X with a single impressive jump-kick.
- Removed the Gotengo pilot being injured; Dr Otonashi immediately pilots the ship during the escape.
- Truncated Ozaki’s arrival to the Gotengo bridge.
- Cut the entire transformation of Monster X into King Ghidorah and the Godzilla vs Ghidora fight. I know, right? I’m surprised too. But by this point in the movie the villain is defeated and the story is over, and this scene is just an unnecessary second climax after the actual climax. It does nothing but detract from the narrative, plus, it’s frankly quite a boring drudgery to sit through, especially compared to the exciting fight that precedes it. In an ideal world, Godzilla would fight Ghidora at the end instead of Monster X, but that’s not how they made the movie, so Monster X is what we’ve got. Now, Godzilla destroys Monster X using the ending to the Ghidora fight.
- Added the original Godzilla theme when Godzilla watches Monster X (nee King Ghidora) explode.
- Truncated everyone disembarking the Gotengo.
- Removed the Secretary General from the scenes after the climax.
- Cut Gordon rushing over to greet Dr Otonashi’s sister.
- Cut the end credits. Apologies to everyone who made the movie; to me, cutting the credits is a sin, but my five-year-old doesn’t want to sit through four and a half minutes of scrolling text.
Create a Kylo Ren centric episode of Visions using footage from Martin Scorsese’s Silence (2016).
Spoilers:
He’s even wearing high waisted black pants with no shirt in the scene where he’s awkwardly killed.
This sounds like the kind of edit I’d do.
Thanks! It’s probably my favourite fanedit that I’ve done, honestly.
This sounds rather interesting.
Thanks! I’m re-exporting the file (I accidentally turned an audio layer off before exporting and didn’t realise until two music cues were missing when I watched it back), so I’ll upload it to my folder of available fanedits once that’s done.
Let me temper things by saying that due to a couple things it will likely be released after 12/20, but should still roughly coincide with the anniversary in principle, if not technically. At least there’s no Episode 10 to get it out before!
Episode X: The Search For More Money
I want a version with HAL’s Labyrinth of Evil alternate ending.
I’ve thought about doing an alternate version using NFBisms’ New Canon Cut, to tie the ROTS parts better to the TCW parts. But I’d want to replace the lower res TCW segments with HD sources if I was going to do any kind of V2, and that’s a lot of work, so I’d say it’s probably not on the cards any time soon.
If someone else wanted to do it, though, that would be awesome. This is already largely built on a previous edit by someone else, so, keep the daisy chain going.
When I watched the rots order 66 ultra cut it feels like the end of the clone wars. When different events have occurred in the clone wars siege of Mandalore arc like battle of Yerbana/skirmish aboard the tribunal and in 22-25 micro series the attack on coruscant actually gave impact on its daily lives and how growing up in the clone wars era. It looks like when it came to transition of padme’s apartment in the seeds of rebellion it looks like transition to fade black to 3PO giving drinks to senator and fade black to palpatine talks to a anakin about more sensitive to such things and fades out to republic gunships arriving with captured maul and his shadow collective on Mandalore and commander Tano having to go to the meeting after Ashoka saying that your people need like a new kind of leader/ other things transitions to Jedi council meeting of Obi-wan that has engaged Grievous on utapau which I don’t want to spoil. Overall, this has been a great piece after all.
I’m glad you enjoyed it, and thank you for taking the time to write out your comments!
Well, after consulting with a couple people via PM, this does change things.
I’m announcing a new goal (goal, mind you) to release V2 in time for the film’s 12/20 anniversary. Failing that, Christmas. You never know, and I don’t plan to skimp, so I won’t be leaving something out and have to do a V2.1 or anything.
Thanks, Master Lawdog!
Synopsis: When a cartoonist gets a job designing monsters for a new Godzilla theme park, he realises his employers aren’t what they seem - and soon, he finds himself joining forces with Godzilla and Anguirus to save the Earth from the terrifying Gigan and King Ghidorah…
This is the second of my Godzilla movie edits for my now six-year-old son. As with my previous edit, I’ve aimed to give more time to the monsters by cutting the filler, as well as tighten the plot and remove things that don’t fly in kids’ movies any more - a difficult feat this time around, with so many characters smoking throughout the movie. The seventies were a different time.
The theatrical cut of Godzilla Versus Gigan is presented as a darker movie than Godzilla Versus Megalon, which was an interesting decision, because the raw footage they have is clearly just as offbeat. The big thing I wish I could change is the music. They really love the Godzilla theme in this one, and it’s the most harrowing dirge they could make it. Which is a shame, because the footage it’s paired with is a lot of goofy fun - soccer kicking boulders, Godzilla dancing around, Anguirus hanging from Ghidorah’s tail by his teeth, all sorts of silliness. Unfortunately, even the Criterion Collection only has the audio in stereo, and to my knowledge there’s no 5.1 source available at all, so I couldn’t remove the music and replace it with something more fitting unless I remove the audio completely and manually replace every single sound effect.
Like its predecessor, I’ve cut the movie down to a lean hour of campy seventies family-friendly fun, keeping intact the excitement and danger of the humans’ story while toning down the parts that haven’t aged well.
Overall changes:
Changelog:
- Extensively colour corrected the monster fights throughout. They’ve visually very dark and muted, occasionally to the point where you can barely see what’s happening; I made them brighter and more colourfully vibrant.
- Cut the opening credits. Yeah, I know, but the whole sequence is just static shots of control panels, which is boring to a five-year-old.
- Simplified the conversation between the editor and the protagonist.
- Simplified the conversation between the protagonist and his girlfriend, including removing him calling her a bitch.
- Cut the establishing shots of the Japanese-language signs at the construction site.
- Simplified the explanation of the Godzilla theme park, including cutting mention of intending to destroy Monster Island - it’s just too villainous for so early in the movie, and would be confusing to a small kid that the main hero of the movie would then be happy to work for them.
- Cut a very long pause of dead air as the cartoonist’s girlfriend opens the door and enters the room, using a zoom-and-pan effect to mask the jump cut.
- Truncated the conversation at the drawing desk and removed her calling him a pig.
- Truncated the sequence of the cartoonist getting off the bus.
- Cut most of the scene of the cartoonist wandering aimlessly around the room with the security camera, but left the gag where he bumps over the world globe.
- Added comedy “bonk” sound effect when the cartoonist hits his head.
- Simplified the conversation with the chairman.
- Trimmed the shots of the cartoonist walking, truncated and simplified the conversations with and introduction to the “bandits”, and trimmed down the scene with the girl’s brother in the Godzilla Tower control room.
- Added a comedic music sting when the “bandit” reveals his “gun” was actually a corn-on-the-cob, using music from the 1979 Doraemon cartoon series.
- Cut the shot of the tape being retrieved from the storage locker. Its placement makes it too confusing, but there’s nowhere else to insert it.
- Cut long shot of the characters sitting around listening to the godawful screeching tape noise.
- Used the Japanese dub to remove Godzilla’s dialogue and reinstate his original Japanese speech balloons, adding English translations beneath. I didn’t use direct translations, but instead tried to convey the core idea using simple language for children to read.
- Sped up the elevator climbing the tower, and removed the cartoonist entering the wrong door first.
- Truncated the cartoonist looking around the room.
- Simplified the main characters’ conversation when they decide to investigate the bad guys, while leaving intact as much as possible them comedically eating bananas.
- Significantly shortened the montage of the main characters walking into buildings to do research.
- Simplified the main characters explaining what they found out, removing discussions about being headquartered in Switzerland and weirdly xenophobic comments about the chairman’s nationality.
- Trimmed down the driving sequence and walking up to the house, and removed the filler conversation in the car.
- Truncated the conversation in the house, including minimising the discussion of death and dying to try and soften the delivery of the twist a little bit.
- Trimmed the scene of the villains equipping the new tape.
- Trimmed the military montage leading up to Anguirus.
- Trimmed how long Anguirus is shot at before swimming away; there’s a lot of meaningless shots of dust clouds and a child could conceivably mistake the very long final shot for Anguirus being killed.
- Cut the villains talking about no longer needing the scientist character.
- Removed the scene where the villain gives the cartoonist cigarettes, and the discussion about the cigarettes containing a tracking device when the villains follow him and find the main characters’ apartment. Now it just looks like the villain was suspicious and followed him.
- Added upbeat music when the main character’s girlfriend beats up the villains, to break the mood a bit. Music taken from the 90s Pokémon anime.
- Removed the main characters talking about the brother’s lighter to the police.
- Added extra Godzilla dialogue balloons when Godzilla and Anguirus leave Monster Island, explaining that they’re hearing the tape noise again and are going to go and destroy it, in as simple language as possible.
- Cut the villains technobabble and waffling, leaving just the key mic drop sentence before they summon Gigan and King Ghidorah.
- Trimmed down the lead to Gigan and King Ghidorah appearing, and added a soundtrack: Gigan’s Theme, with a bar of King Ghidorah’s Terror mixed in when Ghidorah appears.
- Trimmed down Godzilla and Anguirus swimming, and swapped the first establishing shot with the final shot, which works much better as an establishing shot.
- Truncated the characters scrambling through the trees and climbing the stairs.
- Replaced the unsuitably harrowing music when the girlfriend saves the brother with funny triumphant music.
- Cut the conversation following the cartoonist’s capture.
- Truncated the characters’ decision to rescue the others.
- Simplified the villains talking about their home planet. Now it’s implied they’re the ones who polluted it themselves. Also removed sinister references to wearing the protagonists’ bodies as “uniforms.”
- Truncated the lights being switched back on and the reveal of the cockroach shadows during the storm.
- Reordered scenes to make the cockroach reveal scene one continuous scene.
- Added establishing shot of military base.
- Truncated the second stock footage montage of the military getting into position.
- Slightly shortened one of Ghidorah’s cries that goes on for too long when he approaches Godzilla Tower.
- Shortened some of Ghidorah’s city destruction that goes on a bit too long and gets a bit too samey.
- Again, patched over the monster dialogue with the Japanese dub when Godzilla and Anguirus are swimming, and rewrote the dialogue balloons. Also truncated how long we watch them swimming.
- Removed jump cut when Godzilla arrives at the power plant.
- Tightened up the fight scene between the four monsters at the power plant, clarifying the changing power levels between the two sides, improving the pacing, and removing a lot of filler shots of nondescript smoke and flame.
- Truncated the scene of inflating the balloon and tying the rope to escape Godzilla Tower.
- Added a comedic balloon pop sound when the balloon pops to break the mood of the dreary music.
- Changed the gunshot sound to a Star Wars stun blaster sound.
- Removed reference to killing the main characters.
- Truncated line about killing Godzilla, so now the villain just says to “get” him. It’s a “camera tracks in for the villain to say it” moment that works better without the extended ramble about killing Godzilla anyway.
- Added “bonk” sound effect when Gigan gets hit by the boulder when Godzilla and Anguirus soccer-kick it at him.
- Added a brief establishing shot of the military base to show where the main characters are when we cut to them speaking to the general.
- Cut Godzilla’s shoulder being cut and spraying blood - Gigan crashing into him is repeated immediately without the blood anyway, plus, I already used this footage in my Godzilla Versus Megalon edit, where it was repurposed by the filmmakers. It actually repeats four times here, and I’ve cut it down to two, to show Ghidorah and Gigan driving Godzilla towards Godzilla Tower.
- Shortened how long the lasers blast Godzilla for. It goes on too long and it’s dreary.
- Tightened up the shots of Gigan blocking Anguirus from helping Godzilla, removing a weird tracking shot that messes with the scene geography.
- Truncated how long it takes the humans to run over to the base of the tower.
- Held on the “TNT” label slightly longer to give children the chance to read it.
- Moved Godzilla falling into the ferris wheel to after the humans load the elevator, to imply Godzilla has been dodging lasers instead of just laying on the ground getting blasted the entire time.
- Created a new shot of Godzilla being hit by a laser and falling down, by compositing two different shots together, to explain why he’s now standing in one shot and on the ground the next.
- Removed a redundant second shot of Godzilla being blasted by more lasers when Anguirus is watching, so Anguirus is spurred to Godzilla’s aid faster.
- Cut Anguirus spraying blood at the camera. It’s highly unexpected and throws me a bit even as an adult watching it.
- Completely reworked the explosion that destroys Godzilla Tower. Using Premere Pro CC’s Optical Flow tool, I extended the shot of the elevator door opening in front of the villains, replaced the lackluster music* with Tchaikovsky’s 1812 Overture and mickey-moused it to the action, and dubbed in new explosion sounds sourced from appropriate-era 70s action movie stock, all climaxing on the explosions being set off by the villains and Godzilla Tower’s head exploding.
- *I actually love the musical score for this scene and think it builds up to the climax really well. However: there’s no clear musical payoff for the build up, and there’s no way to get the music to match the on-screen action. So I kept as much of the build up as I could before segueing into the Tchaikovsky.
- Trimmed the pointlessly long frame hold on the cockroach alien.
- Reordered and trimmed the shots of the monsters post-explosion and Anguirus’ attempt to sneak past Ghidorah, to better establishing the geography of the scene and convey what’s happening.
- Cut Gigan kicking Godzilla when he’s down. Yes, it’s kind of funny as an adult to see Gigan kick Godzilla in the head so un-magically, but it’s also a very repeatable action for a child to innocently copy and also kind of a downer with the depressing music that plays.
- Trimmed the fight scene a bit once Godzilla wakes back up again, so Godzilla has the upper hand now instead of continuing to take such a beating.
- Added more Godzilla dialogue balloons when he and Anguirus have a conversation that goes unusually untranslated in the theatrical cut.
- Added the atomic breath blast sound when Godzilla fires his atomic breath blast.
- Trimmed down how many times Godzilla and Anguirus slam into Ghidorah and stomp on his head once he’s down. Godzilla’s meant to be heroic in this movie, not a bully.
- Added the track Godzilla’s Victory from the 2014 Legendary movie when Godzilla finally bests Ghidorah and sends him and Gigan fleeing. The fight doesn’t feel like it’s reaching a conclusion with the theatrical music cue, besides which, Godzilla’s Victory is one of the coolest and most awe-inspiring bits of music from the franchise.
- Cut the main character’s brother saying the villains “did what they had to do” at the end. Um… no, they didn’t have to?
- Used the opening of the finale from Wagner’s Parsifal to transition into the ending song, instead of a long stretch of silence as Godzilla and Anguirus meander up the hill.
Cool! I’d read this. I’ve been meaning to read Darth Plagueis for ages.
I watched a bit of the workprint today. With some distance, I think there’s a bunch of things that don’t quite come together well enough, and some transitions that stick out. I’ll revise them if I get the chance to do so; I don’t have much time but I’m also not in any rush to get this edit out there, especially since the workprint is available. It’ll happen when it happens.
I like to imagine that it’s representative of how oneness with the Force is a state of supreme peace and unity.
Ross and Hayden tabled at the same convention once, and there’s a photo of them together which they signed, and Hayden wrote “Glad to see that you survived!”
Here’s the Jedi Voices scene with only one Sors line.
(I’ve also exported the “two lines” version without the added dialogue, so if anyone wants to add their own Jedi voices, PM me.)
I’m just bumping this to get opinions/consensus before I export it properly for Hal; I think it got lost in the shuffle.
I think this could be really cool.
Ah, I hadn’t noticed the cut. I thought it was an audio only edit.
Doctoring the line “You… are his granddaughter” sounds good but in practice I don’t think the footage is there to make it work as well as it’d need to. Kylo delivers the “Palptine” line offscreen and what we do see doesn’t match.
What’s wrong with how amobex edited it?
This is the first I’ve heard of this project; if it’s still around, I’d like a link.
That’s how Ascendant handles it already.
Oh! Well, in that case, uh, carry on, as you were. Very good very good.
I’ve held off rewatching Ascendant so that V2 will be as fresh of an experience as possible, so I was bound to make this goof eventually.
In the Redux ideas thread, amobex showed some clips they’ve edited. I really like the line change in the second one - “You’re his granddaughter,” instead of “You’re a Palpatine.” As Sade says in the thread, it sounds less like a forum speculation thread and more like how an actual human being speaks.
Thoughts about its use in Ascendant?
Accidentally lick a postage stamp that induces an altered state of mind, and try to produce a serious edit.
Anyway, break into Lucasfilm’s archives to obtain TRoS deleted scenes, but give up and come home with only NSYNC’s deleted AotC cameos.
I’m cracking up at this.
I’m trying to get my hands on oohteedee’s 4K OT restorations, but it doesn’t seem like he has an active presence on this site any more.
Here’s the Jedi Voices scene with only one Sors line.
(I’ve also exported the “two lines” version without the added dialogue, so if anyone wants to add their own Jedi voices, PM me.)
That’s a huge improvement imo! Personal preference, but I might make the new line just a hair softer, and add a touch more reverb. But it sounds really, really good right now!
Thank you! I messed around with volume and reverb a bit, but if it’s not perfect (and let’s be honest, it was a bit of a rush job after I’d done the actual editing) then I’m happy to let other people tinker with it.
(I’m assuming the audio going completely screwy at 1:10 was just an accident 😉).
Whoops! Yeah, I must have messed up a clip somewhere on the timeline. I’ll fix that before I do a final export.
