I’ve got a new plan of action currently. Although I haven’t finished the full 4K release I’ve noticed some fundamental mistakes in how I’ve prepared the Rebels episodes to be edited. These mistakes have resulted in a lower quality visuals then the show (by a small amount but once you notice, you can’t unnoticed it) and stereo audio. (Until a DM I honestly thought Rebels wasn’t in 5.1, so time to fix that!)
To fix this I’m going to create a V4 of this show. I’m hoping this version will become the most complete form of the edit. I’ve also gotten some DMs asking about the differences in versions. Because I haven’t been to on top of posting my full changes, I’ll be trying to change that now and begin posting here with every new episode release with it’s changes from the previous episode.
If I’m going back to reedit the show (again!) what should you expect?
- 5.1 surround sound.
- Small file sizes with no visual or audio downgrade.
- 3 Download options - 1080p, 1080p recolor and 4K recolor. (no need for compressed or uncompressed)
- Revamped intro cards including the new helmet sequence, further polish on intro text (if required) and an episode name card (not sure why I never put this in).
- Much smoother transitions between cuts (by editing in 5.1 I’ve given myself more flexibility in audio smoothing). My goal here is to make it so you don’t know anything has been cut!
- Adjustments and fixes to end credits (if required).
- Realigned subtitles (for the completed subtitles) and new subtitles (for the uncompleted subtitles).
- A new 4K version which should be of a higher visual quality.
I’m pretty excited for these changes! If you have any further suggestions please give them to me! I want to make this edit the best version of the show possible and a complete experience to watch through! 😄
