Bay is actually pretty good about using real model work and real world items where it's possible. Do you think Lucas would have actually made a full scale Bumblebee and Frenzy? There wasn't one real life clone trooper suit made for filming, to my knowledge.

I would love to see what you have. The full size model you speak of, was the first leaked image I saw for the movie.

Moving along at a decent pace now. The pissing scene was a pain to cut, and took me a few hours to make decent. I'm just going to have to pretend that they're scared and sweating, not covered in alien robot "piss". Most of the other cuts have been relatively easy. I'm really enjoying the scenes as I've cut them, can't wait to see it all together. Most of the cuts are pacing cuts, or cheese-removal cuts. I'm hoping that I can get the soundtrack adjusted to my liking once I've got the video cut. Not sure if I can figure out how to get it back to a 5.1 mix anytime soon. This shit is addictive!

Cool thanks.

I think I'll try to not add to the track, and see if the pops are just from the player, not the actual output.

Yeah, I figured that one, I was just hoping that there was a way to make the pic big, and not have the editing bar slip under the picture. Ideally I could seperate the picture screen from the editing bar. Oh well. I'm progressing quite well, thanks for the help, I'm sure I'll be asking for more. I may move my questions over to my edit thread (Transformers:Resparked), to keep from filling yours up, unless you think it would benefit people to see your answers to my questions.

So I just basically combed through the film, and snipped one frame, six times, when it seemed to be going out of sync. I hope this looks good when I author it. A few more questions.

If I copy audio tracks and paste them in the "voice" line, will they be merged back in to the 5.1 mix when I dump it all out? I want some of the audio to overlap to make some of the jump cuts work easier.

If, when I make a cut, that should theoretically be a clean audio cut, ie no real sound change, and I hear a slight audio "tic" during playback, will that show up in the final file?

Also, is there a way to expand womble to fill the whole screen?

It's all over the place. It starts out fine, and then gets worse and worse. If I shift the tail end of the movie, it is screwed up in the beginning. I don't run the audio through the GOP fixer, do I(question mark. Now my freaking question mark key is broken, AHHHH!).

EDIT:
OK, so I see now that the audio track is 6 frames longer than the video track.

EDIT2:
OK, now the sound is a digital noise, not the soundtrack. Awesome.

I'll check. Do you know an accurate way to check the number of frames, other than look and guess? I'm worried that I'll sync it by sight, and that there will be a ram based delay that is throwing me off. Jeez i'm going nuts here, foaming at the mouth trying to get this edit sorted out. I can't wait to see it!

By the way, I'm sure I've told you this before, but can I just say I love your edits, and make all my friends and family watch them. Everyone who does gets ruined on their PT DVD's. I think I watch your PT more than any other SW fan edits. If I'm ever at someone's house, and any of the PT comes on, I just get the willys watching it. In short, thanks for all your hard work.

Thanks for the guide ADM, don't know where I would have started without it.

So I was working on a rough cut for my project, which was an AVI. Now I'm working on the real DVD version. I've gone through the first 2 steps, didn't need the 3rd. I've come to the 4th step and hit a wall. When I try to import the fixed video, it only loads about 30 minutes of the 140 minute movie. Any ideas? I guess I'm going to start over in the meantime.

Beavis and Butt-head: Not the Mike Judge Collection (need bonus discs!)

I have a box full of VHS Beavis and Butthead, that I recorded off of MTV, with the videos intact. Most are from re-runs, so I'm not sure what's on them. Anyway, tons of eps, recorded in SP, on a nice quality VCR. I've dumped most of them to a stand-alone DVD recorder. I've offered the use of them to several B&B preservation projects, but no one even responds. If anyone wants to filter through them, to see if there's anything on them that hasn't been released, I would be more than happy to loan them out for someone to capture. I have too many projects going on to mess with anything other than just a straight to DVD-Recorder rip. Most of the eps look great, as I really just taped them, maybe watched them once again, and then stored the tapes. I did it with the Simpsons and Ren and Stimpy too, but those have been released (for all intents and purposes).
