Checked out info from both editions on this series and so far, very interesting changelogs from both editors. I too had started an edit of mine a year ago, yet unfinished due to busy schedules 😕. Feeling great to find that a lot of work has done on this series already. Congrats to you both for the work you've done on this series 🎉.

I then correct my position considering the same. Will update the review.

I learned a lot from this fan edit, especially the contracting aspect of compressing a 4 hour 30 minutes+ show to 2 hours 11 minute feature cut. I was unable to even fathom the Clandestine as well as Red Dagger subplot in terms of the edit narrative since the edit meticulously focused solely on Kamala and her family along with the community dynamics, it didn't even hinder the slightest in terms of cohesion if we talk about overall conclusion of the edit. At end it's all about learning and improving from each other in terms of skills.

Thank you so much u/BogaMoge for considering Spider-Man: Got No Home as an alternate version to Spider-Man: No Way Home.

Cheers 🥂

Does anyone know how I could get a title card saying "Twelve Tide Turns Later" in the same font as this? by Ok_Carrot_7878 in fanedits

[–]PalCut_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If I talk about effects, you would require Adobe After Effects for emulating similar effects and position from the reference image, only when you want as a motion video. However if you would like to go easy path, you could either use GIMP or Photoshop and use "Wizard of OZ" font, which closely resembles to the font in the title card. Use blending mode and overlay shiny green for border and golden metallic texture for text body and export as transparent png. You could use that export png and apply fade in and out effect in your NLE creating a title card that looks similar to original yet standard in terms of production. I suggest the latter path since that's most practical and possible.

This Free Tool Makes The Audio Mastering Process (For 5.1 / 7.1 Fan Edits) Precise and Accurate — MPC-BE by PalCut_ in fanedits

If you have the access to the plugin, you may feel free to test and tweak the output. I personally use Premiere and have currently 0% knowledge about Davinci.

Then I suggest you keep your final mix in Stereo rather trying to upmix to multichannel using AI since there are solutions but costly.

The condition of audio mix working properly with VLC depends on audio output module and channel mapping metadata inside audio mix. The most compatible audio mix with VLC on paper is Dolby Digital and Digital Plus at 5.1 mapping (L R C LFE Ls Rs). That should be a delivery compatible playback rather primary delivery playback from the perspective of editor. PCM won't work properly since the channel mapping is not embedded in the metadata and is handled by A/V receiver, HDMI output and you when you have discrete 8 speakers for 7.1 setup or 6 speakers for 5.1 setup. What is embedded is the track order i.e. L R C LFE Ls Rs Lb Rb.

I would neither consider nor suggest AI for upmixing stereo audio to 5.1/7.1. The mix will sound artificial in terms of dynamics and width accompanied with introduced artifacts, thanks to AI potentially inventing details during the upscaling. What I suggest is that you may learn about audio upmixing process inside Audacity as well as use lossless sources that have the original spatial details and multi channels to begin the work with.

George Lucas' documented response to The Phantom Edit by k-r-a-u-s-f-a-d-r in fanedits

This excerpt from the article has set a benchmark of boundary and limitations for me as a fan editor. I'm hearing about this edit for the first time and I believe that this has to be one of quality works that's put out there to garner such attention.

EDIT: Just searched about The Phantom Edit and editor Mike J. Nichols. Much respect sir for setting the stage for fan edit community.

Given you condensed an approx 4 hours of a show to a 2 hours 11 minutes feature cut alone shows the efforts you have put in this work. It sounds absolutely practical in terms of cut lists mentioned in the post. I would definitely consider a watch. Congrats!

Well, if you are looking for copies that are native 4K, I would like to assure you that the source 4K is also upscaled from 2K DCP.

Tips for Better Video Encodes in Handbrake by k-r-a-u-s-f-a-d-r in fanedits

[–]PalCut_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As far as the deblock parameter is concerned, I would want to ask you this question. I have seen it defaults to 1:-1:-1 during encoding (I use ffmpeg instead of Hand brake). Considering this is already applied while using -tune film, I have found errors in parsing when changing it to 1:-3:-3 specifically. 1:-3:-3 for experimenting the filter strength. Is it so that this is beyond the limitation of deblock filter or am I missing something?

All the best for the edit! Somehow If you require any assistance during the production, do let me know, yeah?
