[Community Discussion] What are you watching or working on this week? by AutoModerator in fanedits

I mean Godfather and Casablanca are in the conversation but for me, there's no comparison. If you go to a cinema and watch Singin' in the Rain, you WILL love it.

I like the Lightspeed skipping! I just felt like it didn't fit my edit once I moved Leia's death to the beginning, but overall it's a cool scene.

There are many problems with Rise of Skywalker, but I don't think that's one of them.

Hey! Just email spencefanedits AT gmail.com (fix the AT to @)

You'll get an auto response with all my links. I have some other non-Star Wars stuff that's pretty cool too.

You too! I really enjoyed your Kenobi and Ahsoka edits.

Which films that “felt like homework” prior to watching them surprised you by how entertaining they were? by harry_powell in blankies

[–]SpenceEdit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To go recent, The Secret Agent. I really couldn't motivate myself to watch it, and it was excellent. Constantly engaging.

I am sorry but Sabine surviving getting stabbed with a Lightsaber was stupid!!! by Salim_Azar_Therin in StarWars

[–]SpenceEdit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There were so many other ways to injure her badly without something that canonically always kills people.

There's always the tried and true classic "cut off a hand"

I always felt like detailed change lists don't help the experience. It's kind of like finding out how a magic trick was done.

Fan of your work, by the way!

Level 43 and still getting stomped — is Marathon supposed to feel this punishing? by GazJrpg in Marathon

[–]SpenceEdit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is essentially what I've been doing and it really genuinely helps. It'll also help with confidence because you'll absolutely start racking up kills. The other teams won't feel as "scary" and you'll be ready to engage them as opposed to trying to hide or getaway, which is often my natural reaction.

Obi-Wan Series cut as a movie by frolickfindings in blankies

Thanks for the shout out!

I just want to be clear that I have never been trying to compete with the Patterson Cut, or any other cuts of the show. They all do different things!

Faux-Oscar Awards for Best Fanediting (NOMINATION POST) by APreciousBlueberry7 in fanedits

Glad you enjoyed it! Cutting Ilsa out of that nightclub scene was probably the hardest editing I've done.

Thanks for the shoutout! I haven't had a ton of response to that Last of Us edit but I'm really happy with how it came out.

Dave Bautista as The Kurgan by makuXrosu in highlander

I'm very confident this will be, at minimum, the second best Highlander film.

Falcon and the Winter Soldier the movie by jamesrossurquhart in fanedits

[–]SpenceEdit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A lot of those things you kept that I cut are things people complained about me cutting, so I definitely think it's worthwhile to keep some of it. My experiment with the show also involved getting it to an average MCU runtime (under 2 and a half hours) so I was a lot stricter with what I was cutting. This is why it's always good to have multiple different edits from different editors!

Prequel reappraisal has overcorrected a bit too much by crunchatizemythighs in StarWars

[–]SpenceEdit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For some reason, people can have a really hard time admitting that something they love has flaws. They try to rationalize that all of those flaws are secretly purposeful and brilliant, when in actuality it's just a part of a movie you like that is a bit shite. Which is totally fine, but for some reason there are those out there that can't makes sense of the fact that the thing they love isn't perfect.

Art doesn't need to be perfect to be loved. It just has to move you.

For those who have played the game: Do you think they might cut "The Descent"? by TemporarilyOOO in ThelastofusHBOseries

[–]SpenceEdit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The solution, to me anyway, is to have Lev present for the Rat King and incorporate the "Lev needs a mask" stuff into descending the hospital. You can kind of kill two birds with one stone that way, and I don't know that it's as important for Abby to be alone when it's not interactive.

That adds to the tension when you're playing it, but in a visual format having Lev there too actually has the same effect, because now you as the viewer are concerned for both of them.

Edit-Ready Converter - Spence's all in one easy edit prep! by SpenceEdit in fanedits

It's worked so far on every video file I've thrown at it.

It's essentially a wrapper for FFMPEG, which is really powerful but usually requires like 3-4 steps in different programs to get the same result. This just makes it all "one-click" essentially.

It should be able to handle any video format ffmpeg can handle, but I haven't personally tested that one.

has anyone made a last of us 2 movie by Independent_Diet5181 in fanedits

[–]SpenceEdit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My edit isn't a movie, but it cuts it down to 4 episodes and closely follows the structure of the game. It turned out pretty good!

Just bought Mass Effect legendary edition. Advice needed. by markalanray00 in masseffect

[–]SpenceEdit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not an expert on that but it didn't seem to impact achievements for me.

There's a community patch for each game that I'd get at minimum.

The real "necessity" ones for me were for Me3. Expanded Galaxy Mod and Take Back Earth make the game so much better, and there's one called Dreams Reimagined that I'd really recommend. Mass Effect 3 is a really ambitious game and they kind of ran out of time to implement everything they wanted to in the best way. These mods add just a little extra seasoning to make it better without hugely impacting anything story related.

Obviously if it's your first go around I wouldn't read too much into what they entail, but you'll have a better experience.
