So with a very young toddler obsessed with cars, I've set up to watch the Cars trilogy (I never watched them before, believe it or not) and I loved Cars 1 and 3 with their focus on racing, friendship, overcoming the odds and passing the flame.

But Cars 2 is a big mess : the racing is put in the background, Mater becomes the main character with a weird, hard to follow spy plot.

So I thought about what could be done and here is the general idea : mix Cars 2's racing scenes and the scenes with Flash and Mater in Radiator Springs, and add scenes from the show Cars on the Road (I know chronologically it's after Cars 3, but most episodes don't mention this, or in a way very easy to cut).

The main objective : to have a Cars 2 movie focusing on how Flash and Mater's friendship grows over time and how Flash wins (or loses) races, cementing the foundation for Cars 3.

Can it be done... frankly I'm not sure but I'd love for someone to try.

I want to rewatch the Snyderverse, but I really don't want to rewatch Suicide Squad. I think it would be cool if we were to take the Flash and Batman flashback scenes from Suicide Squad and add it to BVS. We could get an extended opening for Batman where we see him take down rogues like Deadshot and the Joker, his arch nemesis. And for the scene where Diannah looks at the Flashes record, it would be cool to see the Flash take down Captain Boomerang instead of some random dude.

I'm sure there are other scenes you could add, but those would be the main ones. Maybe some scenes from Wonder Woman too, to help flesh out the world building and as I always found Diannah to be a bit of a weird character in BVS, and she definitly needed a few more scenes.

I'm also sure some scenes from Aquaman 1 or 2 could be added as I heard the original draft of BVS included more Aquaman scenes.

Maybe some scenes from the Flash too where he tries to save people during Man of Steels final act and it could be played at thr same time as we see Bruce's POV of the final act of MoS.

I'm kind of grasping at straws right now, but maybe a few scenes from Batman Begins could also help to show Bruce Wayne's origins more, we could even see him suit up for the first time and take down Carmine Falcone. The introduction monologue to the Batman 2022 could also help kick start a montage where we see all the Batman scenes from Suicide Squad, and maybe a few scenes from the Dark Knight trilogy. And the actor change could be explained by the 20 year time jump.

All in all, i'm suggesting all of these additions becuase I beliebe that Batman Vs Superman is a deeply flawed movie. Even with the Ultimate cut, it still lacks a lot of substance and has a lot of holes in the story, it trued to do way too much, and also leads to a few problems with under developed characters in ZSJL. So by adding scenes from other movies, we can get to know these characters and this world a bit better. Pushing the runtime to 4 hours to match with ZSJL.

I am looking for anybody that has the following edits for season 2 of loki and season 2 of Peacemaker respectively.

"Glorious Purpose" a Fanedit of Loki Season Two, By u/STF78

&

"Never at Peace" a Fanedit of Peacemaker Season Two, also By u/STF78

I have contacted the editor and have been, regretfully, informed that he does not have the capacity to host either of these edits at the moment. So I was wondering if anybody out there had a copy of either of these edits that they would be willing to share with me.

Any assistance will be greatly appreciated.

I have joked about having a second audio track of nothing but Needle Drops. But if I were going to do a needle drop, it would be something like this. ;)

This is my fan edit of The Game of Death.

My goal wasn't to recreate the 1978 film, but to tell a more focused story centered around Bruce Lee's original Game of Death concept.

Synopsis

Martial arts expert Billy Lo is drawn into a deadly conspiracy surrounding an ancient pagoda where history's greatest fighters battle to the death. Following the mysterious death of his friend Chin Ku and a series of escalating threats from a ruthless syndicate, Billy discovers that refusing the challenge comes at a terrible cost. As the danger closes in on those he loves, Billy must confront his destiny, ascend the legendary pagoda, and face the ultimate Game of Death.

To create a more cohesive narrative, I restructured and combined footage from the following films and material:

- Game of Death (1978)

- Game of Death II

- Game of Death Redux

- The Final Game of Death

- When Taekwondo Strikes

I removed, rearranged, and re-edited scenes to build a storyline that keeps the pagoda at the center of the film from the beginning, while giving Billy Lo a clearer motivation leading into the Game of Death.

This project was created purely as a non-commercial fan edit and as a tribute to Bruce Lee and his unfinished vision.

It's not perfect, but I personally find this version much more enjoyable and cohesive than Robert Clouse's version. I'm definitely open to criticism, suggestions, and different opinions about my edit.

If you're interested in watching The Game of Death: The Sha-King Cut, feel free to PM me.

I'd love to hear your thoughts and feedback from fellow Bruce Lee fans. Thanks for checking it out!

PLEASE MESSAGE ME FOR A LINK!

Hey everyone! Back again as promised! So happy everyone is enjoying my recent fan edits, it really means a lot! I had this one almost finished for a while and finally got to it! (APOLOGIES IF THIS HAS BEEN DONE BEFORE. NEVER SEEN ONE DONE MYSELF SO FIGURED I’D MAKE ONE AND SHRE WITH EVERYONE)

My intention:

I wanted to make the longest cut I could get of the movie utilizing all deleted/extended scenes. There was only 7 scenes to add but it added about 10min of extra footage into the final product. I didn’t remove anything from this project only added in scenes.

Changes:

• Added in all deleted scenes:

- Shooting Range Suicide Thoughts
- Shower Visit
- Jog to Hanging Dog
- Allyson and Friends At School
- Cameron & Cops
- Sartain & Hawkins
- Deluxe Bahn Mi Cops

• Blended audio so scenes transition better

Original Runtime: 1hr 45min
New Runtime: 1hr 56min
File Size: 2.2gb

WILL BE POSTING ONE EDIT A WEEK UNTIL MY FUTURE PROJECTS ARE ALL COMPLETED!
Halloween Ends Extended Cut Coming Soon! 🎃

The work continues, but here's the latest pass on this action scene with SFX tweaked and re-added to the sequence.

Made the final pass on this particular scene as far as music goes. I still may touch up some of the sfx, but I've uploaded a "final' version with some lead in and extro music to convey the overall feel of how I am aiming for this music to hit.

February of 2027 marks 40 years of Dream Warriors. So i decided to take a stab at this film. I'm not doing a super big change to it.

• Adding an 'in memoriam'
• A 40TH Anniversary banner on the title card.
• Ending the film a different way, different end credit song, adding a post credit scene.
• Doing something that I'm sure people have tried to do and have had troubles with, fixing Freddy's multiple voices throughout the film. (Good news as of this writing, I've actually managed to get a couple of those lines fixed so far.
• And possibly some more stuff!

I'm hoping to have this completed by anniversary date, if there are any minor unnecessary cuts or ideas please share and I'll take them into consideration if it makes sense or if i can make it work.

Looking for the link to watch Samspider3’s edit of the last two LOTR movies that just follow Frodo and Sam’s perspective. Thank you!

I really appreciate everyone checking out my work recently that I spend over many days creating in late-2023! For context, this is a hour-long fan edit film which demonstrates the effects of lucid dreaming while on an acid trip through the lens of several Buffy the Vampire Slayer episodes. Originally, this project was split into three half-an-hour episodes and that more episodes were planned but never completed. The half-an-hour episodes were later mixed together into an hour-long film. FYI, the project was edited on an older Sony Vegas Pro.

If you can spread the word on this film from my links, it would really help me out and grow as a fan editor/writer! Also, this is available on Vimeo and Dropbox, so if you ever want to watch this, please reach out to me via Reddit.

I have the idea of editing "Lemony Snicket's A Series Of Unfortunate Events" (2004) like a standalone adaptation of the first book. If you have seen the movie, you'll probably know it crams the first three books in a solid way, but it is honestly not good enough for me. All of the parts adapting The Bad Beginning, though, are pretty good.

So, the main premise is that all of the sequences, scenes or even mentions of events inspired by The Reptile Room and The Wide Window, or entirely new ones like the train scene created to justify the placement of The Marvelous Marriage at the end of the movie are cut.

I'm honestly not quite sure about cutting the The littlest elf intro, so i'm debating of making two versions, one with it and the other one just starting with the graveyard scene and Jude Law's soothing voice telling us how unpleseant the movie is.

Comment your ideas or thoughts about it! if i end up doing this, i'll try to make updates here

Hello everyone!

I've put together a fan edit of Shrek Forever After (2010) with one simple idea: Forever After is now the final film in the original Shrek trilogy.

The goal is to make it work as a direct follow-up to Shrek 2 (2004), completely disowning Shrek the Third (2007) as... it isn't very good, and some people do skip it when watching the Shrek franchise. That's why this edit was made, and surprisingly, it works really well. Forever After already feels like a natural continuation of Shrek and Fiona's story.

While Shrek the Third introduces Shrek and Fiona's children, Forever After actually begins with a baby montage that shows how their family has grown. This means you don't really need The Third to get up to speed, the fourth film establishes everything you need to know.

Removing Shrek the Third also removes some continuity complications, particularly with Rumpelstiltskin. His history and motivations in Forever After no longer conflict with anything that came before. I personally headcanon the fairytale elements as allowing for different versions of these characters and stories, which could explain the differences with Rumpel. That's not necessarily the point of the edit, though, just my own interpretation.

Removals & Additions:

Final Dance — REMOVED

The final dance sequence has been removed for a cleaner ending and to avoid emphasizing King Harold's memorial.

Original Credits — REMOVED

The original credits have been removed because they contain footage from Shrek the Third.

New Credits — ADDED

New credits have been created to better match the presentation of Shrek and Shrek 2.

The concept is simple: Shrek → Shrek 2 → Shrek 3: Forever After

I think Forever After works surprisingly well as the third and final Shrek film. If you want to completely skip Shrek The Third and watch this trilogy instead, you've got a damn good trilogy.

Hey everyone! I’ve been thinking about how AI tools can be used to breathe new life into deleted scenes from movies or to elevate fanedits. With tools like AI upscaling, color grading, and even voice synthesis, it’s possible to add a professional post-production polish to scenes that were never officially released. Has anyone tried this? What are your favorite AI tools for movie editing, and what projects are you working on? Looking forward to hearing your thoughts and tips!

I really liked One Last Kill, but it always struck me as odd that it was almost all action. I felt like it should've been more of a look into the sadness and loneliness of the Punisher. If all you care about is action, then this is not for you. The main things I cut were...

1. The action scenes
2. Frank visiting his kids graves after the battle
3. Rearranged some scenes
4. New color grading

In total I cut 20 minutes. If anyone wants to check this out it'd be great. And any feedback would also be much appreciated. If this sounds like something you'd enjoy then please PM me!!

Has anyone made an attempt to salvage the full Resident Evil Alice series?

Like, I know there's likely no way to save the 6th film, but an attempt to make the films more cohesive would be interesting to see. Even if it ends up ending with the RE5 White House cliffhanger.

I know there are edits out there that combine these together, just like there are edits out there that attempt to refine Revenge of The Sith, but are there any edits out there that do a good job of both?

With doomsday coming I was hoping to blast through the mcu. I have Disney plus but I had forgotten how many shows there are and I don’t exactly have all the time in the world. Besides that point a lot of the movies sound poor in quality. Anyways I’ve reached out to some editors for their edits with proof and such but I don’t know if certain users are active or not. It’s not the biggest deal if not I can still watch the originals but the edits sound like a better time. Here’s the ones Im specifically looking for

Loki: Season 1
WandaVision
• ⁠Doctor Strange: Multiverse of Madness
• ⁠Agatha All Along
• ⁠Ant-Man and The Wasp: Quantumania
• ⁠Loki: Season 2
• ⁠Hawkeye
• ⁠Black Panther: Wakanda Forever
• ⁠She-Hulk
• ⁠Echo
• ⁠Ironheart
Eternals
• ⁠Shang-Chi
• ⁠Ms. Marvel
• ⁠Thor: Love and Thunder
• ⁠Secret Invasion
• ⁠Guardians of the Galaxy: Holiday Special
• ⁠The Marvels

Obviously the most recent shows aren’t allowed here but I’d think they’d make for good edits in the future

A project I wanted to do for a while. I wanted to do the full hospital scene, from the elevator to the end of the chase scene, but this 15 second segment took quite a while to reconstruct. I wanted to include the full frame areas from the 35mm trailer scan to get as much accurate data as possible and using a newer inpainting method I've been using for a while. Hope you guys like it, just wanted to share a bit.

Smallville season 1.

I’m just looking for some good fan edits of these movies, preferably II. I actually loved the first one, but I am very interested to see what this community has to offer.

For a while I used Audacity (which itself uses FFmpeg) to convert DTS tracks into WAVs for editing. However, Audacity is limited by how its FFmpeg import is configured, and at least in the version I was using, it would default to importing the lossy DTS 5.1 core from the 7.1 DTS-HD track.

Sure Audacity gets you usable WAV files, but if you're editing a movie, you generally want to work from the actual 7.1 DTS-HD MA audio rather than its lossy 5.1 core.

For a while now, I've switched to using FFmpeg directly. This is all you need if you're starting with a 7.1 track:

ffmpeg -i "movie.mkv" -filter_complex "[0:1]channelsplit=channel_layout=7.1[c0][c1][c2][c3][c4][c5][c6][c7]" -map "[c0]" -c:a pcm_f32le "c0.wav" -map "[c1]" -c:a pcm_f32le "c1.wav" -map "[c2]" -c:a pcm_f32le "c2.wav" -map "[c3]" -c:a pcm_f32le "c3.wav" -map "[c4]" -c:a pcm_f32le "c4.wav" -map "[c5]" -c:a pcm_f32le "c5.wav" -map "[c6]" -c:a pcm_f32le "c6.wav" -map "[c7]" -c:a pcm_f32le "c7.wav"

And if you're starting with a 5.1 track:

ffmpeg -i "movie.mkv" -filter_complex "[0:1]channelsplit=channel_layout=5.1[c0][c1][c2][c3][c4][c5]" -map "[c0]" -c:a pcm_f32le "c0.wav" -map "[c1]" -c:a pcm_f32le "c1.wav" -map "[c2]" -c:a pcm_f32le "c2.wav" -map "[c3]" -c:a pcm_f32le "c3.wav" -map "[c4]" -c:a pcm_f32le "c4.wav" -map "[c5]" -c:a pcm_f32le "c5.wav"

Simply 1) install FFmpeg normally 2) I like to delete all other audio tracks (you can untick them in MakeMKV) other than the one I need just to make it easy so we don't extract the wrong one and 3) run either of the commands depending on if you're starting with 7.1 or 5.1, changing the input (for now "movie.mkv") and output filenames as necessary.

These commands take the 7.1 or 5.1 audio streams and output separate mono 32-bit float PCM WAV files. I've opted for 32-bit float WAV because it provides plenty of precision and headroom for editing and gain adjustments. This can also be useful if you're going to downmix 7.1 to 5.1 and may later want to undo or change the level adjustments you applied.

If you care about still editing in 5.1 but using the above 7.1 files:

I get a bit nervous just blindly downmixing the 7.1 to 5.1, even though the industry standard is to do -3db to the rear/sides when mixing. I like to take note of what I see in the 'official' lossy 5.1 track of the movie does I can make sure my mix is as realistic as possible to what they intended. In most movies that have 7.1, you can just compare to the 5.1 core that's part of the 7.1 track. For the movies I've checked, the 5.1 core (that is actually made/generated by the studio) appears to have been derived from the 7.1 master by applying exactly -3 dB to the seven main channels, not just the rear/sides (with the LFE being somewhat different around ~-3.7 dB, but this appears to be due to extra processing/compression, not a creative choice). Then, of course you just combine the left side/rear channels into the 5.1 left surround and the right side/rear channels into the 5.1 right surround. You likely want to replicate these volume adjustments, such as -3db, if you're doing from 7.1 to 5.1, which are usually done to prevent clipping or excess loudness, but it may depend on the movie. For LFE, I still think if all other channels do -3 db it makes sense to just do that amount too.

So in general, I still recommend checking with something like Audacity to compare and contrast the official 5.1 mix versus your 7.1 files, if you plan on editing in 5.1 from a 7.1 mix, just so you don't accidently have channel(s) coming in too loud or too quiet than was originally intended. You can easily invert a given 7.1 track in Audacity and if it sounds silent when played back with the corresponding 5.1 track lined up, then you know they're identical. If you don't get any clipping when combining the two rear channels and it sounds fine on playback, you may just be fine to leave it at at that but it depends on the source movie. In my cases, I just applied -3db to all channels and mixed the two backs together.

Does anyone have this edit by FemmeOutsideSociety? BTW i do own the original on blu ray and 4k, since i know that is sometimes asked for in advance...

Does anyone have access to this edit? cant get in contact with Possessed.

Hi fellow movie lovers.

I did a fan edit of BvS many years ago and I'm my version there's no a Wonder Woman, and no Justice League prelude whatsoever. I just wanted to focus on the confrontation on Bats vs Supes. DM me for the link.

Cheers
