[img]http://img204.imageshack.us/img204/6475/alien3d.png[/img] WATCH THIS VIDEO CLIP WHICH REVEALS THE INTENDED TWIST - [url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bTBYbhECyGA]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bTBYbhECyGA[/url] @ Spartacus - I kept getting 'logged out' every time I tried to answer you in Snorkelbottom's 'My Alien 5' topic recently, so I've had to start this seperate one so that I can respond in full to you about this... Anyway, if you happen to be a technically adept 'fan-editor' Spartacus, then I'd certainly be willing to consider your offer of help with this project. However, there's a few certain things I require when it comes to undertaking this with any potential collaborator - 1. Ideally, I'd hoped for someone who was capable of cutting the BLU-RAY versions of this...but I'd certainly be okay with just cutting the DVD versions of this, if need be. But either way, I need someone who can cut it using the 'PAL' region versions, as my exact descriptions and 'timings' would be taken from the 'PAL' releases. I also need someone who's capable of cutting this together using either 3 different BLU-RAY sources or alternatively, from 3 DVD sources. That's right, 3 different 'PAL' sources are needed for the footage this project requires. 2. Although I'm not expecting any fancy 'menus' or 'extras' added to this edit, I do need someone who's able to do clean cuts, and who's also able to retain the 5.1 surround sound too. 3. I'm also looking to find someone who's patient and willing to cut to my specific, exact 'cut-list' throughout, without changing anything. I've not come across a version of ALIEN 3 that ever satisfied me, whether 'official' or 'fan-edited', so I've spent a lot of time working out this particular 'combination' of the 2 'official' versions which I'd be very keen to see eventually. To do this would entail me sending my exact descriptions and timings over a series of E-mails to any collaborator, but I'm not expecting this to be done quickly by anyone, as I'd rather they tried to cut it together with care instead, no matter how long it takes. So if you fit these criteria Spartacus, then I'd certainly be interested in your help with this. But if not, no worries, as there's certain others I hope to contact eventually that may agree to take this on instead. Let me know either way. Thanks.

Try blender. It's free and has more power overall than Vegas. What have you got to lose? The only thing is it can get a bit technical but I am sure you can easily handle it. [url=http://codeanticode.wordpress.com/2008/04/13/using-blender-for-video-editing/]Using blender for video editing[/url]

right, blender very handy for 3d editing, but regards video editing it would actually take longer to do stuff, does anyone know of a free pedigree video editing software

Snorkelbottom, 'Windows Movie Maker' seems to be pretty basic as you say, and doesn't seem to be rated highly by the guys that are proficient at 'fan-editing'. Not sure about a totally free version of a decent piece of software being available for this kind of thing, but it seems that the 'Sony Vegas' software is available as a free 30-day trial download if you ever feel like trying it out for yourself. Here's a link to a table which compares the different features in the various versions of it - [url=http://www.sonycreativesoftware.com/moviestudiope/compare]http://www.sonycreativesoftware.com/moviestudiope/compare[/url] And here's a link to the various downloads. From what I can gather from what some 'fan-editors' have posted in the past, 'Sony Vegas Movie Studio' is a well-thought-of editor which offers lots of features and gives excellent results - [url=http://www.sonycreativesoftware.com/download/trials]http://www.sonycreativesoftware.com/download/trials[/url] See what you think.

You might try [url=http://www.lightworksbeta.com/]Lightworks[/url]. It is well spoken of but I don't like it's interface. EDIT: Here is a good [url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SK4ogYgnm4I]tutorial[/url] that lets you know what you are getting.

Just FYI you guys cause I know this stuff I really do.... Try Ulead Video Editor I am telling you it rocks the house and is easy and simple and quick to install and has a slew of options all the others do not. Specifically perfect for what you are trying to do, plus you can use the wav/avi/wmv editor to split and re arrange sound files and special effects. I am telling you it's perfect for what you want to do.

i actually quite like the look of that, kind of a cross between UE3's matinee and Magix Music Maker 17 (which I have)
