Thanks Leonardo. You do not need to send the whole file again Smile

I have about 1/3 of the episode assembled.

I won't be able to work on the episode this weekend. I will resume working on it next week.

Episode 6 assembly is progressing. Here is a snapshot.

I should mention - I'm looking for another person or persons with Adobe Premiere Pro 2 who would be willing to do some very simple tasks - cut and pasting dialogue into subtitle elements. It would save me a lot of time to have an assistant or more.

This picture shows the Premiere Pro 2 interface. On the left are resources such as audio files, parts of the Great Tree animated photoshop file used at the opening, language elements (English only at the moment), and sequences... video elements are there too, although below the visible window.

On the bottom is the timeline for the video. I've picked out some audio as a test, but it isn't finished. The video track has a lot of video, but a lot of holes in it. At this phase, I'm lining up video segments ("Video 1" row) with the subtitles ("English" row) that will be used together. Next I'll go through and do a more fine-tuned alignment and, fill in some holes in the video with leftover clips that I didn't use on the first pass. After that, I film new segments privately so that I can complete the digital addition of Phil, Douglas, and Victor. Once I've added the "special" actors to the timeline and adjusted their subtitles, I'll know how long the video will be. (Right now the project stops around 51 minutes, but the final copy will be much shorter as the pieces are fit together - it's just like a jigsaw puzzle, and the pieces begin spread over a greater space than the final picture occupies.)

I would love to help out with the project. A few years ago I often messed around with Microsoft Video Maker and created some nice, little movies. Even made a product commercial for a school project. Microsoft VM is nothing compared to Premiere of course, but still, I really liked the editing process.

Anyway, € 1.000 is not something I have in my pocket unfortunately... Sad

Just watched it twice and it looks all great to me... Very Happy

Love the beginning, the flight through the GZ window and
at the end the view from the fountain up to the balustrade
with the crowd...
I don't understand the black screen at 6:06 with Brian saying
"Hmm...", though

It's unfinished. Smile

As the progress bar indicated, I have much work to do.
