i just watched the scabs edit last night with my homies and it was definitelly like watching a new movie. some scenes were just in excellent shape and i so sure would like them added to the blu-ray release of the film if thats going to happend. the edit was very well done, and the alternate ending was fantastic. Now i will have hard time watching this movie in its official release. Please make 2 versions of this when hitting on boxset or blu-ray!

are you using vista?…if so there’s a program called windows DVD maker that will burn without impairing quality at all…unless its in hi-def, it will just make it standard DVD quality..real easy to use, and it lets you make a menu and stuff very easily. i don’t know if XP has it, but it’s kind of like a tie-in with windows movie maker when you export…i know XP has movie maker.

I downloaded Scabby’s fan edit. It was great stuff. The inserted kill and gore scenes look awesome. I wish he would have left out the grainy tv stuff. It look pretty bad, not his fault, but didn’t fit too will with the otherwise high quality. I know you sometimes hangs out on the Deadpit forums, he should let CK and UB know about this.

One question; How do I burn this to DVD. It looks great on the PC, but when I put the MPEG into convertx2DVD it tells me that the file will be just over 2gb on the media. I don’t want to loose over half the file size on the conversion.

anyone make a fan-edit of part 6?? the footage for that one is a bit disappointing…is there anything on the special edition that isn’t on the boxset?

they say 3 versions of every kill was shot for that one – PG-13, R, & “X” – PG-13 was what was used for the theatrical and I think the boxset included the R kills. i guess the X ones were destroyed.

Just watched the fan-edit of Scab’s and it’s great. One or two killings were a little rough around the edges, because I missed cool footage that was in Tommy’s clip or even in the theatrical edit, and I also could have done without some of the TV-footage, but overal I had a blast and it was a small dream come true (especially the ending with added music and sound effects). This is one of my favourites and finally watching it uncut in that great of quality was amazing! I ordered the Deluxe Edition, but haven’t received it yet but the footage that Tommy and Scab used looks in incredible shape. If they can do it, than I’m sure that Paramount also can do it. If they can’t do it for other parts, then I’m sure it’s just a small effort for Part 4. Maybe for Blu-ray? Maybe mails and petition can help?

You know that with the great work Scab and Tommy have been doing recutting this film, Paramount must have a way to do this themselves using similar methods and able to clean up the rough spots. I do foresee an ultimate edition of this film in the future being released by paramount.

i used windows movie maker…comes with windows free, and you can render all the way up to HD quality. however movie maker isn’t all that flexible so you have to write .xml code to zoom it right, adjust colors, and stuff like that. i’m a programmer and took some vid production classes in college, so it’s not that tough for me. there are a million other programs out there that can do it easier. then you gotta be tricky at looping the sounds and adding in music from other parts of the movie and stuff.

you’ll also need to get a program to get it off the dvd and onto your computer…i just used a free trial of something offline..i think dvd magic or something. but don’t let it convert the file for you–it’ll decrease the quality. have it just decrypt it and save the raw files to your computer, then drop them in movie maker and ‘publish movie’ as something at a very high quality…then use that file for your editing. that way you don’t lose as much when you do zooming effects.

there are some consumer level cpu programs where you can digitize the movies and edit them on a timeline. there’s a track for editing the video and 2 or more tracks for the audio. Then you can export to a preferred file type.

adobe Premiere is one such program, but I haven’t used anything like this for ages and there may be cheaper apps from Best Buy at this point

Great work, guys! Again, if anyone has better source TV footage, please respond, because I’d like to make my own ultimate cut to share with you all. I have a degree in film, Final Cut Pro, and some good audio skills. I’d love to fix up the music to the best of my ability for these death scenes as well as work on all sound effects for the cut ending. Even without new TV scenes, I can use the current ones. Hopefully I can find the time. It’s a fun project.

tommyblah,

I don’t remember the last time I saw The Final Chapter and actually felt sorry for Jason’s victims. Thanks to your cuts I just did. Good Job!

JESUS. Tommyblah, I am going to be sick! These kills are GREAT. NICE EDITING JOB!!! I’ve been waiting 20 years for this. I was really squirming around watching these. Going to go watch them again now. Thanks for this treat!

thx! yeah they’re outtakes but you’ll notice that for almost every kill there’s one shot with a little jump in it, which is the half-second or 1 second of it they used in the film…so you can grab the remainder of the shot and connect it with what’s in the film. that’s what i did. they pretty much give you every scrap of film that wasn’t used in this movie…it’s a very good release.

It looks amazing. Are these outtakes included in the deluxe edition for The Final Chapter?

well guys, here are my cuts of the kills.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eiOWadeCZZc

i tried to color correct them the best i could but of course the pros have shading and highlighting tools that cost thousands…i did my best with what i have.

the only other thing i added was the shot of jason wiping off the butcher knife in the kitchen, which i didn’t feel was worth showing here.

it seems like scabboy tried to use everything they gave us, but as Joe Zito says in the commentary, most of it is outtakes and not meant for the final cut. i tried to really make it the way he would have wanted it. …except for sam’s death, i really over-extended that one and gave it the epic death music because i just love her so much.

let me know what you think!!!

Jason’s death was awesome in this version. I almost felt bad for the guy. Also Doug’s death was as horrifying as it should have been. If I had to complain, which I shouldn’t, I wish more of the death scenes had been extended and not just recut with bloodier scenes. I know this is difficult to do and requires trying to loop the music in a realistic way etc. I think this was done on some of the later deaths, however. Definitely fun to see
