Re: Edited version of Feature Film
Well, I'm really not sure what happened to this thread. The moderators log shows that I edited it, but apparently it got cut to shreds. Frankly, I don't remember touching it and I apologize for the inconvenience if it was my error. Strange...

Re: Edited version of Feature Film
.
I know I'm being EXTRA careful in this forum these days. We have almost edited each other's posts a few times here in the past, hahaha.
Even Shooshie did some accidental editing to a post the other day (but managed to solve it).
AFAIK, Frodo is the only one who is still yet to press the wrong button. Let's see for how long

Well, I don't think I did press any wrong buttons, but the thread got reduced to a single post. Kind of useless now.FMiguelez wrote:.

Re: Edited version of Feature Film
I could have just deleted the thread. I chose to keep it alive and explain what happened. I'm sorry you don't like that. Perhaps I should have just deleted it. If this is the direction it goes in, I probably will. Or you can repost.bdr wrote:I'm the OP.

Re: Edited version of Feature Film
to be honest, I thought it was your well renowned sense of humor coming to the fore, seeing as I originally asked about approaches and advice for editing music from a 90 minute feature length documentary that had been cut down to a 60 minute TV version. In fact the last line of my OP was..'should I just hack away at the score' so looking at your replies I took it that the score was going to be destroyed by music editing and so just accept it. Ha!

I would just start hacking away at the score rather than trying to make it fit, especially if the score is still under your fingers.
I've had a particularly trying day an apologize if I am a bit short tempered.
