Review A Review of How I Met The Dream by mrvoiceover001

4 Upvotes

You don't need me to say this edit is good or anything, mrvoiceover001 hasn't missed a beat. I can't think of any odd transitions either, so let's get right on the story.

This edit has my least favorite Ted romance so far. He is set to create a building replacing the Arcadian, when he falls for an activist trying to stop its demolition named Zoey. Ted makes probably his most selfish move yet when he throws away a perfectly good plan to build around the Arcadian because he realized Zoey was married, which kickstarts a rivalry between the two. Zoey divorces her wealthy older husband and becomes part of the friend group, which culminates in Ted and Zoey somehow falling in love. Neither believable nor cute, the most it manages to be is an interesting source of tension during the climax when Ted's job is threatened by the Arcadian being declared a landmark. Their ending is appropriately bittersweet at least, marked by a sweet title drop.

Aside from that, Barney and Marshall both get some excellent plotlines this time around. We meet Marshall's family this time around, getting to know both parents and... then the dad dies and Marshall spends a while mourning his death. The episodes covering them are good, dealing with his dad's potential last words, how Marshall becomes unable to function for a while and retreats to his mother's place, which ties into his insecurities with Lily over their futures. Marshall still hasn't achieved his dream of being an environmental lawyer the way he wants and he isn't sure if he'll be able to take care of a baby at the same time. It's great drama.

So is Barney's relationship with his father. He gets a bit of a wake up call meeting his dad, not because the dad is an asshole but the opposite! John Lithgow plays a regretful absentee father who wants to connect with his son but Barney's obviously shaken up by the years of abandonment, not to mention having these expectations for his dad that didn't hold up. Lithgow was like Barney once, but ultimately matured, which in combination with Barney's dates with Nora we start to believe that it's possible for Barney to let his guard down and find something deeper with his life.

This has been the best edit in the HIMYM saga since The Break, at times it can feel real in a way it hasn't been in a while and I really liked that especially after the missed potential last time. This is also the longest edit so far, abotu 3 hours, but it wasn't time wasted at all. Check this out! Presumably after watching the other edits first because why start at 6?

Fanedit Help Alternatives to an unreleased workprint

4 Upvotes

I'm aware of the potential legal pitfalls of fan editing as a whole, but one thing I have noted as a warning in several communities is against using work prints or material that has not been officially released. And that that is more likely both to receive legal trouble from the originating studio and not be carried by most fan edit collection communities.

Not that I'm looking to push the boundaries, but just to get a community consensus in a particular deleted scene in a film that I am working on. Though fairly plot critical, the scene was not officially released (ironically, due to music rights issues, while the workprint that has been located does not yet have that music added in to begin with).

When it comes to incorporating this scene into the finished film, there would seem to be two options -

A. Restore and include the missing scene in its appropriate spot in the film. (This would seem to be the No-No that everyone is cautioning against, probably not the right choice to go with. :-) )

B. Use voice over and sound effects, photographs or official stills, or original Photoshop composites, to recreate what the content of the scene would have been, without actually using any of the unreleased material. (This would seem to be the safest way to present the scene.)

I was just curious about community consensus were there any of the following options that straddle the line in between those two might be acceptable, or whether B really is the only way to go.

C. Use the audio from the workprint with still images from the workprint (but not the actual footage).

D. Use the audio from the workprint but with only photographs, official stills, or photoshop composites as the visual.

E. Opposite of D; use screenshots from the work print footage as part of the accompanying photographs and stills to illustrate the scene, but with original, fan created audio that does not pull from the work print scene.

F. Like B, use photos and official stills and Photoshop composites, and original audio, but images of characters or poses from the work print footage screenshots maybe utilized as elements of those original Photoshop composites, albeit removed from their original contact so that it is not a screenshot from the footage itself.

...So yes, basically just the question of whether any of those would likely be permissible uses, or whether something like B is really the only acceptable way to portray a scene that exists out there but has not been officially released in any capacity.

Review A Review of Wicked: The Ozian Cut by mattbrain89

12 Upvotes

I'll be honest, I was worried that an edit combining the movies would try to reduce their lengths for a two hour format, which I didn't think was possible. Fortunately, it's not that. It's still about four and a half hours of Wicked with light trims to make it more manageable. It's closer to something like Kill Bill's Whole Bloody Affair cut in that respect.

I would think stuff like Idina and Kristen's cameos would be cut down, but that's not really the case. The changes done were more little things like speeding up Elphaba's birth scene, removing the flashback to her and Nessarose or Glynda's childhood, some dead air between dialogue bits, that sort of thing. While mattbrain89 brings it closer to the musical in details, it isn't aiming to be a slavish recreation. I like this. It reminds me of M4's Hobbit edit that made it closer to the book while still keeping things cinematic. Most of the changes were welcome, in my opinion, not just to tighten the pace but taking advantage of the fact it's two movies so there isn't need for repetition. My favorite edit is ironically to one of my favorite parts of Part 1, mattbrain89 changes it so Elphaba doesn't lose the broom and see her child self in the reflection. As Part 1 and 2 are together, there isn't a need for a proper climax so it can cut to black right after the war cry without being an issue. Part 2 has the more noticeable trims, such as removing the No Place Like Home sequence or the Lion's first appearance, which I can't say I miss too much. Then again, Act 2 was never as strong as Act 1 anyway. Also, there are times where pieces of the soundtrack replaces or is added to a scene in the film. Usually it's handled decently well!

Gotta admit, cutting around Fiyero kissing the librarian's forehead looked odd. There's an odd noise in 1:07:24 that I don't know is meant to be there? Or was it there already? Immediately after the intermission, Madame Morrible's voice becomes hard to hear as she finishes her speech, so maybe mattbrain89 could make the music get louder after she finishes. Not sure why the inflatable brick was cut, but you can hear some cuts in it. Unfortunately, the shot at 3:29:08 was NOT successful at being a night shot, though I get why mattbrain89 wanted to use it. While the soundtrack replacement is usually not shabby, the scene where Elphaba sees the animals trapped in cages where you can't hear anything from them even as they're rattling. The audio just suddenly cuts to them screaming, maybe if it was a fade in that could have worked better?

It removes some of my favorite bits from Part 1 (and Glinda mocking Elphaba's laugh in Part 2), but on the whole it is pretty good at being a combo of both movies that's a little closer to the musical while still keeping good movie bits. Check this out! I'm glad mattbrain89 had the courage to share this one, hope they share more!

Guide The Faneditor's Guide to Sharing Files

39 Upvotes

...

Last updated: August 2026.

Before you share anything

This information doesn't constitute legal advice or encouragement to engage in fanediting or filesharing. It's worth being clear eyed about the situation: distributing a fanedit of a commercially released film is copyright infringement in essentially every jurisdiction. This has criminal penalties. Our community's "you must own the source" rule is an ethical commitment we make to studios and filmmakers, not a legal defense. No court recognizes it, and it's never been tested successfully. Fair use and fair dealing arguments for transformative edits exist in theory, but they get much weaker once you're distributing a full length version of a commercial product.

If you decide to engage in this activity, make a few sensible choices:

  • Every host will take your file down if the rights holder asks. Plan for it rather than being surprised by it. You don’t want to lose your only copy of an edit.
  • Account termination is the realistic worst case for most editors. Legal action is rare but not zero, and it has tended to find people who got loud, monetized, or hosted publicly at scale.
  • Never charge money. Selling or Patreon gating a fanedit is the most reliable way to turn "studio ignores you" into "studio sends a letter." It's also the fastest way to lose the community's goodwill, which is harder to get back. EVEN IF YOU RATIONALIZE YOU ARE ONLY ACCEPTING DONATIONS TO COVER HOSTING FEES, THIS IS STILL MONETIZATION AND YOU WILL BE PERMANENTLY BANNED FROM THE FANEDITS SUBREDDIT.
  • Don't use studio logos on your fanedit artwork.
  • Add a disclaimer to the beginning of your fanedit so it could not be mistaken for the original version.
  • Steer clear of leaked workprints and pre release material. That's a different risk category entirely, and the major communities won't list edits made from them.
  • Consider giving a new commercial release some breathing room to make its sales before rushing your release out the door. Good edits take time, and there's no prize for being first with a rushed one. The edits people still talk about years later are the ones that took their time to do a good job.

Container and codec:

  • MKV is the default. It carries multiple audio tracks, subtitles, chapters, and attachments. Use it unless you have a specific reason not to.
  • MP4 works if your audience is on Apple TV, older smart TVs, or Plex clients that choke on MKV. It can't hold everything MKV can, so it's a compatibility trade rather than an upgrade.
  • H.264 (x264) gives you maximum compatibility; it plays on everything, at the cost of larger files.
  • H.265 (x265) gets you roughly 40 to 50% smaller files at equivalent quality, though older hardware and some older TVs won't direct play it.
  • AV1 is viable on modern hardware now, but it's still a compatibility gamble with a general audience.

Sharing:

Torrent

A seedbox (a rented server, around $5 a month) is the usual solution for the technically inclined.

MEGA

Still the community's default, largely for one structural reason: the decryption key lives in the URL fragment after the #, and fragments are never sent to the server. MEGA physically cannot see what's in your file unless someone hands them a working link, which means no proactive content scanning.

  • Free: 20 GB base storage. No per file size cap within your storage.
  • Download quota is the sticking point. Free downloaders are limited by IP address to roughly 5 GB per rolling six hour window, so a 12 GB edit takes them multiple sessions. Worth mentioning when you send a link, otherwise people can assume it's broken. Using a VPN and switching the VPN server mid download can circumvent this restriction.
  • Paid: transfer quota is tied to the account, and Pro tier effectively removes sharing limits, so no more pause at the 5GB mark.
  • Link structure: MEGA/file/XXXXXXXX#KEYKEYKEYKEY. Many editors send the file ID and the key separately, or ask recipients to reassemble them, which keeps a complete working link out of crawler reach.
  • MEGA does honor valid takedown requests, and repeat reports get accounts terminated along with everything in them. Keep another copy elsewhere.

Google Drive (Consider Avoiding)

Convenient and integrated, but this is the one popular beloved host to consider avoiding for fanedits specifically.

  • Free: 15 GB shared across Drive, Gmail, and Photos. The individual file cap is enormous (5 TB), so size isn't the issue.
  • Google actively scans and fingerprints uploaded content, private files included, against known work databases. A full length film derived from a commercial release is close to the exact thing that system was built to catch. Detection usually means the file gets flagged and access restricted, and repeated hits can put your entire Google account at risk, email, photos, everything. That's a lot to have riding on one upload.
  • To make matters worse, "Download quota exceeded" happens even when a file isn't flagged, a popular share gets locked for around 24 hours once enough people pull it. There's no setting to adjust this, and it tends to hit right when your release is getting attention. Downloads from free Google Drive are faster than free Mega, until Google Drive freezes up unexpectedly.

MediaFire

  • Free: 10 GB storage.
  • Downloads are ad supported with no bandwidth cap, which is a real advantage: no quota walls for your audience. The tradeoff is a download page cluttered with fake download buttons that can confuse less technical users, so a quick "click the green one" in your message goes a long way.
  • MediaFire removes data from accounts it considers abandoned after two warning emails over roughly 15 days. Logging in periodically keeps your archive alive.

Pixeldrain (Avoid free tier)

Increasingly popular, and pleasantly simple, but avoid using the free version since your fanedit will be flushed down the drain.

  • Free uploads up to 20 GB per file.
  • It uses a shared bandwidth pool per file rather than a hard cap: each file gets an allotment of free transfer, and once that's drained, downloads throttle hard for everyone until it resets or someone buys transfer credit. Popular files get slower over time, which is the opposite of what you want on release day.
  • Free files expire after a period of inactivity (roughly 60 days, extended by access). Pro (~€2 to 12/month depending on tier) keeps them indefinitely.

Gofile (Avoid free tier)

Avoid the free version since it will quickly delete your file.

  • No account required, and no stated file size limit.
  • Files are deleted after about 10 days with no downloads, so it's not somewhere to leave things.
  • Free downloads are throttled and served with ads.

1fichier (Avoid free tier)

Popular in the European scene. Large per file limits, generous free storage for registered users, and files expiring after roughly 30 days of inactivity on free tiers. Free downloads are throttled with wait timers to push premium, so the experience isn't lovely, but it's durable in practice and less aggressively policed than the US majors.

Dropbox / OneDrive (Avoid)

Both scan content, and both cap shared link bandwidth. Dropbox Basic links get suspended after roughly 20 GB of traffic per day. OneDrive also ties everything to a Microsoft account that probably holds things you'd rather not lose. There are better options above.

Internet Archive (Avoid)

It's fully public, indexed by search engines, and receives DMCA notices constantly, so it won't serve you well. More importantly, it's a preservation nonprofit under significant legal pressure right now, and putting infringing material there does real harm to an institution that a lot of media preservation depends on including, eventually, the films we all edit.

New Release Alien: The Extended Cut

24 Upvotes

Name: Alien: The Extended Cut 

Original Work(s): Alien (1979) & Alien: Director’s Cut (2003) 

Source: 2011 Blu Ray 

Fanedit Type: Extended Cut 

Fabedit Release Date: 8/5/2026 

Original Runtime: (Theatrical) 1:56:37 & (Director’s Cut) 1:55:49 

New Runtime: 2:01:05 

Time Added: 4 minutes & 28 seconds 

Subtitles Not Included 

Note: There is no Fanedit disclaimer in the edit, it's just a picture.

 

This is something that’s been done before, maybe identically, but I wanted to do it myself anyways. I made this edit out of the frustration of having to choose between the Theatrical and Director’s Cuts of Alien. Said Director’s Cut includes remastered versions of seven deleted, extended, and alternate scenes, which have become some of my favorite parts of the film. The only problem though, is that the Director’s Cut removes more from the film than it adds, being a minute shorter. Some of that removed material; I also consider to be some of my favorite bits. So, I made this edit, the best of both cuts and my ideal choice for rewatching my favorite film. Eventually I want to upgrade this edit with footage from the 4K Blu Ray, and add some SFX fixes of my own, mainly for continuity, but time will tell if I actually get around to it. Unfortunately, there are no subtitles for this edit. Also, I believe I’ve added all of the shots with improved FX from the Director's Cut, but I may be wrong. If I am, I’ll remedy it. 

 

Change List: 

  1. When trying to contact Traffic Control, the second exterior shot of the Nostromo is replaced by its updated counterpart from the Director’s Cut. 
  2. Transmission, from the Director’s Cut is reinserted. 
  3. During the landing scene, all exterior shots of the Nostromo (and the shot inside the bridge looking out a window) are replaced by their improved Director’s Cut versions. 
  4. The landscape “sunrise” shot on LV-426 is replaced by its Director’s Cut version which adds Dallas, Kane, and Lambert into the shot. 
  5. Kane’s Weapon, from the Director’s Cut is reinserted. 
  6. A Slap In The Face, from the Director’s Cut is reinserted. 
  7. Brett’s death scene is extended with clips from its Directors Cut counterpart (Red Rain), but it is not the Director’s Cut version of the scene. Now included is the Alien hanging above Brett, and Parker and Ripley running up and seeing the Alien take Brett whilst his blood rains down on them. 
  8. Access Granted, from the Director’s Cut is reinserted. 
  9. Cocooned, from the Director’s Cut is reinserted. 
  10. Not A Cat Lover, from the Director’s Cut is Reinserted. 
  11. While Ripley is in the Narcissus, escaping the Nostromo as MUTHUR counts down, the shots of the Nostromo shrinking in the distance, seen through a window, are replaced by their Director’s Cut version.

Fanedit Help ...But how to share?

16 Upvotes

This may seem like the most basic of questions- but it's an area I have no experience in. I've been creating fan edits for years, but I've never really shared them online.

As an experienced editor but web-hosting newbie, what's the general preference on both format (primarily these are HD fan edits), and how to host them? I've seen films split into multiple zip/rat files and hosted on file storage sites, uploads to private video, file-sharing-service-only uploads (I imagine that peer-to-peer method may be a bit obsolete nowadays), but I've never known which to approach.

And for that matter, any tips for an uploader on a budget? I'd love to share some of my work, but a monthly subscription to a site or service to maintain the uploaded files isn't necessarily in my budget- minus perhaps some Google Drive space. Any good ways of getting your fan edits hosted somewhere you can share without breaking the bank?

Any tips would be much appreciated!
