• Most new users don't bother reading our rules. Here's the one that is ignored almost immediately upon signup: DO NOT ASK FOR FANEDIT LINKS PUBLICLY. First, read the FAQ. Seriously. What you want is there. You can also send a message to the editor. If that doesn't work THEN post in the Trade & Request forum. Anywhere else and it will be deleted and an infraction will be issued.
  • If this is your first time here please read our FAQ and Rules pages. They have some useful information that will get us all off on the right foot, especially our Own the Source rule. If you do not understand any of these rules send a private message to one of our staff for further details.

TV-to-Movie Fanedits

If you’re trying to get to the heart of TV-to-Movie edits, the best place to start is with the editors who have made some great ones. We sat down with some of our fine editors to discuss the goals, challenges and ideas of their television show edits.

noss verk, cordless ninja!

these articles (including those by Q2, throw, njvc, TM2YC) can be a great way to inform both newbies and FE veterans of the cool work that's come out of the community, including older edits. they can consolidate information about certain styles of fanediting or highlight a series or point us to sites such as penthouse.

looking forward to reading more, you wonderful mofos! including you, MCP.

Glad I could help out! I think articles like this are a great idea and can really help people just getting into it. I'd be happy to answer questions for any other ones you might want to do.

This is great advise, I've been working on a few tv edits lately and have ran into the same problems that the elite have when adapting it to a different format.  Usually I've found the scenes with visible credits generally spend a lot of time setting up things you sort of can already gather as the story progresses along later, so it's sometimes easy to skip over those whole scenes.

Yeah, that's the ideal way IMO if it's possible.

Everybody has been very kind but really all the editors gave such great, detailed responses all I had to do was curate!
