How have you started making fanedits and why are you making them? At the time of writing this info, I’m just short of my first ‘birthday’ as a faneditor. A little over a year ago I found my way to Fanedit.org quite by accident after downloading a copy of CBB’s Star Trek ‘Kirkless’ Generations. I then followed up on that with a copy of Pauley79’s Trials and Tribble-ations Extended Edition V1. I found the sound quality of that edit to be slightly off, and wondered if I had the talent and means to improve on it. So I dug out my OS & DS9 Tribbles DVDs and gave it a go. It was an unqualified success, maybe not as good quality as the edits I’m doing now, but hey, we live and learn. I was only using a very low quality editing program back then, which came free with my DVD writer. My Trials and Tribble-ations Extended Edition V2 seemed very popular, and remains so, despite it’s comparitively low quality compared to my newer edits and those of others. Since then I’ve carried on, pushing out 1 edit roughly every 3 months, and intend to carry on doing so. It gives me a sense of satisfaction to work on a project, put some time into it, and then see it ‘published’ for others to enjoy.

Is there a specific kind of fanedits you want to make? Not really, whatever takes my fancy. I tend to jump on the idea for a fanedit, I suppose like most others, when I’m sat watching a movie, and start wondering what can be done to improve it. Obviously there are ideas for fanedits that I get in ways different to that, for instance my Jurassic Park edit was actually another editor’s idea. He came to me to ask if I’d be interested in doing a revised edition for him. My next edit (at the time of writing this) will be a revised edition of one of my own edits. I also do DVDs based around Star Trek fanfilms, like I said, whatever takes my fancy.

Do you have a faneditor idol? Not really, I have so many edits from other editors, it’s hard to choose. There’s so many quality edits about, I’d be hard pressed to pick a favourite.

Will you continue making fanedits? Deffinately.

What are your favorite fanedits, which you didn’t create yourself? Again, so many to chose from, I’d be hard pressed to pick a favourite.

Merlin’s True Fanedits
	A Failed Expedition to The Lost World: Jurassic Park Released in 1997, â€˜The Lost World: Jurassic Park’ received mixed reactions from fans and critics alike. What most seemed to agree on was their dislike of the movie’s ending based around a captured T-Rex getting loose in the city of San Diego. The movie was later fanedited by Vmancini into â€˜A Failed Expedition to the Lost World: Jurassic Park’, reinserting two deleted scenes, and removing all reference to the captured T-Rex and it’s escape in San Diego. Presented here is a revised edition of that edit, created at the request of and in association with Vmancini. >>>>MORE
	Star trek Phase II – In Thy Image When Star Trek The Motion Picture debuted in 1979, what we were seeing was the re-envisioned pilot episode of a T.V. series named Star Trek Phase II. A brief footnote in Star Trek history, the series was cancelled with only 2 weeks to go to the start of production. Following the unprecedented success of Star Wars, Paramount then developed the pilot story, “In Thy Image”, into what we now know as Star trek The Motion Picture. Presented here as a Fanedit, Star Trek The Motion Picture has been re-edited into the style of a two-part Star Trek episode. A look at what “In Thy Image” might have looked like had it been made. >>>>MORE

Merlin’s Extended Editions
	Matrix Reloaded: Extended Edition This edit takes â€˜The Matrix Reloaded’ and extends it with an edited version of â€˜The Animatrix: The Final Flight of the Osiris’, and 18 of the 23 live action scenes from â€˜Enter The Matrix’. Creating one extended viewing experience, enhancing the main story, but mainly centring on expanding the storylines of Capt. Niobe, Ghost, Sparks, and Cmr. Lock. >>>>MORE
	Trials And Tribble-Ations 2nd Edition After watching Pauley79’s “Trials And Tribble-ationsÂ� – The Extended Edition”, I wondered just how far I could take what movie editing software I have on my home PC, so that I might start doing some Fanedits of my own. >>>>MORE
