	Can we add a clarification about the use of SW footage. For example, linking to youtube clips containing SW footage is not allowed -----signature----- They are not "songs", they are "tracks" or "cues" ROTJ - "It has a nice mix of muppets and patricide that you don't see very often" - Darthboba Everybody knows that the bird is the word!

	Perhaps we need to talk this out in MS as well, but here are my thoughts on it based on the order of events I've witnessed: We were told to edit all links to YouTube that contained official Star Wars footage in it. Simple right? Just edit out all the links and host the videos elsewhere IF they had the movie clips. Then YouTube deletes a bunch of fan-made stuff and LFL tells them to put it back up. From my understanding, the key thing about these videos was that they were produced by fans not that they had official footage in them. So from that perspective nothing has changed on our end. Now, if LFL openly said "put as much official footage up there as you want" it'd be a different story because they'd be saying we could do whatever with it. But as of right now I'm honestly not sure we'd be in the clear if LFL came down on any links we had laying around to copyright footage on another site like YouTube. One of the main reasons we were told to edit the links in the first place was because of all the infringement that takes place there and we didn't want to be in the middle of things if the lawyers started knocking on doors. All that said, we can bring this back up in MS if it's something that everyone wants to find out about. The easiest thing is just stick with what we have going now but we haven't spoken about it since the initial discussion either so I'm not sure what would happen. -----signature----- CK Hicks http://www.ckhicks.com http://dveditor.deviantart.com TFN on Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=2202937735

	Can we post non-Star Wars fan films? I guess it wouldn't be fan films then, just homemade films. I made some action movies in the mid 80s. I have them on YouTube and love to share with Star Wars fans. -----signature----- You Don't Know Braff! Until you know Zach-Braff.com http://www.zach-braff.com MySpace page, myspace.com/braffstaff

	People put up release threads for all kinds of independant films. This may be a Star Wars related board. And this particular forum may be all about fan films. But we generally like to see any and all kinds of stuff. Especially if it has cool FX or something. But, this place is loaded with Star Wars fans first. So, don't be surprised it you don't get much response. What I recommend is create one thread with links to all your films. Just make sure that nothing is copyrighted. The TOS says you can't link to copyrighted YouTube stuff. (that is, stuff that's owned by someone else). -----signature----- Fan Films Database: R.I.P.

	Yes, DV, bring it up and see what the conclusions come to. There are some really brilliant re-workings using the original footage up on youtube. -----signature----- "Whale > Pot "- DVEditor "keep your shots close, keep your actors closer...

	I am just wondering, but is this a good idea to put in the sticky? "Preview your post before submmitting" I think it is a good tip/thing to do. So many times I see the wrong code used, or something doesnt work that the poster intended to do.For me, whenever I post something that contains a hyperlink or a picture or both, I preview the post before submitting. What do you guys think of that tip? Bruce -----signature----- Jedizandjinxes.net http://www.cg-nation.com <<< Great 3D forum, recently rebuilt, all 3d apps encouraged

	or at least look at it afterwards while you can still edit it. -----signature----- Give a man a womp rat and he will eat for a day. Teach a man to hunt womp rats and he will blow up the Death Star. Looks, its a badgerconda!!! Zeppelin! http://xkcd.com/288/
