Dragon Ball Z Jartcut (Paddingless and fillerless SUB Recut/Edit)

[Jarttis]

I have begun editing a recut of the original Dragon Ball Z. I'll call it the Dragon Ball Z Jartcut because of my username. I'm doing this because I want the original Kikuchi Score and music placements along with the best possible Dragon Box footage and broadcast audio. I managed to cut 5min30sec from episode 4 of DBZ for example and I've done a recut of Fist of the North Star in the past so this isn't anything new for me. That recut got positive feedback but it was like 3 years ago so I think I can do an even better job now with Dragon Ball Z.

Not sure if I can link to a project discord here but it would be nice to gauge interest in this.

I have the utmost respect for the original Dragon Ball Recut and Kai Recuts and I will be following the same philosophies as those projects. But don't expect this recut to be as fast as the Kai Recut IAmMilkMan has made. I will try to cut out all the scenes that aren't in the manga just like the Kai recut by IAmMilkMan however by it's nature the original Z is just slower and due to the music not all of it can be unpadded as efficiently.

SUB ONLY, (soft-sub).

UPDATE: Saiyan, Freeza, Cell and Majin Boo Sagas are finished and cut down to 136 episodes.

Didn't find anything in the rules about linking to a discord being not allowed so here's a discord link for the project for status updates!

I'd be happy to give a watch since I've had an urge to do something similar myself. The only difference with my approach is I want to keep some of the self contained filler episodes while trimming down the cannon content to a good pace, so it's more based on the anime experience. It'll take me a while anyway because I want to do a proper Kikuchi Kai placement first then the Z cut to be the Japanese version.

As your idea is pretty close I'll be interested in seeing where it goes. Well-paced Z era with proper Kikuchi placement is something that's sorely needed.

Interesting project if done well. What footage are you using?

SoM Dragon Box Merge, once the CC comes out I'll make a V2

Wow. Isn't that a lot of work to redo everything? Or will you simply just load files with new files and it'll re render everything automatically if every frame is the same?

The latter yeah. It won't be that bad as long as I don't lose my project files.

Cool project. I know you already said it, but strongly recommend you back-up the project files if possible so you can quickly "upgrade" the video when a new (CC) source is available.

This project is interesting.
After doing the Boo Saga, will you do the Dragon Ball Saga with SoM CC V2 release ?

Milkman's Dragon Ball Recut is already great, and I think someone else ought to sync it to the SoM CC.

Yeah, I will definitely do that since I also want to watch such an edit myself ha-ha.

milkman's source files would needed to render the recut to the SOM CC, or do everthing manually by yourself

The Majin Boo saga is now done! Meaning the entirety of Z is now watchable through this edit! Thanks especially to SpyroChris who became the co-editor for the Majin Boo saga.

Cheers! Here's to an even better V2 with more features!
