# Changes — Final Fantasy (2001) - The Phantom Menace Cut list from the Kdenlive timeline versus the original feature. A hole is a source-time window that is not on the video (or sparse audio) playlist. Removed dialogue is taken from the original-timeline SRT that overlaps that window. If the scene is not obvious from the cues, it is marked **TBD**. ## Intent Cuts poorly acted / excessive human-behavior scenes (Baldwin, Buscemi), shortens gore, and trims predictive-programming beats that are not plot-essential. Title card moved after the intro. Japanese audio + remix replacements are additions, not removals. - Kdenlive: `Final Fantasy (2001) - The Phantom Menace.kdenlive` - Source SRT: `Final Fantasy (2001) - The Phantom Menace.srt` - Picture holes: **50** (~15.8 min of source removed) ## Removals (source times) ### 1. 00:00:28.654 – 00:00:36.286 (7.6s) - **Scene:** TBD (no overlapping subtitles — silent action, music, or a commentary-less stretch). ### 2. 00:08:40.874 – 00:08:57.724 (16.9s) - **Scene:** TBD — fill in from the removed lines if needed. - **Removed subtitles:** - I'm afraid he's right about that ma'am. - Phantoms!
