Synopsis: "Dark forces conspire against orphan mapmaker Alina Starkov when she unleashes an extraordinary power that could change the fate of her war-torn world."
Edit summary: Cut the flashbacks and the ship/storm sideplot that isn't really necessary for the first season and interrupts the pacing of the main plot. Other small cuts to help the pacing and also hide some botched special effects as much as possible.
Season 2: toned down the superhero abilities a little bit to match the vibe of the first season, cut the Ravka crew scenes since the story was pedestrian and unrelated to the core plot, and recut some of the Alina plot to fix the writing.
Unfortunately the show was cancelled and it does leave the plot vaguely on a cliffhanger, it was clearly intended to have a third season to finish the character plot arcs. In my opinion it's still an enjoyable watch though, and not open-ended in an unsatisfying way, just feels like there should be more.

Synopsis: "Follows Wednesday Addams' years as a student, when she attempts to master her emerging psychic ability, thwart a killing spree, and solve the mystery that embroiled her parents."
Edit summary: Cut parents day and Uncle Fester, and a bunch of secondary character scenes to keep the focus on Wednesday's story. Numerous dialogue tweaks to remove political writing, and fix some rough writing and delivery, cut a couple aborted storylines like psychic training, and remove some common tropes about needing friends and love that try to moralize the character rather than leaning into her weirdness. Also re-trim the ending to be a lot less corny, both in terms of acting and writing, it was by far the weakest part of the original series.

Synopsis: "An American woman is stranded in Tokyo after breaking up with her boyfriend. Searching for direction in life, she trains to be a ramen chef under a tyrannical Japanese master."
Edit summary: This focuses the story mostly on the ramen shop, only keeping enough of the side characters and plot to add some light outside interactions for the main character. Some of the scenes are also rearranged to create a more natural flow to the story.

Synopsis: "A down-on-his-luck inventor turns a broken-down Grand Prix car into a fantastical vehicle for his children, and then they go off on a magical adventure to save their grandfather in a far-off land."
Edit summary: This edit significantly cuts down the musical numbers (only kept You Two, Candy Factory, Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, and King's Birthday), tones down the slapstick a bit, reduces the creepy childcatcher scenes, and various other trims to bring down the rather chunky length to something that doesn't require an intermission break. The only one I'm sad about losing is the carnival dance song (the song is silly but it was fun to watch as a kid), but that sequence really breaks up the flow of the early story and is an easy cut to save time without impacting the plot.

Synopsis: "Needing money to cover his wife's medical bills, a decorated veteran teams up with his brother to steal $32 million from a Los Angeles bank. However, when their getaway goes spectacularly wrong, the desperate thieves hijack an ambulance."
Edit summary: Cut the rollercoaster-quality drone shots, cop cars randomly smashing into things, and tightened up the non-action scenes a bit

Synopsis: "A group of young and spoiled rich kids turn into vampires after a night out, changing the course of their lives and driving a wedge between them all."
Edit summary: Removed the father flashbacks and made small tweaks to the romance plot - but most of the edit is just heavily trimming to speed up the flow of the film and clean up a bit of the dialogue. There are a lot of very slow sections in the original and I wanted more of a consistent pace.

Synopsis: "Upon escaping after decades of imprisonment by a mortal wizard, Dream, the personification of dreams, sets about to reclaim his lost equipment."
Edit summary: Most of this show is contrived netflix garbage, but there's a small segment in the middle of the show that has a completely different tone and makes for an interesting short film, so I've cut out that section and combined it with a bit of backstory to round it out. Additionally the image scaling is changed a bit to remove the vertical stretch that the producers put on the image to make it "dreamlike" since it's annoying at best and literally nauseating to some people.

Ver5: Remastered
Synopsis: "Mark leads a team of office workers whose memories have been surgically divided between their work and personal lives"
Edit summary: Removed most of the scenes spent out of the office that interrupted the pace and tone of the work segments. This also made the tone more suspenseful and less depressing overall, the "real life" segments have a tendency to be a bit morose. Also streamlined the office to keep the focus on Mark and Helly, and reduce the presence of Irving and many of the management staff characters. The new plot arc requires a lot less suspension of disbelief since many of the "mysterious" crazy side plots are removed in favor of a mysterious tone rather than manufactured mysteries.
Ver9: Re-add 20 seconds of cut footage to improve the finale and retrim the ending a bit.

Synopsis: "Daniel Garcia is working in the family bakery and doing everything that his loving Cuban parents and siblings expect him to do, until his life changes unexpectedly on a wild Miami night with a chance encounter with a superstar model at a fancy restaurant."
Edit summary: Culled out a lot of the side plots to put more focus on the main characters' relationship rather than trying to give equal time to the rest of the family. Also some careful trims to make a couple of the side characters more likeable rather than annoying.
Ver6: Updated projects to remove mixed non-23.976 sources for easier loading

Synopsis: "When a confrontation with alien invaders knocks out the Navy's main fleet, American and Japanese forces must work together to find a way to save the planet."
Edit summary: Made the main character a bit less of a screw-up, trimmed out some scenes that slowed down the plot but didn't totally remove the characters backstory, and put more focus on the boat battles - de-hollywoodifying it a bit by removing a lot of the "exciting" close up alien combat and flashy cgi.

Edit summary: Combines all of the Marvel superhero movies relevant to the Avengers series together with them, while carefully cutting any bad acting, scripts, or irrelevant time wasting side-plots that don't add to the character development.

Edit summary: Removed the Maggie/Jim romance subplot and cut large swathes of season 2 and 3 to remove the Snowden-type conspiracy plot, trimming it down to a show about people wanting to bring back real news, without any grand conspiracies or dramas.
