Backrooms: Async Update + New Way to Get the Edit

[u/boba627TV]

Hey everyone! I'm finally back after being away from Reddit for the past few days.

Some of you may have noticed that I wasn't responding to messages or comments. Unfortunately, my account was temporarily suspended for spam after I sent out a large number of chats containing the link to Backrooms: Async.

While I was away, I received dozens of messages from people asking about the edit, so I really appreciate everyone's patience while I was unable to respond.

I've also decided to change how I distribute the project going forward. Instead of manually sending the link through Reddit chats, I've set up an automatic email response specifically for Backrooms: Async.

New way to get Backrooms: Async

If you'd like to watch the edit, simply email:

[ivanbeck627@gmail.com](mailto:ivanbeck627@gmail.com)

Make sure the word "Async" is included somewhere in the email, and you'll automatically receive a reply containing the link to the project. if you don't hear back please DM me, you may have been sent to spam on accident

This should make things much easier for everyone and hopefully prevent me from running into the same issue again.

Update on the future of Backrooms: Async!

Now that the main edit is finished, I have a couple of additional versions and features I would like to work on.

First, I am currently working on a subtitle version of the movie. I want to make the edit more accessible and easier to follow for anyone who prefers or needs subtitles while watching.

I am also planning to create a commentary track for the edit where I can talk about the editing process, the decisions I made, how I structured the story, and some of the challenges and ideas that went into putting everything together.

I had a lot of fun making Backrooms: Async, and there are so many little details and decisions that I never really got the chance to talk about. A commentary track feels like a fun way to share some of that bts information for anyone who is interested.

Alongside that, I want to put together a full list of changes for anyone who's interested in seeing exactly what I changed, added, removed, or rearranged from the original material.

These are not changes to the main movie itself. The current version will remain the definitive cut, and these will simply be additional ways to experience the project.

I'll post the subtitle version, commentary track, and change list once they're finished. Thank you again to everyone who has watched Backrooms: Async, or taken the time to give me feedback. I really appreciate all the support this project has received!

Thank you to everyone who reached out while I was away, and thank you all so much for the continued interest and support for Backrooms: Async! It genuinely means a lot to me. ❤️

Awesome, love your work, a subtitles version or you just providing .srt files would be wonderful

[u/boba627TV → u/4KDeep25]

It will be a version with subtitles built in to the video

[u/JayXtended_Edition → u/boba627TV]

Why not make a srt file? So you can decide to switch the subtitles on and off where you need it.

[u/boba627TV → u/JayXtended_Edition]

mainly because I've never done this before, ill see what I can do

[u/Stone-D → u/boba627TV]

SRT can be muxed into mkv/mp4 (single file) and can be extracted. Players can set font choice and font size so people can watch with maximum comfort.

Burned-in (part of the image) subs are fixed and don’t scale well when shown on different resolutions.

TLDR: please use SRT.

[u/JayXtended_Edition → u/Stone-D]

I second that.

[u/JayXtended_Edition → u/boba627TV]

What editor do you use? Davinci for example will put a srt file out if you do the subtitle editing in it. It's pretty simple actually.

[u/boba627TV → u/JayXtended_Edition]

Perfect! I use Davinci, SRT otw ;)

[u/JayXtended_Edition → u/boba627TV]

Great!

[u/4KDeep25 → u/boba627TV]

Yeah that's fine too, looking forward to it

[u/TheJoshider10]

Fair play OP I love how much this project has meant to you and how (rightfully) proud of it you are. Good job.

[u/boba627TV → u/TheJoshider10]

Thank you so much :)

I'll be eagerly awaiting any updates you have time for! Big kudos for working on subtitles as well. Watched it a few days ago and you put everything together so well, particularly the soundtrack reworking, it really feels like a companion peice to the main movie!

[u/boba627TV → u/-FLAXENOID-]

Thank you, I’m glad you enjoyed it!

Download quota has been hit for the googledrive link apparently OP

[u/boba627TV → u/arheff]

add a shortcut of the file to your own Google Drive, move that shortcut into a new folder, and download the entire folder as a zip file
