Hollywood has been trying for the past several years to shut down edited movie companies, who provide a service of making edited movies to remove vulgar language, gory violence, and sexual content.
Hollywood dislikes the fact that people don’t want to be indoctrinated with their filth and trash. Hollywood was successful when they counter-sued CleanFlicks, FamilyFlix, and CleanFilms in July 2006. However, there were many other editing companies that were not part of the lawsuit and continued their service.
Recently, Family Edited DVDs changed their business model. Hollywood’s plan has actually backfired. Family Edited DVDs is known for producing quality edited versions of movies. Now, they have fully revealed their movie editing secrets to everyone, with their CD-ROM, How to Make Edited Movies. Millions of people now have the knowledge and ability to make their own edited versions how they see fit.
Why is this important, and why is Hollywood so upset? Well, it’s because people don’t want the filth and the trash. People vote with their money, and at the box office it is clearly evident that R rated movies are not welcome. According to The Movie Times All Time Box Office Revenue, there is NOT a single R rated movie in the top 10, nor in the top 30 (with the exception of Passion of the Christ). In fact, there are only 2 in the top 50: Passion of the Christ and Matrix Reloaded.
I bought their CD-ROM online at their sale price that they have going on this month. It is amazing! A complete step by step guide on exactly how to edit and what’s the best software to use. They have done a fantastic job providing this information.
While I steer clear of R rated movies, I have started to use their edited DVD secrets to edit my collection of PG-13 and PG rated movies, and it is working fabulously. Now I can be sure that children will not pre-maturely encounter vulgar language in children’s movies such as Shrek, Harry Potter, or Jumanji. What a great service Family Edited DVDs continues to provide.

It sounds like this book on editing movies will be a big hit. I recently ordered it, and it is exactly as you said, a simple step by step how to guide. I can’t wait to start editing my own movies.
I think it is great to have this information because this will provide a way for my family to enjoy movies without all the garbage. My kids get enough of that stuff at school. I would not want that to be in my home also. It only degrades my family but also tells others that what is being said is ok to say and I don’t want my kids to think that it is ok to see it, hear it or even be around it. Thanks for providing the information.
I am so glad that they revealed how to make edited movies. This will certainly help clean up our home DVD library of PG rated movies for our children. Thanks to LDS Resources for the insightful information. We don’t have cable and don’t go out to the movie theaters. I have bought edited versions of movies from Family Edited DVDs in the past and have to point out that their quality was much better than Clean Flicks. I will definitely buy their book!
I am SO incredibly glad to see this information available! I have been trying for years to edit movies myself through trial and error. Hopefully this will make my life much easier! Maybe Hollywood will finally get a clue and start making decent movies! (What a concept!)
I was so sad to see Cleanfilms and those other businesses go down, but I’m glad that there are still sites available to get edited movies.
