I would love to increase the volume of their dialog, but then you would hear the original "music" that I am trying to cover up here. I tried the technique of finding a surround sound rip of the episode with multiple channels of audio and isolating just the dialog channel, but unfortunately the dialog is on the same channel as the "music". If anyone has advice on how to isolate the dialog and/or remove the music, please let me know! Or if you want to make an attempt at just doing it yourself so I can stick the dialog in this video, that would be appreciated as well.EDIT: I remembered how there were complaints about how cheap and lazy the Blu-ray releases were and how there was definitely a lot more love and care that went into the DVD releases. I found a DVD rip of that episode, and the surround sound audio is definitely better! The dialog and the "music" are indeed on different channels there like you would expect. I used that audio in the video now, and I think it is much better with that dialog actually audible!

Help me plan another Star Trek fan video!
You may have seen me share sneak peeks of this video:
As the title implies, it is literally the Enterprise finale, but every time it fades to black, it plays the title sequence in its entirety.
There are 21 transitions in this episode, thus 21 instances of the theme song in this video. Right now, it is all just the season 4 version of the theme song. But to add some variety, I thought it would be neat to make some of them some different variation of the song.
Here is what i have planned so far:
My thought process is that it starts out playing the original theme a couple times, then the poppy version from later seasons, then the theme from the mirror universe episode (which I believe is the normal song, just with Terran visuals), then it really starts to go off-the-rails. Finally, the episode ends by going back to the normal theme.
The main issue that I see with this plan is that there are so many repeats, which I think I should avoid if I can. I do think I want some repeats at the beginning, so watchers are lulled into assuming the entire thing is "normal" before becoming chaos.
Are there other versions of the song that you can think of that I could use? Or clever video editing things to do or something for certain sequences? Or any other helpful feedback?
Another important thing to note here is that this all might be effectively just... a hypothetical exercise, in a way. Even if I eventually finish this project, I am not sure I really feel safe actually uploading it anywhere because the content of the video definitely goes past fair use. The joke doesn't exist without having the full episode in between the title sequences.
