I recently found out that this can also be applied to 0.2, as it's the same kind of file format and they're both made in Unreal Engine. I was morbidly curious and pasted this in 0.2's movies and it worked perfectly.
It worked for me. I renamed the original Copyright.mp4 to Copyright2.mp4 (a backup) and pasted the new file in KINGDOM HEARTS III\Content\Movies\en folder.
Combined with this mod https://www.nexusmods.com/kingdomhearts3/mods/145 (that goes inside KINGDOM HEARTS III\Content\Paks\~mods folder) two seconds after opening the game there is only the title screen without having to press any button.
If this doesn't work for you it may be because of your Operative System or you're lacking a codec/video.
Hey, I got it working. And the funny thing is, it took a Linux user to figure this out. This is the command I ran to make a file from the original (Sure I could have run a GUI app, but for this stuff, opening up a terminal is just as effective and faster).
For Linux users: ffmpeg -i oldCopyrightfile.mp4 -ss 00:00:00 -t 00:00:03 -vf drawbox=color=black:t=fill -c:a copy Copyright.mp4
I used ffmpeg to convert the video. So, my input oldCopyrightfile.mp4 (I renamed the original file). Then with -ss, I start at 0 seconds. All the way to -t (how long I want to to be). I bumped it up to 3 seconds so there is no fatal error when starting the game.
-vf drawbox=color=black:t=fill just fills the entire video with a black overlay so you don't see anything rendered from the original clip. The video codec is different due to the overlay. But that doesn't seem to matter. Also, audio codec is the same as the original file. Just as long as the mp4 file has both a video and an audio stream, it doesn't matter. -c:a copy just copies the audio codec (which has no audio output on the original file anyway). And of course, the newly rendered video is outputted as Copyright.mp4
FYI, Windows users can do this too like so (Example): C:\Program Files\ffmpeg\ffmpeg.exe -i oldCopyrightfile.mp4 -ss 00:00:00 -t 00:00:03 -vf drawbox=color=black:t=fill -c:a copy Copyright.mp4 For C:\Program Files\ffmpeg\ffmpeg.exe path could be different depending on where you have ffmpeg installed.
So, no need to download a video file now. Just make it from the original with command I specified. And if it needs to be longer, set the -t 00:00:03 to a -t 00:00:04 or something.
PS: I guess I just proved that gaming on Linux can be awesome. Now, I am going to play KH3 without that pesky copyright video. :)
added in both folders, still crashing with fatal error, if someone can provide me a backup to fix my stupidity of not making one myself i'll be thankful, i have the good ol' "jack sparrow" version and don't want to have to download it all again
Edit: aparently it fixed itself, have no idea how it worked but aparently i just have to not be focused on the game while it loads Edit2: nope i take it back, worked once then i tried putting another mod and it crashed, then i disabled the mod and it's still crashing. The game works when it wants to now i suppose
Nope, still waiting on one, but as i said it seems to work, with enough persistence you may be able to open the game, i almost crashed my pc because i opened like 10 instances of the game at once, 3 of which actually opened
Hey i seem to have got it to work, i have no idea if this is the solution but just create a "~mods" folder inside your "installpath/KINGDOM HEARTS III/Content/Paks" and see if that fixes it, if not then i have no idea why but my game is working fine again.
ok soooo. IF YOU STILL HAVE THE ORIGINAL VID IN THE JAPANESE FILE. JUST COPY THAT AND PASTE IT INTO THE ENGLISH FILE AND ITLL GO BACK TO NORMAL. SIDE AFFECTS MAY INCLUDE JAPANESE STUFF IN THE BEGINING
Okay, replaceing this skip copyright doesnt work, after 2 seconds white screen then fades to black screen then it crashes and pop the message "FATAL ERROR"????? Why is it doing this? i do not understand??

but man, i wish this mod worked, loading the game up in general is already quite time consuming and they had to just pad it out even more
