Editing Details:
Using Saw I-VI the storyline of Saw I is expanded to almost 2.5 hours to tell everything that happened before the infamous bathroom trap that started the most successful horror-franchise of all time.

I tried to keep the canon in mind as much as possible to tell a cohesive story and make it not look like a Youtube Saw-compilation, but with the Seth Baxter trap I removed the video showing Billy the puppet. There is now a loudspeaker telling Seth the rules of his games since this game was made by Hoffman and a Billy tape made by a copycat before we see Billy in a Jigsaw trap is just too abrupt continuity-wise.

Also some of the dialogue between Adam and Dr. Gordon is cut — the lines that make sense if you have no clue what is going on, but seem redundant after already having seen 40 minutes of back story and preparing the bathroom.
To match the footage of the later Saw’s with the greenish hue of Saw I the edit went through some colour corrections to get rid of the blue (Saw IV), red (Saw V) and grey (Saw VI) hue.

Unfortunately by the time of Saw VI the flashbacks have become so washed out that the image quality differs drastically from the previous movies ... a look I sadly didn’t manage to fix.
