AMV Minis Entry Rules

[Useful]

You mention that if the picture looks bad you wont accept it. What about if it was an artistic choice.

I made a video using audio from the opening to the 80's He-man cartoon and video from Eva. I purposely made the picture quality VHS quality, kinda like watching one of the old He-man episodes on VHS.

Would that be accepted?

I vote cool on this too

"Also, please avoid putting the main joke within 1 second of the beginning or ending of the video, as the transitions may cut into it."

Do we need padding of some sort? i.e. or additional footage or a second of black on each end?

Also, what's the policy of putting one's avatar or name in the video? I noticed in AMV Hell 3 and 4 there were many logos in the lower right hand corner.

Don't put black, use additional footage.
AMV Hell 3 had logos but 4 didnt. I thought it was a bad idea after using it in 3, so no, don't do this.

Tutorial for compression is added to the rules post now.

I'm not sure, because WMM sucks and doesn't let you export as anything useful. Try this: http://www.animemusicvideos.org/guid...mm2export.html

Hello ! what is acceptable resolution ?

[Tazuto]

i cant get the avisynth installed, mainly because its failign to install the file windows/32/devil or something?

[Tazuto]

god these programs are confuseing, so i guess that one vid i already uploaded isnt the right format?

ok none of the programs you told me to get are working at all, the zarx program isnt letting me upload any of my videos into it, i cant even bring avisynth up, and saving my vids as DV-AVI make them a little skippy
