Hi, i have about 3 AMVs that I've made in the past 2 years and i would like some feedback please! Thank you so much in advance.

I am a beginner and know nothing big about video editing. I am using Sony Vegas 11 pro. :) Once again, thank you!

I'll just repost what I said about your Hunter x Hunter video in the chatbox.

First of all, some of the transitions are a bit random. Also, not really much of a fan of dubstep, but it's an okay song, I suppose. I just don't see it having much to do with the anime or the syncing of the footage. Though to be fair, my knowledge of that series is fairly minimal to begin with, since I only read like one volume of Hunter x Hunter a few years back. The lip flaps present in the various scenes could've been handled a bit better, either by cutting down on their visbility eliminating them altogether. When using scenes from a show's opening or ending credits, use the creditless version of said scene. Those are usually found of the DVD/BD release of the show, which isn't a problem, since the quality of Blu-Rays is higher than that of TV-Rips anyway.

Overall, the video was jarring, but it wasn't the worst thing I've seen to day. I just had pretty much no idea what was going on and what lead to those various other fight scenes depicted and the video felt like dubstep set to semi-random brawls.

I've watched the bleach ones and the footage seems random,especialy bring me to life it's abit combat heavy for the song it just doesn't realy work.
the random jumps from fight to another are odd especially to me as I am a big bleach fan,it just makes the videos feel even more random.
the intro footage would have been better with out the text.
another idea might be to try and focus on one character instead of using footage of several different ones.
I think it might have been better with out the subtitles but thats just a personal preference

I agree about the song, i was taking a chance by doing something a bit different... I agree with everything you said, i am still learning how to use all the software i have gotten for this purpose. I also agree to the fact that there was no story line behind the video whatsoever, i kind of just went with what fit. It was a bit difficult to work with the song, but i really do appreciate the feedback, thanks for your time!

@Jinzo64 what do you mean exactly? i used just one character (ichigo) and the fights are almost all in order really, i know i jumped from one to the other, but that was kind of the idea, i thought it showed all the obstacles he had to overcome... Unless im misunderstanding what you meant. :D
