[DXM]

four words:

Soft Subs or raw

[Riaki]

Thank you sir ^^

[SleeplessPanda]

They're not horrible, but they're far from good . . I've seen much worse, be happy that third one has so many views and comments. I'd kill for ONE freakin' comment on my videos in the directory. They're GOOD, I know they're good! Why won't anybody comment on them?? D:

[Riaki]

I guess I will Uhmm XD post the really bad ones now Lol

sorry had to cut that last post short.

It adds a bit more professionalism to your work.

with soft subs animes I usually convert their files (MKV) which every editor I've used can't read them to one that they can. The process dose not render the code for the subs. so you get a nice clean and mute video for your project.

[Riaki]

So it makes it have a clear picture? is what your saying right Lol

[DXM]

depens on the source and how you configure the render
( I use these guys: http://www.xilisoft.com/)

Here's two AMV I made of FLCL with windows movie maker

this one was was from an Avi of the dub. I never converted it

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fAFyRq0Nry0



this one was from a dvd rip(MKV) of duo audio
witch I converted but keep the quality the same


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UCFO_uVUOME

now I covert with the highest viedo quility Bitrate, around 2500, but I have 2.5 TBS of storage and a nice video card to mess around with.

[Riaki]

I really enjoyed the second one I could tell the difference a bit the first ones quality wasnt as good i'm still confused let me re read what you wrote haha ^^ i'm still very new to amvs and clip qualities so bear with me i guess :3

[DXM]

I'm more of a shower then a teller, sorry.

basically
Stay away of avi files unless you make them

don't bother with ratios , bit rates will tell you how great the video quality will be

and experiment with your converter

[Riaki]

so your telling me mess around with video converter and find out what qualities good cause you just told me your not a teller ur a showerer XD or however you spell it :3

[BohTheBear]

Like the other people keep saying, they aren't bad, but could use alot more work.

My problem with them is in the music department, I mean other than the subs (which have already been addressed) the music does not fit the anime you're putting it too. I mean, I'm sure there are ways to fit megadeth to Dragonball Z. :P

[darkzi]

ya big thing with AMV's..when you get a fast beat toss in multiclips or toss in an effect to suit or else..face it it knocks it down a few lvls

[Riaki]

I knI know I have alot to learn >.<

[BohTheBear]

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AwJQzVd3FYE&feature=related If I can use this as an example, you can see how the high spots of the song match up to something that happens in the video (Someone getting thrown into a building when they yell "Move!")

Also, I didn't notice if you were doing it, but I know alot of other people do it -Don't use clips from sites that put water marks on their clips.

[darkzi]

hey we were all n00bs at one time; I mean take my amv mini clips for example..got rejected first 3 times before I started to get accept...though I do have to make new AMV's on my youtube since I miss doing it but lack my muse

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vo5Q3sAqFFU this is also a good example of effects too

[Riaki]

the switching screens is the effect correct? and the over laying O..O

[darkzi]

both of them..just saying you another ones work so you get an idea of blending effects to go with it and that was done with regular adobe premiere so even a lil effects in the right spots can make it high quality

[Riaki]

I still dont know how to do effects O_O or anything thats probaly why I was never good at this in the first place XD

[darkzi]

hey I wasnt good at the first place you just gotta experiment
take for example one of the first FMVs I did
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tZo5QtS7Fhs
and once I got to trying out new ideas and playing with the programs

[Riaki]

I wanna O__O use sony vegas but i dont have money and pirating software is a pain

[darkzi]

face it I need vegas also but had to find a decent crack for the newer ones and face it..I dont spend 500 bucks on a program

[Riaki]

maybe we can find 9.0 somewhere pro ^^ O__O I dont think we should ask around isnt it against the rules to talk about pirated software here I wouldnt know this is my second day on here now

[DXM]

Sony Vegas movie studio 9 is $45 bucks

10 is $95

platinum( includes dvd architect and sound blaster) which
I bought is $125.


unless you are professionally editing I don't think you'll need the $600
Pro version.

Plus Sony has a hell of a learning curve.
I recommend Powerdirector for you right now (plus it's easier to crack)

[Riaki]

oh well im sort of lazy can you find me the crack or torrent :3

[DXM]

no, I have taught you how to fish. Now, you must feed yourself.

[BohTheBear]

Cracks or Torrents for that kind of stuff is easy to find.

ISOhunt and Piratebay are your friend >3 Your shady friends....

[Riaki]

I suppose ^^
