To Be An Editor

Postby willpell » Sat Jun 05, 2010 9:28 am

I really badly want to start making AMVs, but I have zero technical know-how. Where is the absolute most basic "getting started" guide? Something that assumes the user doesn't know thing one about video editing software, and will walk me through the process of acquiring freeware programs, and learning to use them to rip video from a DVD, manipulate mp3 sound files, and otherwise assemble an AMV.

Read ErMaC & AbsoluteDestiny's Friendly AMV Guides Lovingly Overhauled Largely by Zarxrax

I know it can be a bit intimidating, it's a huge wall of text
but if you take your time, you'll see what to do next.

Step by step is the way to go, take it one day at a time
and soon you'll see
you'll make an AMV
just as easy as I made this rhyme.

Actually yes this it the single most helpful guide you will find. but do not try and read it all at once. Just follow it for what ever step in the process you are doing and eventually it will become easier over time.

there are actually video guides that are a lot simpler to follow since you can follow along while watching. I would use the video tutorials where available and if you want more info, go read the written guide.

Also I started singing to the 'To Be A Master' pokemon theme when I saw the thread title.

/me sings to be an editor. A master editor. XD

I wanna be an editor.

Like no one at my school

To cut and slide is my real test

To render is my cause

I will open firefox

Browsing far and wide

Teach editors to understand

that i'm the fucking shit

A-M-V!

Gotta cut and paste--

Just youtube me

I know it's my destiny

A-M-V!

Ooooh, you're my best friends

but you're all a bunch of fags.

A-M-V!

Gotta flash and blur--

Our hearts so true

Our sources will pull us through

Critique me and I'll flame you

A-M-V!

Gotta cut and paste!

Gotta flash and blur!

Yeeaa.

Every Mep along the way

I'll join and pussy out

I will edit everyday

Cause i don't have a life

Cum with me, and close the porn

And open adobe

Break Copyrights, and go to court.

Oh shit, that sucks, i'm sorry!

A-M-V!

Gotta cut and paste--

Just youtube me

I know it's my destiny

A-M-V!

Ooooh, you're my best friends

but you're all a bunch of fags.
