THE ULTIMATE AMV RESOURCE.

THE ULTIMATE AMV RESOURCE.
Basically, I'm trying to compile a comprehensive list of useful AMV Information :book:
(aka stuff AMVers may want to know about if they are seriously interested in the hobby)
Here is what I've got so far:

PART A: LINKS



PART B: ONE-LINERS

      TIPS/ADVICE:
      • Be sure to take breaks from editing to avoid getting burned out.
      • Take breaks frequently, unless of course, you are editing Iron Chef :P
      • Try dividing your video into distinct parts that blend together.

      TECHNICAL
      • Always use Editing-Friendly formats* for making AMV's
      • Always Import AND Export using Lossless Audio/Video formats*
        *UTVideo.avi, HuffYUV.avi, Lagarith.avi, Uncompressed.wav
      • It helps if you have File Extensions showing to distinguish between file types.
      • Sending AMV's over the internet is a balance between quality and file size.
      • If you are going to clean your footage, try not to go overboard.

      FACTS:

      [...]



This was originally intended for those at A Taste of Animethon. However I thought I would post it somewhere for others to use and perhaps turn into a compendium of sorts,

so if you have LINKS or ONE-LINERS, post 'em |:> :amv:


Note: I would prefer short one-liners, but if extra details are required, just post them anyway. Worse comes to worst, I'll just add a link to your post, no biggie-- as I'm sure most of you have tons of advice to give... unless you don't feel like sharing what you know :cry:

a short tip: http://www.a-m-v.org/video/179243/VoteForThisInTheVCA

Text behind can be replaced with whatever you want, but it's meant for putting the video title there.

Updates are a good thing. Eventually, I would like to take the best of the best, and merge all links and info into appropriate sections in my own guide here

Lossless video and audio should go to the editing program, lossless video and audio should go out.

This can go instead of "Never directly use compressed audio for editing."

Oh, I see what you are saying. I'd like to word it differently though:

"Always Import AND Export using Lossless Audio/Video formats."
