Need help with AMV making

Postby Uknohi » Sun Jun 12, 2005 4:14 pm

Me and my friend are making a music video with a remix song of Korn - Freak on a leash, now at the bigging there is a sound of a clock right now my friend says he knows of an anime that shows a clock ticking but just incase if anyone can suggest and anime and the episode that would be awesome, the second challenge is we want to make the faces from various animes show around the clock (I think that was his idea) have them say GO GO GO one after another only problem is I though it would be neater to have them faded into the background so for both I would need to use Adobe Premier and I dont know how to cut and paste face videos of them talking or make them faded into the background any help?

If you want to have just the faces, you'll need to use either After Effects for masking or Photoshop for frame-by-frame masking.

Also try reading manuals. They help.

If you don't have the patience to read a manual - I don't see how you can have patience for editing.

Sit down. Read it. Read the guides from a-m-v.org's main page. That's the only way you'll ever learn to edit well. There's no easy way or funky tutorial around it.

And, as I might assume, there may be some tutorials included with After Effects - even in the manual.

Go to a bookstore, or a library is they have them and get the series called:

Classroom in a book
for whatever program it is that you're wanting to learn. I've used and recommended them and have never had a problem. They'll teach you what you want to know. Also, the Adobe site has some nice tutorials that you can check out.

Essentially, I don't think anyone is going to go crazy trying to help you if you can't be bothered to slow down and check out the resources that you have at hand first.

Dude... just look up Matte, blue screen or Mask.

Any of those three will let you do what you described. All three are fairly easy to learn.

Clearly Maison Ikkoku is your answer.

And no one can force you to read manuals or guides... as much as we may wish we could.

I wasn't serious. Maison Ikkoku, the building itself, has a clock built in. So, technicall, it's in every episode.
