Sometimes, just wanting to see it finished is enough. But if you get tired, just stop and do something else, come back to it later.

Thanks for the encourage meant. I went go to sleep and wound up dreaming about the project, so it's back to work.

I never actually think about what's keeping me going... when I get in to a video, I actually can't wait to get back into it and sometimes force myself to take breaks... other times, it takes a bit of coaxing to get back into the rithym...

But yeah, it's not a matter of thinking that you have to do it. It is a hobby after all.

Oh wait, I'm forgetting about convention deadlines... now those are a different story :lol:

Reasons?

I really don't have a reason. I probably shouldn't be tring so hard, I'll end up burning out. I'm about as new to this as it gets (just got my first computer two weeks ago). It's just really fasinating :o

Just like me. :P Sometimes it's hard for me to work, so what I do is simply don't do it, I think that work on something like an Amv without the desire to do it is something really wrong. Other times.. I don't know, like Infinity Squared said, I actually can't wait to get back into it, I think I quote all his comment. :P

Depends if there's a deadline or not. If so, I just have to use my willpower and edit even if I don't particularly feel like it. If not, I'll just edit at my own pace, whenever I get the urge. It's much easier to stay motivated when you don't force yourself to edit, naturally. It's also preferable to do it leisurely because when you come upon a section that you're having difficulty syncing, you can step away and think on it a bit.
Burn-out is pretty much universal though, most of the editors I know have felt that way at times. Myself, I'll take a hiatus from editing for a few weeks and start working through a video game or two. That's what works for me.

You just feel motivated to keep on working on the project. Also like Icy said it depends on if there is a deadline. If there isn't one take your time and enjoy the project don't stress over it. The minute you stress on a project the less it becomes of a fun thing and more of why can't I finish this darn thing. Need to relax and enjoy the process of creating it. Take your time don't rush your work.

If "YE" can't keep up with the pace
Then just fall flat onto your face
And drop out of the human race.

Your motivation is yours alone.

Keeping Premiere Pro open even when I'm not using it helps sometimes. For me, the hardest part is getting started.

Sometimes I feel I can't go on anymore with this, whether it's due to lack of ideas, other parts of life closing in, emotional troubles or simple hatred for the worse parts and people of this hobby.

And then when I get over that mood, I have newfound inspiration. ;)

When I get burned out, I go suicidal.

Wait.

That's not right.

No...when I get burned out - true experience, too - I stop editing. In my most extreme case, I didn't edit a particular video for four months. I opened the project many times, but I never did anything. Finally, after that amount of time I spent just staring at it, I edited the rest of it in a couple of days.

I haven't really done a serious project since. My newest one is a serious project, and I find myself slowing down on that one, too. So, you know what I've been doing? Playing videogames. That always does the trick for me.

Anyway, I'm rambling. Hope you get your motivation back.
