For I put a lot of time into this video and I would like to send it into a contest but I don't want the idea stolen for it's somewhat special to me. Is it safe to post a video and not have someone copy my video exactly and claim it as there own?

We don't make money off of this hobby of ours, and the communitee is still relatively small so the odds of theft occuring are pretty small. The worst thing you can do is dally around with your video, hording it away from the eyes of the general AMV community and then have some else come along with a similar idea that you had and post a video that is remarkably similar to yours -- same song/theme/anime/etc. They, of course, had no clue that your video was like theirs, after all, you didn't post it.

On the contrary, when people see that an idea has been used for an AMV, they think "oh, that's been done already, I can't use that." Or at least that's would they should be thinking...If they do copy, that's plagiarism, and they won't get away with it easily. And if you're really worried about someone claiming your AMV as their own (which will, almost undoubtfully, not happen), just put your logo or something in your video. It's not really at a high risk if you post it on this site. The more people that see your video will recognize it as yours, and not someone else's.
Go ahead and put them up. We want to see what you've created!
