Did you know?




That out of around 4 thousand members, not even HALF of them have made a video??

Not even a THIRD!

Possibly a fourth.

Now, why are people joing a-m-v.org if they're not DOING anything? I was browsing this website for atleast a month before I joined. I made sure that if I was going to join, I wanted to have a music video.

So, why DO these people join? I could understand if SOME of them haven't finished their first yet, but that can't be the case for 3 THOUSAND(ish) of them! Right?

So do they only join because they feel like it? Because they want to post something in the forum and insult everyone who makes AMVs because they can't make one themselves and want to appear "too good to make AMVs"?

I wish I knew. . .


((Did you also know that OhMyBelldandy009 has no AMVs coming? Not even planned? Did you take a look at her profile?? That ONE SENTENCE sure tells us a LOT.[that makes sense two ways. . .hmm. ANd you DO know I'm only saying "OhMyBelldandy009" as an example right? You KNOW I don't have a thing against her, RIGHT?] Well, you can tell I've had a bad day can't you? Wow, I hope I have some sort of wierd AMV fan or something. [kind of random comment]))

uhhh... there's actually around 40,000 members, not 4,000. And about 35,000 of them are idle. And please do not make this a multi-topic flame war. She said 3 words and they got you THIS pissed?

Well, and here I am. One of those many members who have not made a music video. :lol: Remember, this site is for the OVERALL enjoyment of Anime Music Videos. :wink:

Oh ya, did you know OhMyBelldandy009 has another member name too? That's the one she use for vids, profile and Journals. She said she is unable to post in the forum with that one, so she made another one for the prupose of posting. Make sense? There ya go. :D

I made a musiv video with no knowledge at all of this site. When my friend that started making them at the same time said hey, I just came across this awomse site that will get or videos watched, I joined. So it does seem kinda screwed up to me that so many would join and do nothing. I'm not about to point fingers because I'm weel aware of second handles, but there are thousands that didn't ever do anything. There are also hundreds of members that are not idle and do nothing, if not still thousands.

another thing a noob should do is the same thing any of us that are any good did. Make a video with Windows Movie Maker, it's a great learning tool and we all did it at one time or another.

..I didn't.

When I first started making vids, I used Premiere from the very start. No WMM for me (Besides, I was using 2000, XP hadn't come out yet and ME was crap)

eeh, straight to Premiere for me, no WMM or anything else.

and, uh, I think it's a little presumptuous to say that "any of us that are any good" used WMM once.

Someone might get offended, or something.

I said used at one time or another. I didn't necisarily say they made a video, or use the program ona regular basis. But common, everyone is familer with wmm. And it's not such a bad idea for a noob to experience with it.

#10: Yell at Jbone.

Well there are people out there who make vids but cannot distribute them.
So in other words, one part of the community is waging war on another part of the community because they take their community seriously enough to want to do so. Then they tell the powerless side to get over the loss cause it's just an online community. I'm glad people make so much sense." -- Tab

You know what helped me :O

Porn!

Tis true, porn got me really rolling into video editing.

God damn MPEGs, so much space being taken up >_<. What? I remember seeing something on D---i--v--x? back in highschool a bit ago ?

VirtualDub ? What what is that?

How do I use this thing? The porn is in, but I can't get it to convert ?

read guide...

ahhh :O I need to enabled full processing. Oh and there is a compression option, and oh a codec isn't just a piece of software, it's more of a component for the vfw interface(well I didn't really think that at the time :\ ).



Needless to say, I converted all my porn to like 300kbps divx files with 64kbps mp3 audio.. Moi haha me was the l33t I thought.

Then it all fell into place after that. Actually, I got Premiere and then I got depressed from watching Misato die and I wanted to express my rage and I sat down for a weekend and made The Final Day using transitions shutter, a fansub mpeg1 version of EoE & virtual dub. I converted the clips to 6000kbps divx3.11a files and then imported them in. I didn't know how to cut files up or even how to speed up slow down clips >_< . Such a newb as me was :p

Oh man, that was said. I was speeding up and slowing down clips by adjusting the fps in virtualdub, how sad is that >_<

Hehehe. But I didn't bug anyone about it. Nor did I annoy. I read the manual and err read the help forum and played with the effects.
