Gotta agree with Akuma, it's grabbing the footage (esp. since most of my projects lately have involved capturing from VHS/LD) and getting it into the format I want to work with it in, renaming clips, getting everything organized, overcapturing to make sure that if one clip goes bad there's another one there, etc. It's definately the most boring part of AMV making for me, which is a pity because it takes so damn long...
Actual editing isn't too bad, but tweaking, doing photoshopping, etc. is also a pain...a more fun pain, though.
