Same content, just re-written. Also, I'm fixing the typo now. Thank you =3
@OtakuGray
I'm not sure what you mean?
@Prodigi
Is your opinion that they are always wrong no matter what, or that they are done wrong so often you don't want white flashes to be suggested to people who will also probably only use them wrong? And why white flashes but not black?
@Godix
Well the guide already exists and has been up since 2004ish. So what you would be suggesting is instead of a rewrite, that we just take it down completely.
Right?
Aside from that.
The rewritten guide wrote:This guide is not for telling you when to synch or what type of synch is most suitable in certain situations or songs. It is only here to help give you an idea of what can be accomplished and how it can be achieved.
This is done by giving side-by-side video comparisons of a clip set to music that has not been synched and one that has.
[...] It also only deals with the most basic forms of beat synch - that which can be achieved in your specific video editor without any special effects. It teaches how to cut and fade properly, in reference to music, as well as assist in teaching how to read a song's waveform.
Remember that these are only examples, and you should make up your own ways to influence your own style of action synch.
The guide is for people who just picked up video editing and don't know how to chop up videos at all.
This is aimed at the people who take an anime scene and go "well this sort of matches" and just slip it into the timeline, leaving you with an AMV that has uncut scenes in it.
While it was, when it was written in 2004, a guide for cookie-cutter action vids, now its purpose has changed to just show what is possible to people who just really don't know.
While you COULD figure it out for yourself, I just figured a guide would be nice, so when you get people who are announcing their VERY FIRST video, you could just link them to this instead of trying to explain why videos that actually synch to music look better.
I mean, I've no problems taking the thing down completely. I don't mind. If it's really not useful, I don't want to add to the clutter.
But others have already said it's helpful, so, I dunno. -shrugs-
If they were just trying to be nice then, well, that's their fault I guess. Way to lead me on?
