Where do I need to improve?

Post by Takako-Jin » Mon Jun 15, 2015 11:10 am

Right, so...
I have been editing videos for a while now, but am fairly new to AMV's.
Anyway, I made a few recently, and although I'm pretty confident, I want to become better.
So I was wondering if you guys could take a look at my vids and tell me where I can improve on in the future.
I'm already aware of a few mistakes..... ~,~

Here is my best one so far:

Let's start with the basis:

Watermarks, subtitles, those are some mistakes you can easily take care of. Now about the idea as a whole: it's only a promotion video, as an AMV I will hardly like it. Synch is required for a video but this video doesn't have it. Just for a few moments, take your time to listen to the music, so that you could synch in a proper way

Hi, thanks for your time. :)
I'll try to get subtitle-less material in the future and I'll try to sync it even better. ^^
As to the promotion video part, that wasn't really the meaning of it. I might have to make clearer stories I guess.
I do object on the syncing part though, as I did sync the picture to the music. ;) That's actually where I put most of my effort into. I'll try to do a better job at it though. ^^
Thank you again ^^ *bows*

The reason why most people don't use anime OP songs for AMVs is because no matter what you do, the vid will just feel like the actual anime OP. Adding in the fact that you used a very significant amount of footage from the OP, and that you even have the credits in them, its really hard to tell how much editing is even in the vid. That's why it feels like a promo vid and not a AMV
