WEll, after a PC Wipe because the computer was ghey, I'm now in the middle of cut funding. Apparently ZiRC is fed up with all the gay AOL IP dodgers and banned everyone using it. Since I'm the only one on #AMV with AOL, things like that happened.
Well, the good news is Premiere and all the8.47s are on the D:/ Drive which wasn't affected by my brother's PC wipe. The bad news is, all the DLL files that Premiere used was on the C:/ Drive. Yeah, you know where this is going. Well, I'm reinstalling it, and at the same time finishing all the non-Premiere preparations. This way I'll have a beta out soon. I don't want school to start and not have something tangible.
I am now competing with Decoy as to who can finish their MEP first. he does seem to have the upper hand, but the remaining people might get the blue Screen of Death for the next 3 weeks straight. With Microsoft, any type of crap is possible.

O snaps.. Two Consecutive 8.47 Updates. I guess being banned from ZiRC got me a bit focused..
Ok, well it seems that the problem I had was primarily with the version of Premiere I had before. It was this weird.. crack... <_< that it was on.. yeah.. it was high. Before it wouldn't let any 8.47s other than Fall's and Haunter's on so it was pretty ghey. I got a better version now and it's working out fine. However some of them are looking stupid right now and I'm seeing if I can fix that..
Rut's beta took all the 7.53s that one editor had and put them in a row. I'm thinking of doing it the same way unless I can find a creative way to put the pieces in order.
Oh, and now to my main problem: Transitions.
I'm not one with effects. I don't know how to Kooptangle or Hex or Squareanzi a bad video into awesomeness let alone a good one, so I'm kinda teaching myself transitions at the moment. Problem is, I'm doing it in Premiere. Most people, well the few that have told me, say that the transition effects in Premiere are barely competitive with Microsoft Powerpoint. And unless I'm not doing it right, I think it's true. I had After Effects on my computer and had no idea how to use it.. so I got rid of it. So now, there's a few roads I can take. THere's the learn how to do the professional transition part, or make/find a cheap transition like the Static TV screen in AMVHell3.
Suggestions?

As for a transtion, I can't think of anything atm, but I don't think Rut's beta of 7.53 had them in order by creator (at least not Entirely).

Here are a few suggestions for you, Skylink:
- Just do a Cross Transition on video and Audio Gain Transition for audio, so they run together. This option works best if you want one seamless video, but it will require arrangement that makes the audio flow well.
- Maybe something like RollTheStampede's PSP transition for Azumanga DIE-OH 2 - freeze frame last image of current video, shift to first image of next video, and go into the next video.

The Promo, and somewhat beta. this is about 3/4 of all the 847s. It's missing Kio's, G_Qs, one of mine, and one of Haunter's. Then I'll need an Intro, and Ending (Fall gave me a suggestion for an ending, but it might be pretty long. Oh well..) and I have to redo the Anna Works It one, which got death in our comp wipe.
Oh, one more thing. I need you guys to tell me your sources and stuff. I know most of the video sources, but I mainly need to know the name of your audio sources.
Oh, and please, bother Rut on his forum. I don't care if you poke him, raep him, make a picture saying "I'm on ur forumz, asking for mah 7.53z.", just do something. 8.47 won't be right if it comes out before 7.53.
