OK, so I'm not really new but I've never posted before. I've made one AMV and want to make more, but I'd like some help polishing my first one, if I may be so bold. I have a question relating to the size (physical) of clips, before they've been ripped.
Now, I have a Mac computer, by the way. I've been working from THIS tutorial, which I was lucky enough to find on google, and when I tried to e-mail the maker, I got no response. So I joined, and attempted to PM the author. WHen I got no response I sort of forgot about my AMV. But recently I remembered, and decided-- what better place to ask than the forums?
OK, so here's my problem. When I ripped the footage from my video and eventually got it imported into iMovie, it still appeared as a widescreen clip. Did I miss a step in the walkthrough I've been using? Was it in the first stage (page 1 of the tutorial), perhaps in the OSex or DiVA part of the process?
Ok. My second question is-- in iMovie, I constructed my clips to form a movie, and got it uploaded to YouTube. However... by the end of the clips... there's still like an extra minute and fifteen seconds of black screen and silence. I have absolutely no idea why this is, unless I missed another step in the tutorial.
And finally, at the beginning of my video, the opening clip has a spray of random green and colors over it. I'd like to fix that too, if possible. However, my primary concern is the first 2 questions.
Thanks! ~Icy
