Today was the last day for video entries. Within the next couple of weeks and during the judging panel, we'll be going through them all verifying playability and double checking everyone's information for the title cards/screens. If anything seems odd, we'll be notifying each creator individually.

If you uploaded your video without any problems then we most likely have it, but we'll try to update the "status" on your Submission Page. Also, if you feel like changing your category please do so before we review them. We do on occasion re-classify videos if we feel they are more suited to a different category than what the creator originally labeled - especially if we have many more videos in a particular category than another, just to help balance things out.

Finally, if there is any questions, ideas or comments for the A-kon VSE staff, you are more than welcome to post them here and I will pass them on.

Good luck to everyone who entered and I will see you at A-KON 20!!

Yea, I never did get the combined categories thing you guys do. If you're still up on ideas to spread out your funding - how about splitting the categories up?

Years ago A-kon used to do seperate categories, just like everybody else. But just as the "quality" of AMVs evolved over the years we noticed that you simply couldn't categorize videos into one particular style. These groupings are simply a way for us to keep thing simple, both for presentation and cost (it's become increasingly more expensive for trophies & prizes). Every year is an experiment to try something new to improve the contests. Maybe one day we might try seperate categories again.

So, for anyone that has created a video with Sony Vegas pro 8, can any of you help me with the settings? Like the codec? Because I rather not screw up my SV while trying to get the right settings. Then again...I never learned much about codecs. o.o; I'm kinda clueless.

Oh, and if you know, maybe you can message me on my YT? Cause I'm not sure how often I'll check this. ^^ I'll bookmark it though!

Uh, my account is Demimew. I can send you what my settings are now and maybe you can tell me what I did wrong?

Assuming, of course, that Vegas's export procedure still looks like this in version 8.

Well I was at the AMV Amature videos and at the fanworks contest....

There was some videos that didn't play the video, but they would play the sound.....

Maybe thats just me, but I think they have that 'Screen go off on timer' thing set up... which was very annoying... and they had to play several videos over including my friends videos when I know that the video worked...

My video played on Section 2 on the last one on the Amateur videos "A dream is a wish" and the "Lord of the Jewel shards" on the fanworks contest.

Anyway I think there should be more of a catagory... because some videos that I saw would fit under the 'Inspiration' Category, like mine for instance.

But anyway it was nice other then that for me, and I liked the two minute intermission between each of the categories as well, that was nice.
