Started making videos in 96' which is more dated than the majority of people here, but new enough which I'm glad of, since I get to skip the 2-VCR era. Phew! ^_^

I didn't start editing AMVs until I got into college and got to use their JVC pro-quality VHS decks. It was still a 2-deck system, technically, even though it could do insert editing and had a good jog/shuttle controller. That was my bread-n-butter from '89 up to '94, when I graduated college.

From there, went to editing on Betacam SP in 1997 and dumping to VHS. In 2001 I edited nonlinearly for the first time, using a Lightworks VIP system, then dumping to VHS. In all cases, I was still working from VHS source.

Now, I have home nonlinear capability, a MiniDV camcorder for better VHS transfer, and a DVD-ROM player for rippable source.

While I might be the most outspoken geezer here, I must still give the title to Vlad.

The two-deck system was also used very extensively by Corn Pone Flicks' Matt Murray, a contemporary of mine who could do things with consumer-grade Sony VHS VCRs that I never dreamed.

Gee thanks....Hmmm not sure if I want the title king geezer!!

Anyway, when I did my fist video, it was with two VCRs. The recordeing one was a side loading JVR Hi-Fi machine that cost me about $800 US. The player was a top loading RCA that I bought in 1984!!

None had flying erase heads, nor very good editing capabilities so making music videos was HELL.... Funny thing is that I have all my videos and last year I put captured them into my computer, put titles on them and masterd them to Mpeg2 and DV......

Just think what they will say in another 15 years!! I'f I'm not dead yet and still editing (on who knows what) this question in this thread should really be interesting to answer!

Just without the anime of course.

Come to think of it, I think that DrDude of TS3K Productions has been making them for that long a time too, if not longer. As I've said to him, he's one of the early ones. :shock:

A little over a year now I think. Only done 2 videos though. I was reviewing videos 1-2 years prior though, I didn't feel like jumping right in but steaking out first.

I started a week before the AX2002 deadline :shock: So that was like June I think, luckly I knew how to edit already. I just had to learn how to rip dvds and watch a hell of alot of anime @_@ I watched or scaned my whole anime collection that week and even rented a couple, hehe.

FF7 & 8 were the main reason that had brought me into this scene. But now I'm no longer active because of work commitment (and slow comp.) Hopefully one day I'll be able to track AMV again and participate in outside conventions.

I just joined late this last August and made my first (and only) vid befor the trial period of premiere 6.0 ran out :D So I was a little rushed, but that's probably the only reason I finished anything at all.
