Update:

I have obtained premiere and after effects on my laptop, and as this week is my spring break i hope to have a beta to you within the next 7 days.

Also if anyone knows of a good tutorial for these programs please direct me, because that might speed me up a little lol.

Okay, I think I sent my beta to everyone, let me know if you have any suggestions :) Also, I would like to see your betas, only one person sent me a beta so far, so please show me your betas if you have.

In the Compose Message page, to the left there's a box that says "Send To" just enter the usernames there and hit Add[To].

Downloading the betas just now, posting my op later.

As for my track, I haven't figured out how I'd like to change it yet and anyway I can't edit until my new mouse arrives because my current one likes to have a spaz attack every 2 seconds and goes mental clicking random things on the page so it's basically useless. :(

Pan's track:
Spoiler :
I think your sync/pacing is a bit off. Sometimes it's too fast, sometimes it feels a bit too slow. As for what you can replace the swap transition with, have you tried just using a hardcut or a fade there? Same for 0:17 with the colour bleed crossfade. Oh and I like your scene selection for the most part but I don't get quite the biker scene is there in the first second or so and who is that in 0:39? :?


Mystyk's track:
Spoiler :
I love how you included Kurumi in this. :up: Especially around 0:19 with the mask, really adds to the jealously feeling of her being left out because Kazehaya likes Sawako instead. Also your sync to the beats with the blurs is pretty well done too. :mrgreen: I think you have a strange-ish fade between the second and third scene, maybe just lengthen it a tiny bit. And I think you can switch the crossfade with a hardcut around 0:15 between the two scenes where they're smiling at each other.

Thanks for the input. The first scene, the slower scenes and the one lipsync part that doesn't really fit are just fillers for now. I did use a dissolve transition so I guess I should take that out? (What's a hardcut?) 0:39 was the girl that kissed him earlier in the AMV and she is watching them cross through the gate that she couldn't pass with the man she loved because they weren't truely in love. I think I covered everything. I was wondering if you were referring to the pacing towards the end?

She's saying not to use a transition, just try letting the scenes switch.

Pan:
Spoiler :
The thing I noticed right off is there are lots of blended frames, try and see if you can fix those. Pretty much agree with AmioAio, not a fan of any of the bike scenes. Would like to see the pace pick up at 0:27, it looks odd because the music gets faster but the editing stays the same. And despite that, I think 0:34 flows pretty well [along with pretty much anything I haven't mentioned, lol].


Mystyk:
Spoiler :
Really like this one, has a nice flow to it. Digging the quality too. The fade to grayscale one scene has looks kind of weird, but that's likely because I can't see how it transitions into the next scene yet, so probably just me. Nice work so for :o

Thanks. Passed the Bike scene is pretty much filler, I haven't finished adding more to it yet to pick up the timing. I do know how to fix the blended frames now!

MystykAMV: I don't know what to say...think I have to wait until you show us the whole beta so I can give you my opinion

pan_dbgt01: I think the second half should be a little bit faster (means faster scenes or cuts)

Thanks for the ops guys, I'll do what I can, and I'm sorry that it's so short, also, at the end I just put those scenes, but haven't added effects yet, so that's why it's so raw :P sure JadeCharm, but then you'll have to wait a bit more :P
anyway, thanks again, I'm glad you're okay with my part so far, hopefully it won't take long to finish :) (and I still haven't got any betas apart from pan_dbgt01's, so please *cough* I want betas *cough*)

I thank everyone's input, but I did mention that the end isn't finished yet. I usually have a vision and make a complete video and then go back to make it all fit togehter.

I'm taking a small break. A few problems to overcome. I'm curious what the final due date is?

There is no set due date for the MEP. I'll compile a little bit of the MEP everytime I get finals for back to back tracks. Until it is ready. The MEP however won't be finished until everyone is comfortable with their tracks and turns in the finals to me.

I am curious however as to when I will be receiving more betas. I'll have a new one of mine for you guys sometime soon.

I can turn one in soon. There is just another AMV I need to start soon. Maybe next weekend or Monday following because I usually have busy weekends involving groceries and kids.

alright just thought i would update this, i broke my glasses 2 weeks ago and have been unable to edit due to the fact that i can't see shit. I do have contacts but they hurt when i stare at the screen for long periods of time. My glasses should be getting fixed soon so ill hopefully have something soon.
