After much looping around when entering the information for my AMVs, I realized that checking the boxes next to the music and video footage is a bad thing...
At first glance, it looks like you need to check the box before pressing the continue button to add the song/video to the database entry. However, checking the box deletes the song/video from your entry whether you press the continue or the delete button. There should be a little note somewhere that says "Do not check the box unless you are deleting the item"... or something like that...

yeah, well at first glance it looks like it would work like this:
check box and delete = delete
check box and continue = add
do not check box and continue = continue without adding
Instead, it works like this:
check box and delete = delete
check box and continue = delete
do not check box and continue = add
It just seems to be a little counter-intuitive. I did figure it out eventually, after I looped through the process about 4 times. I did see the delete button, and I realize that using the checkboxes will take an action on the item next to it. It just seems that if you check them and then hit continue, it will finish adding them to your entry. It is not obvious that the listings next to the checkboxes are already part of your entry, and the fact that the checkboxes are only there to delete is not obvious.
