i made my first AMV before i had any knowledge of cutting out subtitles. now i would much like to re-submit the AMV with the subtitles cut out, because before, it looked crappy, now it looks pretty good. how would i go about doing this?

Make a new video entry and slap a big "Remastered" or equivalent on the title, and explain in the video info how it's different from your old one.

That, or just stick with the old video entry and make one of your links point to the subless version, and point this out in the video info.

NO!!!

That's the last thing you should do. In fact it says on the first page before you can enter new video info that you should NOT do this.

The standard procedure, as detailed by the new video page is:

If you have a remastered* version of your video file, do not create a new video entry. Instead, contact Phade about having your video file replace (an automated system is being created).

While we are on the topic on this...

Say I make an AMV using Windows Movie Maker (which really isn't that hard to believe since that's the only program I have) and I create a vid that is basically one scene after another with minimal effects and fancy tricks.

What if someday, a more complex program like Premiere comes into my hands and I decided that my original video could look so much better and more like my original concept with this new technology. So I put in these effects, have scenes float around...have one scene go on on top of another and all that jazz that I really can't do with WMM.

So in the end I have a vid that is the same concept and idea as my original one but it is not the exact same AMV remastered with better footage due to all the new effects.

What would be the proceedure with something like this?

ARGH. I'm a moron. I'm sorry. I crave pardon.

How did I forget something like that? Well, it won't happen again.

To get back on topic, I must second Cy's question, as I might redo my "Otakudom" video with Premiere sometime in the future... I had about four-fifths of it done in 5.1, but then 5.1 stopped opening my project files right and I switched to Pro, so it won't be anytime soon.

The remake/remaster question has already been hashed out here.

The way I understand it, if you've changed footage, it's a remake and can get a new page. If it's the same footage, just cleaner, it's a remaster and should be replacing the old one.

Don't take my word as gospel, though. For a true, complete, and correct answer, contact Phade.
