... no one can Import Divx nor Xvid's ...

[Scintilla]

If the people asking those questions couldn't find and read the forum rules, the sticky threads, and the ever-lovin' how-to guides, what makes you think any more of them will find and read this thread?

1). The must important thing to have is an idea that can become a Concept.

3). having -or- finding someone who has the music you need.

4). Taking these RAW ( as in non-Divx, Xvid, and or .avi's ) and beginning
the Editing process.

5). Correcting and arranging the Audio Tracks.

6). Exporting your Edited file into a "cleaning program."

http://www.animemusicvideos.org/guides/quuguide/
7). and finally, Having that Cleaning Program Finish the Video and Audio "final Processing" into Divx or Xvid or Real Media or Windows Producer for Public Distribution.

8). Now that your AMV has been Finalized, upload it.

This is all really confusing...

[Poetic_Kaos]

Seriously though Adobe Premier Pro cost close to 700$ (last I cheeked from the Adobe site). For that price one should expect it to import my peanut butter, jelly, bread, and then have it exported as a complete sandwich toasted and cut in half. Nah, screw that I want a 4-course meal served by a French maid.

wait... you can't import DivX? to premiere? then how the hell did I make my first 3 videos?

(sure the quality sucks on them.. but I made those before even finding out about this site )

. The point I was trying to make was that it is impossible for a newbe
to know what's right from what's wrong:. even seasoned pro's agree that "no one guide is complete!"
. There was a time when everyone wanted a step-by-step written booklet on
how to make AMV's and no one has ever completed one! - why?
? where are the pictures - showing the process ?
? where are the do's and don'ts with codec's ?
? what filters work best with each other ?
?? who set's the standards as a guidelines to others ??

-or- am I looking for something that can not be explained?
? what's a color smeer ?
? why do my audio encodes distort on playback ?

yatta yatta yatta . . . all I'm saying is that "we need some useful guides written
and we would prefer that nothing is left to chance when they get done with them!"

Both AD&E's and VicBond's guides have plenty of pictures, last I checked (probably Vic's more so than AD&E's).

? where are the do's and don'ts with codec's ?

I <i>know</i> EADFAG goes over codecs pretty completely. At least all the common ones.

? what filters work best with each other ?

Again, <a href="/guides/avtechbeta">EADBAG</a> covers this pretty well, at least the common filters. Those who care to learn about more can always pore through the AVISynth documentation and the Doom9 forums.

?? who set's the standards as a guidelines to others ??

I don't even know what this question is supposed to mean.

? why do my audio encodes distort on playback ?

That's what the forums are for, to handle exception scenarios like that.

all I'm saying is that "we need some useful guides written
and we would prefer that nothing is left to chance when they get done with them!"

And what everyone else on this thread is trying to say is that we already <i>have</i> useful guides and FAQ written (and many of the other common problems are addressed on the forums, repeatedly).

After having read this, I'm seriously beginning to wonder if you've even read the guides everyone else keeps linking to. All that stuff you said about a step-by-step AMV process -- it IS all there, in one convenient location. How much easier to find do you want us to make it?
