Are logos looked down on?

I really want to make a particular video using Naruto but have so far only been able to find subtitled footage. Not wanting to go through with cropping every scene I continued my search and discovered the American version with the stuped cartoon Network logo. Do you think that it would be best to just use this or go back and use the footage with the subtitles, all of which would be cropped? I want my vid to look as nice as possible so that is why I am asking. If someone knows of a better idea let me know here or through a private message. Thanks.

This is why I don't use fansubs and diffidently don't use the cartoon network unless you want people to hang you here. My recommendation would be to crop out the subtitles. I have never used fansubs before and probably willn't. Good luck though with your video.

You could always buy the R2 DVDs...

When I made my first Naurto amv I found there were only a few parts where I had to clip out subtitles and even so I think zooming in a little or cropping the whole video would be better quality then getting rid of the CN logo, which I know pisses me off greatly to see.

You could mix footage from the two sources, just for good measure, so that you'd end up with a logo-covered AND subtitle-ridden work of art.

For an insane amount of cash like I did.

You should try to crop subtitles if you have a program to do so or just don't use the CN episodes at all. That's the thing AMV fans hate the most. Seeing AMV's with the Cartoon Network logo, especially the new logo, and especially with Naruto! Don't use the CN at all costs.

from what i can tell most people are pissed at CN for cutting up their favorite series, so I think you are better off cropping subs...

i'll think you'll find that the actions scenes contain hardly any subs so unless you use a lot of dialogue footage there wont be that many scenes that you would need to crop.
