I'm a newbie on the forums here and, although I haven't made any AMVs yet, my fiance and I have a lot of great ideas that we want to try out.

The only problem is that neither of us are very technologically savvie. Any pointers that you could give us (in laymen's terms!) would be greatly appreciated!

I think its time for...

Moonie's AMV Starter Tips Version 1.5!

1: Don't have subs in your videos (They can be cropped)
2: Don't have the DIVX logo encoded in your videos.
3: Make sure you have plenty of footage!
If you don't this will happen...

Be warned!!!!

4: Don't let scenes run on too long just to fill in a part of the video
5: Don't have lip flap unless you are trying to lip synch
6: Don't Edit with Divx or Xvid footage
7: While mp3s can work its best to use wav in video editing
8: Don't have stray frames
9: Drink lots of sake
10: Have fun!
11: Make the top 10 list
12: ???
13: Profit?

For more help be sure to follow the guides ^_~
