Complaining about the title is retarted. Good next point.
848x480 is just fine
It isn´t either. You´re from Hungary Christian and I just say that you´re like me and use the PAL DVDs. Therefore 768x432 is the highest ressolution (at squarepixels) that makes sense for encoding. After encoding you can let the container resize your vid for as much as you want.

-> The end of the guide where he talks about Sample Aspect Ratio.

However I do think that the visual quality was still alright. Just cut/crop off/out this nasty black borders and it´s good.


The atmosphere often got me. It´s really much better than your last vid in my eyes. Sorry, but now it´s time to complain: Your editing is naiv.

You can´t just think that you can keep on changing scenes with nearly every beat with a white flash. Especially when you try to keep up a mood and the anime has dark colours. That just doesn´t work!
For the beginning I thought: Yeah ok. It´s the intro and the flashes are on the beat, but keeping this on the whole video is a bad idea. At least there could be slight varitiy in this transitions, but simpel white flashes all the time? Noooo way!

Next: You can´t just change the sync! No you can´t. I mean how you did here. You screwed my mood man =/ After the change I was just keeping in wondering:
Hey is this serious or does my player suck right now? Why the hell is it offbeat now?
You start offbeat or you don´t. Ok it was some kind of sync behind it sometimes. Like 1 second after the beat came the change. Eh... or something =/
So this screwed my viewing experience.

I give you kudos, because sometimes there was a good atmosphere for me and it could have worked without the flash chaos and because of the effect at:
02:06 I have to work on the same effect for my video concept and this one looks good here. As good as Nostromo used it in Magic Pad and in every other vid that uses it. It looks good while it´s a really simpel thing.


Mhmmm... 3.45/5 ?

I wouldn' bitch too much because of the weird aspect ratio and the letter boxing, because you can easily fix it with VLC player ;)

I just wanted to add that I really liked your amv. The title was so perfectly chosen. I could have almost slept in at some parts. The music is really good chosen and the amv you did was a great success :D

I loved it!

Yeah, that was the problem, now on my new amv that was a problem too, rly didnt know the resu, thx for that :) Its rly great help to me :)

Beat sync off?O_o Well, i didnt realize that, always beat syncing after soundwave :S Maybe the flash was too long.

The rest of: I know, i should use more interesting things in my amv, but I didnt want to make an action drama vid. Honestly it is a rly cheap 5 hour work after played Silent Hill XD Yeah, i know that problems but I'm glad that you're always great help to me :)

Summa Summarum: My next vid will be the one that I'm rly interested and the only one with much work:) Looking forward to your comment there as well!
