but oddly enough, you're editing is actually getting better
i didn't notice any major timing errors til android 18 kicked Vegeta's arm in in the beginning, and this was clearly ATTEMPTED to sync, it just didn't work out as well as some or ur other syncing

i will say that i saw a LOT more RELAVANCE between ur video clips and ur audio, a lot of them went together, and some that weren't even suppose to be together still fit nicely

example:
vegeta screaming Kakarotto!! went very well with vegeta becoming super saiyan and the timing with the scream was good... except that vegeta keeps screaming after the audio scream is over, but the frame changed so i'll give you that much

vegetto picking up super buu with an energy spear didn't really match what was happening, in reality, that sound effect was really just someone in super saiyan mode, but this still worked fairly nicely because you timed the sound with the energy spear that made super buu into shiskabob (sp?)

but goku screaming kamehameha while vegetto tosses super buu is one of many that just did NOT fit in any way or form... much like most of the sound effects from 1:23-1:51, as for what vegeta screams during his sacrifice, i don't know japanese, so it COULD have been something relavant, so i won't count it against you

0:00-0:13 was probably some of the best editing i've seen you do.
you had action syncing with the beat, and you also had syncing with the cuts between scenes, i think you just kinda lost it a bit after that kick, it was still not that bad up to 0:28, but once you got to that DBGT clip, it was just not working anymore for me, i think that may have been a point where you needed to take a break from editing (like a day or two) and come back with fresh energy to edit the way you did in the beginning

more examples of good scene selection, i guess so you know what kinds of things to try for in the future... though i pray you don't try to match sound effects until you get good at regular musik... and i'd wish you'd choose EASIER songs to make vids with, LP plays loud and complicated music... muscially, and remixes/dance songs are always a challenge

0:45-0:56this was very good editing with the background musik, but you completely ignored the 'kai-o-ken' in the background dialogue

1:14-1:16gohan screaming the dialogue worked well

2:37-2:50was good scene selection because of gotenks's cockiness, and the master roshi laugh was well synced, but you really should have synced gotenks laughing... and if it didn't have him laughing... you shouldn't have chosen that clip :?

last thing, i'm sure showbiz was fun.. but you really did go overboard with the speeding up of clips, just because a video is fast does NOT make that video better, if anything, it makes it harder to work with and it makes you think that there is better timing than there really is, it may keep the viewers attention for a longer time, but then the viewer isn't watching ur video anymore, they're just watching the pretty colors going by at incredible speeds

i say do us and mainly yourself a favor and start a video whenever you want but edit with it for a full week, or at least 3 or 4 days out of that week, but don't release it until you've edited it a couple of times so that you're happy with it and you feel that the scenes match the music AND the lyrics to the best of your ability

with how you're progressing through these quick vids, i think you'll learn a LOT more if you take your time and make 1 really good video instead of a bunch of average ones

Good that you liked some of the lyric syncs.
Only problem is i don't have any good program to make vids.I have made my videos (exept this) with movie maker 2.
But yes next time i edit my new video few days or a week or two weeks...

i wouldn't worry too much about what program you use, yes windows movie maker is very basic, but because it's so basic, it's pretty good to start with
this creator just released a new video and they used movie maker and you can see for yourself how their video turned out
http://www.animemusicvideos.org/phpBB/v ... hp?t=37901
i'll admit that i'm not sure i can do anything as nice as that video if i tried right now, but with practice everyone should be able to do anything they want right?

my advice is that you find some sort of anime that is shorter than DB/DBZ/DBGT
if nothing else, try using one of the movies
but make sure that you look at a lot of songs and find one that matches whatever storyline/plotline you're going to be using in the AMV

and don't forget that no one ever decided that you HAVE to use rock musik, if you got an old jazz song you've wanted to use forever or see in a video, i see no reason not to try it

glad to hear ur gonna take more of ur time on ur next video, whether you open a new thread or just keep using this one is up to you i guess... i only mention this because you've already released like 3 videos here... so it's possible that this has become ur AMV release thread, but of course it's fine to open a new thread for a new vidoe.... in fact, it's traditional
