Prelude to the End- Bleach AMV
Hello there this is my new AMV and my first post on this forum. The AMV anime is Bleach and the song is a remix of In the End by linkin Park and and Prelude by AFI. This is the first AMV where I have really tried to sync to the beat so any constructive criticism and feedback would be nice. Sorry if I have done this post wrong im pretty new to this whole forum thing

Re: Prelude to the End- Bleach AMV
Post looks good to me. For reference though, the vidid tag makes posting the video information easier.
You just put your video id (the last part of the url of your video's information page) in between the tags like so
and you get
The beat sync in your video started off pretty strong, but it started to waver a bit about halfway into the video...maybe it was just because there was more action going on that made it harder to see what was happening on the beat.
A lot of the cuts looked to be synced, but not all of them. My opinion is that every cut, fade, or whatever other transition should be synced to something. It doesn't always have to be the same thing, and it doesn't have to be at every occurrence, but it should (again, imo) follow some sort of pattern.
Let's say you were syncing to both the piano and the drums in the beginning. One pattern idea would be to place a cut at the first piano note, and then wait until after the 3rd piano note and then place a few quick cuts synced to the drums.
The next thing I'd have you focus on is syncing the action happening in your clips to elements in the song. Like when Ichigo was swinging his sword at around 2:13, I think it would have worked well if each individual swing was timed to the lyrics "...try so hard..." at around 2:09. I find that doing that usually means speeding up or slowing down individual clips in the range of +/-15% or so. Dunno a way to accomplish that in Windows Movie Maker though.

Re: Prelude to the End- Bleach AMV
Thanks for the feedback I appreciate it. Yeah I know the syncing got weaker in the middle but im still learning so hopefully I can build on this and get better.
