Re: [AMV] Erased - Castle of Glass
This is a nice song to use for Erased. =)
There were a few technical flubs that distracted me a bit during this video, but I can tell you liked the show a lot, and put lots of effort in making it. ^^

Re: [AMV] Erased - Castle of Glass
Definitely agree with Camichan. You picked a good song for the show and did a good job at showing the story. I also agree that your video had a few technical issues that were really distracting. The things that stood out to me the most were your fades to black and crossades. I noticed that your you kept crossfading to the next scene, and using a crossfade of only about maybe 3 frames. For a while, this caused me to not even realize that a crossfae was happening. Instead, I saw the transition to the next scene as being jarring due to me being able to tell that something happened, but not being able to tell what. So if you're going to do a crossfade, you should a least have the 2 scenes overlap for about 5 frames (I hope that makes sense). And if you don't want a longer crossfade, you should just hard cut without one.
I feel that your fades to black were jarring as well. Suddenly going from a bright scene to a completely black scene and then back to a bright scene has the same jarring effect as sudden white flashes. One way you can make fades to black flow better is to have the 2 scenes be on different layers. Then, extend one of the clips a few frames over or underneath the other. Lastly, fade in and out the 2 clips so that their fades overlap a little. Here is a visual example that I made to show you what I'm talking about

Re: [AMV] Erased - Castle of Glass
Thank you so much for your advices 
.
It's not the first time that i have this problem with my frames when i use crossfades . I'm already using this method to resolve it and reduce the number of scenes concerned, but i suppose that it wasn't enough . Thank you for warning me about it, i'll pay attention to it and try to ensure that this doesn't happen again the next time .
Concerning your second advice, I just tried this technique and it's true that the rendering is better . Be sure i'll use it soon .
