Don't worry that guy's a fucking retard, I'll watch your video and get back to you with something CONSTRUCTIVE. YOU HEAR THAT POTTU?! CONSTRUCTIVE, DICKFACE.
Update:
Okay I just watched your video; this was actually surprisingly good. You got pretty playful with some of the lyrical sync, your video was watchable: by this I mean you weren't spamming effects and your cuts were long enough that you could actually see what was going on. I'd complain about the overuse of fades but it seemed to work so well here I really can't. Now brace yourself for areas where you can improve.
First of all I'd recommend reading the guides here on the site. You can find them on the side bar of the main page, or you can just go here:
http://www.animemusicvideos.org/guides/
Most specifically I'd recommend reading this one:
http://www.animemusicvideos.org/guides/avtech3/
It'll give you some really helpful information on some technical things, like what your aspect ratio is and things like that. Yours is very wrong in this video. Advent Children is supposed to be 16:9 but this video is in 4:3, which is actually a common mistake among starting editors anyway so I wouldn't worry too much about it. The only other issue I had with this video was the actual artistic merit of it. Combining such a common song with such a common source might have worked in 2004 but we're all a little more pretentious around here than we used to be, so maybe try to artsy up your combinations a little more. If you don't feel that drawn to anime, don't force yourself to watch it just to keep editing. You can always pick up editing with live action and the process is just as enjoyable, although the community is a little smaller.
In short you've got a ways to go, but reading some of those guides will only take up some of your time, and none of your money, and that's why we have hobbies in the first place: because we have time. So get to reading and enjoy yourself, and if you have any questions you can hit me with a PM on here any time you feel the urge. Sorry your welcome here wasn't exactly pleasant, and I wish you all the best in the rest of your editing career.
