That and do you really want to spend your already limited time experimenting with complex audio effects/edits on a song that you won't know ahead of time?dokool wrote:You could always loop a beat or clip the song or something. The problem with adding effects to already-mastered songs is that it doesn't sound as good...trythil wrote:Like the "silence" effect?AtomX wrote: They can also add any effects to the audio that they wish.

Damn 56k 
An ocean of dust and randomly strung together pieces of hydrogen, serving no purpose other than allowing all of us to continue in our misery, doomed to an enternity of petty squabbles and meaningless ego trips, until the whole thing one day explodes and starts the whole shebang all over again. - Chaos_Angel

Hmmm.. Interesting concept...
Just some comments on the rules, what sort of output size you looking for? I would recomend keeping the output codec (mpeg1, Mpeg2, Xvid/DivX) the same for both sides to keep it fair... I would assume it's the actual video that is important and not exact quality (so as long as it looks ressonable fine, right?)....
Also, I would assume if your system uses a realtime editing card (DV500, etc) that not an issue as as covered by the varing system speed rule

There isn't any set standard encoding standard. People will encode to whatever they see fit. And as stated in the rules, if their encode looks like utter crap, that will reflect upon the votes of the judges. However, in the end, the actual editting will be the bigger determinant. Meaning, a video that looks absolutely gorgeous but has horrible timing and just retarded scene selection is more likely to lose to a video that has excellent timing, really clever scene selection, yet was encoded at VCD MPEG-1 quality.Vlad G Pohnert wrote:Hmmm..

Anyways. Glad to see everyone getting interested
Right now we have 8 official entrants, enough to make 1 bracket. I want to wait and see if we can fill up 2 brackets (16 people). I am going to set the joining deadline at 12/9 (Friday) at Midnight. So, encourage some of your AMV friends to join! If we get to the point where it's Friday and we have 15 people, I don't want to have to drop 7 people, and I'm not giving any by's in this tournament. So let's get some more people in here 
I'm having fun getting all the songs together Hehe this is going to be a very interesting turnout.Assuming we get 16 people, that will be 30 new videos spawned by the end of the tournament. I can't wait to see them!
