Will do Opinions for BETA if you want!!!!

OK...so this is my new beta...and I really worked it. This is 3 days worth of editing.... one day to cut the song. (in WMM...talk about hard...doing it by ear, learning the lag...etc). 2 days on video.
I used a lot more effects in this video....than ever. !!!!!!!!!!!!!! They are all pretty much fades....but I didn't realize that a fade could almost overlap a whole clip!

OK....
:07-:08 does that ease in/ease out work? I still can't tell you if I like it or not.
:18 black flashes on beats, does this work? It's slow, so I didn't think it was distracting
:50 does the fade where the scene her jacket comes off flashing in fit? and the next set where her head arches up, as her head comes down in memory? Does that whole section work well?
1:08 - 1:10 I know I still need to tweek the lip sync, but does it fit?

Overall - Have I steamed up the series? Does it feel sexual, angsty, and frustrating?
What did you think overall? Is it going in a good direction? Does it start to set up the love triangle a bit? I know I have a lot of one couple right now, but the other couple will make into it more?
I'm editing in WMM, do keep that in mind

And if you are bored....I threw something little together as an experiment with different DVD ripping programs: This one is Gundam Seed with Social D's Reach for the Sky ----an actually going to do an AMV to this song....one day. Just not with all GS. You don't have to beta this one....I was just testing footage quality. But if you know of any free DVD ripping programs, I'd love to check them out - Vista compatible ones
