I agree with Greg about the beta, guy. Although i like the rest of the beta, the vocal parts are terrible

. I had a good laugh at the skittles and the rabbit parts

To the beta:
0:00-0:03, I like what you did there, but I agree with Greg on the zooming out planet.
0:03-0:12, if you are going to synch the whatever-instrument noise then synch all of the beats, not just the first 3 or 4 lol, kill the media generator (yeah the mist), change the scenes with the screams at least, but seriously that part was terrible (no offence).
0:12-0:14, liked how you synched the drum beats here, can you feather or make more smooth the borders? and maybe some glow to give a different effect O.o?, but still me likes

.
0:15, I agree with WC here
0:16, please tell me that thats part of the anime O.O, if not then kill whatever effect you used there.
0:17, ZOMG SKITTLES

0:22-end, mmmmm the black parts make the thing look strange, I bet it would look better with less black border (like those old movie stuff O: ).

but at least is very upbeat

, so you have that right and the bunny parts were awesome, I vote to leave that for extras or stuff at the end of the MEP (credits especial?)

let see, you know that Crack has been doing a lot of AMVs in a very short period of time lately, right?. His work reminded me of how fast the rabbits can have their childrens

, so since some 5 AMVs ago by him I started saying that he was the rabbit of our studio :3. Now I was wondering who was that gave him all the "motivation" to make so much bunnies (AMVs) and thanks to guy I know now

who said they were adults? :3 Rabbit-loli!!

As for the earth thing, i had a feeling it wouldn't fly. (JOKE!! :O) As for the drum beats ...they are all synched unless i missed some ...but it looks fine to me

Maybe you just can't see the frist ones, they sort of blend into the clip, i'll make them stand out a bit more.
I can kill the media generator, i though it would synch with the 'wao-wao-wao' sound, but it didn't.
I'l see what i can do for the yelling scenes ...but i don't really know what else i can do, it's not exactly a movie that has a lot of funny scenes. I can zoom in a bit on the clips ...but i don't know how car i can go without compromising the quality.

You sent me a close-up, right? That's what I'm talking about. There's gotta be more of those. Find some where they talk, and lip-sync it.

wait, you sure we are talking about the same drums here? O.o

you would need to make the media change it opacity or something so it can synch the sound in a more "noticeable" way, but as it is now it looks just random and pointless, though if you are going to make lip synch there then I suggest you focus more on that, or else no one will care about your lip synch while watching.

Skittles parody? O:
I really can't suggest ideas really since I haven't watched that anime and so I don't know what kind of clips it has lol. Try editing while you are drunk?

lol

lol, btw, does anyone know HOW to get rid of the black letterboxes for the last part? I sure as hell don't.

Sure. Guess #1: It´s a setting of the effect
Guess #2: It´s a setting of the malfunction effect

Solution: Just render out a clip without the bars (crop please) and use it instead of your current footage. That´s all.

The beginning: I don´t like this grey mix. Would you like to try out some blending modes instead?
Personaly I like the way the earth flies into the background
00:04 Forget the overlay! Seriously. It´s just grey and imho: whatever. Try a blending mode =/
Do you really want this small sentence flying aroung? Than make it more attractive please. Better fitting colours plus... well a blending mode for a good aura
00:05 I like the way you put in this scenes to make a motion patern, but... blending mode to go away from this grey stuff. The theme of the amv is "happy"

Yeah make the bars opacity stronger. Or... *chough* blending mode ("Add" or "hard light" or whatever)
00:08 Eh. I´m not a fan of the horizontal bars. Ugly colours and... I don´t think that they give the video something (at least now they don´t imo)
00:10 Guy goes media generator! Mhmm... Well ok, but I think that there must be a way to make it more attractive for the eye. Your part is still pretty grey you know?
I don´t like the old yelling man
00:11 Overall said: work more on the lip sync
00:12 pretty rough. Is there a way to make it smoother? Like slower and not so much? Maybe try with shapes too
00:13 I feel as viewer that there should be something more or different. Like.. that the background changes fast. If the same thing drags on, it´s just to long. however I don´t see a good way to break the style of the flying pics, so I suggest to change the background fast (don´t forget the blur!)
00:16 The generated media sucks
00:18 Ok... Use a blending mode. Make the skittles more attractive and give them an aura and it´s alright.
00:20 You could drag on with this neat line and sync many of them with the guitar riffs. The background looks nice. Maybe some more contrast for the black&white stuff, but it looks nice. I think that this could work until the end of your part. A yeah... Try a blending mode for the stripes too please

00:23 Definatly: Make it faster... The dynamic way. Maybe Sony Vegas is too slow (I think that it can only make velocity up to 400%?), but it could work. I´m not sure if it is because of the 16:9 bar (you´ll hopefully don´t have in your final encode), but the bar is just too big here.
