the most time spent on an AMV

If I had a DVD player I might just do that, in the mean time I'll stick to my cheapo VCR rips.

I'm sitting at about 40-45 hours of lip syncing, finding and ripping clips, and editing on my in-progress video, hopefully it will be out by Friday.

Soul of an Angel took me probably 60 hours total for the first version, and another 20 for the remake. Don't remember which parts were the most time consuming, though.

Lipsync removal in Lonely Miracle - took me an hour to do a 3 second 18 frame cut.

Too damn long.

For Every Dream took me the longest. I'm not sure which hours I should be counting, because I don't usually keep track of how many hours I take to plan the video, or how long I take to rip the footage and encode the finished project. But I spent about 35 hours editing the footage in Premiere, over a course of three weeks. Two weeks went into planning it.

Most of my editing time went into making the effects look right, and making the timing more exact.

hhhm..
About 4+ months.
From concept to
story board to
gathering sources to
finding time to do the project to
final touches to
export to
final product...

All of this depends on what's going on and how the video is handled.

For me it's Evangelion Opus - about 200 pure editing hours (premire + photoshop hours). (considering I tend to edit pretty quickly, that's a large number for me - eg. resident eva - only about 30 hours)

About 100-120 spent on the original, 80-100 on the re-make. Partly because I had to re-edit all 700-900 cuts in the video individually and set about 400+ individual motion effects just for starters. Not fun at all. I'm just glad it's done. x.x

That's why always edit with a song that you cannot get tired of.

Cowboy Swing took me over 6 months... mostly on again off again...

The 2 Excel Saga AMVs, on the other hand, took less than 6 hours from ripping the DVD to Rendering the AMV.
