Many of the good editors on you tube that I know of just don't want people downloading their videos because they're worried about AMV thieves. And in my case, my computer won't let me upload anything to a-m-v.org.
I do respect that rule about ignoring you tube links though and it is one I considered adding to the MEP I'm coordinating.
I would like to respond to this, because when I said "no Tube links," I didn't explain my motives behind that. The reasons I'm against linking to that site are as follows:
- it kills audio quality, so I can't tell if you have a good concept of how to work with audio.
- it kills video quality, so I can't tell if you have a good concept of how to work with your footage.
- it kills A/V sync is many cases, so I can't tell if you have basic editing concepts down.
- Tube videos (or other streaming videos) are not something tangible; I can't keep them in a folder on my HD, making it annoying to review them when doing auditions. (Don't tell me about being able to download them - I know I can, but I don't know how, and have no reason to learn currently.)
It has nothing to do with the fact that many people from the Tube are poor editors. Hell, many people from the .org are poor editors. It's the same deal on either site; the Tube is just a much larger playground than here.
Also, if Tubers are really worried about AMV theft, they should upload their new videos both
here and
there on the same day, preferably right near the same time of said day. If you are the original poster of the video, you have proof against the theft since you can clearly see the "Date Added" option on both sites. Will this prevent other people from uploading and taking credit for it? No, but you'll be able to refute it with undeniable evidence if they do.
