Op posted. It took me about an hour to write. As with my other ops, I hope you find use from it.

Mini-rant: Perfect 10 scores with comments like "I like you, so here is a good score for your video" don't help anybody. It inflates video ratings, provides no useful advice/benefit for the editor's future videos, and waste space better used for meaningful ops.
The reverse is also true. Leaving retarded, 0 score opinions simply because you don't like them, the song, or the anime isn't any help either.

Judging from your character so far, I can't wait to see your fisrt AMV. Mine sucked. I had no motivation other than, "F*** you, Joe!" Hope you have fun making your vid, as that is the important thing. Welcome to the Org and have a nice stay.

:o Wow, I hear you man. Just the other day I was OPing a relatively populer videos, so after I got done, I saw the other OPs. In one of the (I won't point any fingers) a very respected editor with video(s) in the top ten, just left... *checks math*
1730 "NOM"s In Each, Freaking, Category. And I only had time to count the shortest category, so it got bigger. Minimum 5190 NOMs :? I almost started a thread over it.

Yeah. They're starting to make me giggle inside. Not only did one of them post a video that clearly does not have English lyrics (although I can understand some rudimentary German), but they don't even seem to be appreciative of the (now expired) offer! "It would be great" is far from "I would really appreciate." LOL. And then one has the gall to just post a video without any kind of message at all. I know who I'm not op'ing for! :D

@vivaldiscool: Yeah. If I were you, I would have posted a topic about it. There are endless suggestions, recommendations, and even a guide about posting opinions; but without any kind of "enforcement," the opinion system is going to be abused. It's just the nature of people in general. It's my own estimation that "Usefulness" is based (at least partially) on word count of opinions, thus that "nom nom nom nom..." opinion boosting both the video's score and the opine-er's usefulness score. Huge abuse, in my book. Then again, stirring the waters--especially when the editor in question has video(s) in top-10--is also a good way to make a lot of enemies, even if it does benefit the community as a whole.

@Hiro TDK: Thanks for the kind words :) I completely agree with your inverse of my example, but meant for that to be implied.

@JaddziaDax: Thanks a bunch for the link. Even though it's beta, I wonder why it isn't listed in the Guide list... If, in the future, you do find yourself "hurting" (or "hunting," as I first read it, LOL) for ops just shoot me a PM. :)


Got external harddrive today, so now I'm pulling footage from my DVDs. I really need to work on being more terse here on the forum... XD

it's not in the official guides right now because it hasn't been finalized, he is still making a lot of adjustments and such to it, and no stress :3

Welcome to the community, I suggest you start out small which gives you a firm grasp on editing and ideas. You could also look up tutorials or maybe a teacher I'm sure some people might wanan help or look into amv guides on this site, :D

Please and thank you.

LIke the others said, I'd be happy to help you out. Sounds like you're doing pretty good so far. :)
Posted my op of your video. It's not as detailed as my previous ops, but I also had a lot less to op. As with the others, I hope it's useful :)
