actually i can't help you in the effects section and you might remember why
so all i can say is the good choice if scenes can make miracles with
a very strong beat like your last time and you will be so fine

i learned that some times you can use the accidental sync with some effects
to make what i call a super beat and that gona make your heat
rip of your chest

that all i have and i hope it helps

uhoh! he's gonna ruin it Surprised

I am? I'm not that bad of an editor. On top of the fact that this offers me no help what so ever, Knowname. Think about what you are gonna say next time please. This is a topic regarding help, not flaming. So, I would appreciate it if you stuck to the topic.

Anyway, again, thanks for all the help guys. I do appreciate all the advice that has been given. But, on top of mood sync, what does everybody else think of fades being used at the beats in general? As I want to kinda do a constant flow without so many hard-cuts. I wanna hit more beats in this one than I did my last one, but I want to keep the lip sync and mood, but I don't wanna overdo the beat sync.

I'm at a loss when it comes to this, which is why I'm gonna try my best at it.

Also, I was curious if there is anyone who will be willing to beta test it for me as I make it? Tis up to you all in general but, something I decided to throw onto the table.

Anymore advice or help would be greatly appreciated. I am almost ready to start on it.

No not you your friend! He's gonna take out any essence of fun whatsoever, I just know it :/. Helpful?? General AMV is not for help lol.

Anyway I'm just playing around, learn to take a joke or stick to the ACTUAL help sections. Don't blame me for your misunderstanding.

I wasn't mad. I didn't know you meant him. Haha. Just clarify next time is all. I can take a joke, tis not a problem. Anyway, he shouldn't be taking out any fun from it. I'll be sure of that. He said he's just gonna teach me some Aussy effects, or rather, the way he utilizes them. Anyway, this isn't going to be a 1 week AMV, it's rather going to be in the making for about 3 or so months. I'mma try my hardest on it, that's for sure. I wanna try and avoid the fiasco of my last one. If you have any advice for me, let me know. I'll gladly listen.

Im a noob here so im really no one to be giving advice... though im not an editing 'pro' iv seen more amvs then I can count... While beat sync is always good nothing turns my head more the originality, whether that be an original story to the anime or a new style of editing.... so while beat sync may be the norm, if you have it in your power to do something more original, id say take it... lots of videos are timed well but unfortunately not alot of them make you think.

OK this is the real me, before I was just futzing around trying to jab at you a little bit obviously :/ cuz that's the way I am, but I enjoyed your last reply.

And VERY concise reply, Mandi!! Exactly my sentiments and my suggestion to Crono. It's not too complicated, just do it :/. Except for the 'making me turn' part. you don't want to make me turn, but making Mandi turn is a VERY good thing :* you want to turn Burning's head as much as possible ;p.

All right. My whole intention was to go for originality points here, from the get go. I just want to make another AMV that is all around enjoyable, to a series that is just so epic in my opinion. I kind of want it to be a tribute to the 25th Anniversary of Macross, but was just a little confused as to which way to head.
