Help A Newbie Out :(

[KamakuraNeko]

I need help with some of the things on this site and i can't seem to find any forums that explain what i want to know. So please, if you know how to do any of the things i need help with tell me please.

1. I don't know how to get the preview option for my amvs. I read somewhere that the site dose that automatically but it's been two months since i posted my first amv and i still don't have the option to preview it. Does it really take that long?
2. I don't know how to get the local download option or the direct download option. I think i read something that shows you how to do both but it was for if you have a PC and i have a Mac. That's also why i don't know how to use filezilla.
3. I see that some amvs have a picture in the comments section of the video information, how do i get a picture there?

That's all i need help with at the moment, please help if you can.

You have to have a video on local to get it converted for previewing. There's a thread in the Site Help section about how to upload: http://www.animemusicvideos.org/forum/v ... 15&t=93665

Did you try it?

[Panky]

Ileia is right, preview option is for those videos hosted on local, and from what I can see, you have none. Try uploading with the topic suggested.

I tried to follow that but the Mac version of filezilla is just to different.

[Ileia]

Try this one: http://www.elated.com/articles/filezilla-tutorial/

It has screenshots from a Mac version.

For host would i type in kero.animemusicvideo.org?

[Kariudo]

Looks like the only difference in the mac version is that the "settings" dialog puts passive and active mode into their own tabs (that and I can't find a screenshot of where the keep-alives option is.)

everything else looks to be the same (as far as my guide goes.) If poking around until you find those options is something you don't want to do I'd just leave things as they are and try connecting to Kero following the steps in my last screenshot there (and yes, the first step there is typing kero.animemusicvideos.org into the host field)

[KamakuraNeko]

What's the IP address?

[Panky]

AFAIK, it's strange that the host isn't enough, but the IP of kero is 69.26.178.19 if you want to try to login with it.

[Kariudo]

Shouldn't need that. I'm guessing it might be asking for your IP address...in which case click to find out

if that doesn't work, try going to edit->settings->ftp
check to see if there's a "use passive mode" setting
if not, go to edit->Setting->ftp->passive mode and look there too
