PSSST. You can put your video id (the last numbers at the end of your video profile's URL) into the video id tags [vidid][/vidid] and it will type out all your video information for you. ;)



Like so!

______

Now onto the video!

* First of all, why the huge file-size? With new compression tools, I don't see how/why something like this would ever be necessary, especially for a 5 minute AMV.

* The watermark in the top right corner was insanely irritating, and allow me to explain why you don't need it. It takes less than five minutes to crop the watermark out, making it useless as amv theft protection. If you have your name in the credits, then that gives you ample credit already. ;)

* You had some text left over from the opening/ending sequences.

* I wasn't fond of the font utilized, and I felt like your grammar could have used some work when you used the subtitles as lines to make impacts. Although I don't think it was even necessary to have the subtitles, because you captured the mood well enough.

* Some of the scenes ran a little long, and didnt' flow as well with the song. But overall, you did well enough.

* The ending was also a little quick, and I wasn't sure why it ended when it did. I think a little more closure or highlighting more than one battle might have made that a little easier, especially for a trailer AMV.

Overall, I got what you were going for, and I think you presented it in an average manner. Next time, tighten up the flow of the music with the anime, and try to work on hitting the technical points I mentioned.

Thank you. I will look forward to your suggestions... but this was the first time i tried to make a full AMV. In the future i will try to make better AMVs. Thanks!

Oh that was a first full AMV? That wasn't all that bad then. What you did is what a lot of first time editors do, and you'll learn with experience. Well, welcome to the org. I hope you stick around! :3

What code said...
Almost as hard as fighting a Holy Paladin.
