I was wondering before I do this AMV, can you have an AMV but have teh music video of the song in the AMV?

Sure, people have done it before.

huh?

Not exactly the clearest phrasing in the world there.

If you mean can you have a pre-existing video like say one of the manga preview trailers windowed in your video... well aside from stealing other peoples work and a blatantly uncreative method I don't see anything stopping you.

Yeah! Using a pre-existing television show in your video is totally different!

He didn't say a tv show, he said a music video. Implication being to either copy scenes like Sierra Lorna's Elvis VS Anime or to take someones edited footage and insert it in like uh.. maybe the mtv version on a screen as part of the video or something. Then that would be fine. Maybe Tenma-Tenshi should clarify before I make an even bigger ass of myself.

Just to make it clear. Do you mean that, if a certain song has a music video made of it by the artists themselves, is it okay to copy and put it in your video?

Most AMV contest rules seem to have an 80% anime rule. So if you are going to use footage from the music video the artist made, you have to replace at least 80% of it with anime footage.

Also there are rules against 'trolls'. There has to be editing done. You can't take a continious scene, set it to music and then call it an AMV.

These are just general contest rules if you want to enter your project into competition. I think you will find the true answer to your question by reading the rules to the contest you intend to enter. (Assuming you want to enter it.) You can pretty much make whatever you want if you don't intend to enter it into a contest.

What would really b the point of having a music video in you amv, where is the fun in that. But sure, if u want that then go right ahead. I rather do it from scratch and when im done with it, i can say that it was all me and not someone else work, u kno what im saying.

I have part of a Chemical Brothers MV and part of a Beastie Boys MV in my next AMV.
