My third video but....

[nemesisENFORCER]

Right now im having an editors block. I like the video and the way its set up (especially since Ive been trying to figure out how to make a 30 second guitar solo work for an amv). I dont know if i should end it where it is or add more. The video kind of ends abruptly only because after the solo its just background noise.

I have one idea if i continue the video and that is to start up another guitar solo after cloud opens his eyes. but this solo will be about distruction and Sephiroth. But again i could just lean back the other way and stay with this short video.

I guess im asking you guys for some help/suggestions/comments. Maybe a quick look by my fellow peers and masters would be great if you have the time. The file is small (7.09MG) and short i believe 49 seconds. Please dont turn you back because of those small items.

I know you guys will help Ive asked a lot of stupid questions before and you guys always pull through for me. Thanks again for any help or comments you guys have.

ohh... the post almost forgot. glad i previewed.

Since this seems more like a WIP than a complete video, I'll post here instead of the OPs link.

First: It's sort of hard to figure out how the rest of the video is paced since I don't know the song. If you want to break it up, the guitar solo shown here has three main segments. Each of the three main segments are broken into a simple 4:2 pattern. Additionally, most of the peice is done up with ascending notes (they rise in pitch), which is sort of a musical cheat to raise expectation that something will follow up.

Working with this internal rythymm you can either go with the slower, three main edits, and a fade on the final double ascendant note at the end of each segment, or you can go with a faster pattern, with three major cuts and the two notes at the end of each one to create a bridge that ties the whole thing together.

In all honesty, I can't see it as a complete peice. You could make a trailer, or you could trim it and make a bumper, but it doesn't really work on it's own.

thanks for the info madbunny. the rest of the song just has ambiant sounds like suttle booms and a quite drum beat.
i was trying to work in those fades like you said but all the video clips that i ripped withPsxMC always get messed up when i use a transition or a video affect. i think i might try reripping the files or trying another program. thanks again

Messed up? How the hell are you ripping them?

you could try wrapping it with Avisynth and using the converttoR32 command. or try other colour spaces or just convert it to hufyuv. Thats a weird problem though.

It might be a field order problem, or interlacing. Treat it like one of those, and see if that fixes the problem.

I thought about that, but I don;t think fades would cause a problem there. It would resizing and manipulating the speed of the footage and anything that changes the fps of the clip. Especially since Premiere is designed to edit interlaced footage. (unless this is wmm....) but worth a try.

i exported a frame to show you guys what its doing when its supposed to be do a transition but i dont have a place to host it at the moment.

for now i will try the suggestions given thanks guys[/img]

i found out that the PsxMC program was using indeo or something along that name so i switched it to huffy. the simplest things always get me . thaks for the help guys. and especially SQ. helped me out on another forum.
