1.) There aren't any stats (that I'm aware of) for the exact number of studios. There are hundreds of them, if not into the thousands by now. You can find the complete list by going to "Edit My Profile" and clicking the drop-down menu under "Studio".

2.) Most of the multi-editor studios were formed by groups of friends. Some studios do recruit, but there isn't usually a formal "test", so to speak. They'll usually evaluate your videos and make a decision that way.

3.) Talent is a very subjective thing. You can generally tell if the editor is well-received by their opinion/star scores, although inflation certainly exists in the former.

4.) This is a gray area. You can't confuse talent with skill. I tend to view talent as an innate ability, while skill is a mastery of a certain art. You can most certainly develop skill; just look at most any experienced editor's profile - you'll often see a marked progression with time.

5.) There is no definitive "best" studio (although those tricky RDS and BSP folks will tell you otherwise

). There are many renowned multi-editor studios, such as Random Destination Studios, Blood Sugar Productions, Hypeodermic Studios, More Than Toast, Globocide, Arctic Tribe, etc. To my knowledge, none of them are actively recruiting, though you'd have to ask them yourself.

RDS always is.

Some people seem to think that AMV Studios are similar to like "clans/guilds" in online games... Noooot quite. They're usually just a group of friends who make videos and do so under a common name. That's pretty much it.

Really the only question that you asked that can really have a definite answer is the first question. Everything else is subjective and based on opinion.

5) 12th Illusion Studio (we are recruiting)

If knowledge is power than to be unknown is to be invincible.

There still remains the option of forming a new production group yourself, of course.

Just say you're in RDS...they've got so many members they probably can't remember if you're actually in the studio or not
