Recently I've been trying to cram as many different ways of saying 'your video sucks' as I can in ops. I used to not leave those types of ops but what can I say, I've noticed a re-occuring element to most videos I see.
When I take ops seriously I do a catagory by catagory breakdown. I find everything I have to say is covered under one of the catagories and since I tend to be below average (why the fuck is an 8 average given below the sites average anyway?) I find it helps avoid complaints if I explain each score.

for the good and bad sections I usually general good and bad things (it helps up my usefulness score)
Good - things/choices i really liked, or other random good things
Bad - things that need improvement (usually things like subs/ logos or bad timing... depending on the video though)
and in General I go for the score thing -
Warning that my opinions tend to be long, general crap about the vid, i blah blah too much and on with the opinion:
Originality - # - some comment about the concept, how many times i have seen it, if i have done it, that alot of times originality isnt all that great and doesnt matter, comments about how many FFIX vids there are... DBZ must die... ect... *ahem* lets talk about how weather or not i have heard the song before... linkin park?? die! lol (i like linkin park just too over done duh)
Visual - # - usually based on weather or not i can see it blown up to full screen, if its blocky, blobby, subs and logos will knock down a score for me... often times (though i am sure its probably uhhh i donno... not really welcomed cept by the creator of the vid) i will leave the link to the subs/logo removal guide, and tell them my personal experiences reguarding subs and how annoying it is to hear 15-20 times that the video was good, and that the visual could have been better and subs are bad... and warn them that if they are looking for opinions that the same thing will happen to them, so its best to atleast follow the guide and atleast remove the subs.
Sound - # - usually based on weather or not i can hear the lyrics, if its a hard rock song that sometimes i disreguard this... if i know the song really well and i know its supposed to sound a certain way, or if it sounds like the back up singers are louder than the main singer then i will comment on that... WMM used to add popping sounds into my vids, so i grade based on that as well, crackling, opening and closing of AIM sounds, and the biggest killer bitrating.... that creepy metalic digital streaming sound, will usually comment on that...
Action Sync / Editing - # - this is usually my longest part unless i really cant think of anything or the editing was really seamless if its a "n00b vid" or one that has really long sequences i point them out and tell them that it might look cool at first but i have gotten a negative response on dropping in big chunks... either way i will usually go into detail breaking the video down by seconds if i feel the need
EX: "0:00-0:30 - blah blah blah i liked this but this didnt work"
and go through the entire vid doing this... i usually point out lyric sync, what synced and what didnt (unless its an action vid then i usually throw the lyric sync out the door) and if i know a series really well i will tell them what worked and what didnt... (especially if a lyric sync comes up as disturbing)
lipsync - # - heh.... i usually dont grade this one, because i suck at it... but sometimes i do if its really well, and sometimes i do if it really sucked... i usually explain that my lipsync sucks so i canna give them any tips... just say its hard, and i suck at it lol.
Digital Effects - # - also one that i sometimes dont grade if its just a few overlays or whatever, or black flashes or white flashes since those some people consider effects... if they used an effect i hate (the Rainbow Filter on WMM??) i usually point it out weather or not it was used effectively or if like the rest of the universe they messed up their vid using it, and i will tell them how much i hate it... if transitions were good i will point out that they were good, if they were good but ill timed i will point that out as well.... ect..
Effort - # - most people get a high score here, though i am starting to rethink this strategy.... i used to think "well they got so far as to actually make a vid and that takes effort in my opinion" but it seems with the WMM boom and reading things in Vid descriptions "i always wanted to make a vid and didnt think i could till i realized i had editing software on my computer already... der der der...." so yea... anyways... i usually re-hash where they would have had a higher score due to something like subs, or something else or whatever.... and yea... sometimes i have alot to say here sometimes i dont.
Overall - # - this is usually a round figure of what i think all the other scores avarage out to in my head... and i usually just rehash everything else i already typed about.
Review - # - usually explain my scores, this is usually the one place i score the lowest as most vids i will either never watch again (though i give them 5-6s for that) and some i can see myself watching every now and again, or atleast felt the need to burn to CD (7-8) and then theres the ones I will keep on my computer or will have reason to watch all the time (9-10) and yea... i donno i usually find some bull to chit chat about... here...
i will then usually leave another paragraph about the vid, what i generally thaught of it, and wish them a good day or something...
