As long as it takes.

I like that answer!

My latest AMV that I plan on finishing at the end of August was first started in December. I would work on it for about 4 hours a day every 2 weeks, sometimes twice every 2 weeks. There was a random point where I stopped working on it for about 4 months though.

It's been 8 months but only about 50 hours in total. I get very distracted like Arigatomina and start other AMV's that I haven't finished either. Main reason this AMV is taking forever is because Premier is tedious, and that this AMV is supposed to be my first "effects" AMV so I had to make it something really worth watching. I also thought I didn't have enough skill to finish the AMV the way I wanted so I spent alot of time going through guides and other AMV's watching them over and over just to learn the trick of the effect in an AMV. "watched Euphoria and Whisper of the Beast over 100 times each."

For my old Windows Movie Maker AMV's, about 10 hours each, 5 hours a day.

i spend a few hours ripping and preping my footage. anywhere from 10-40 hours actually editing which includes tweaking. then a few hours encoding.

all that happens over the corse of a day or a few months... depends on the project and what else is going on in life.

i've come up with about 1 hour for every 10seconds...thats just me
my 1st took 2 months, 2nd (which was just lip sync practice) took a couple weeks, and 3rd another few months but probably only an hour here or there a couple days out of the week.....the fact that i wanna watch & analyze other, better amvs drags me down cuz i just go back to mine thinkin how can i make this good but still original....as in not stealing someone elses effects/methods....

i have yet to work on a deadline...is it that stressful?....i plan on submitting one to Oni-Con. which means i got 8 days left til submission and only 0:47 sec completed... i should be workin on it now.....

My first 4 vids all started between June 2004 and January 2005, and none of them are finished I anticipate returning to them in September definitely maybe.

But the fifth one... The fifth one is finished an even uploaded, although it's not really a standard AMV as were the first 3 (the 4th is also a bit political to be a straight AMV as well). I think I started that one in April and finished it in early August. Since I have a day job and tendinitus (which is why I didnt begin editing back in 2001 when I first wanted...), I usually would not work more than 2 hrs a night on weeknights, and only 2 or 3 nights during the week. On weekends, I may put in a full day with a couple breaks to ice my arms

The problem is I get artistic mental blocks for some scenes, and inspiriation doesn't come around too often... I'm sure everyone thanks me for not filling the holes with tenuously relevant random footage and calling it done

I've been working on the current one for a almost a year, and its still far from completion...... i should stop making action AMV's.... too much time to make.....

depends on how bored I am... very bored, I tend to act like Osaka and... do nothing, absoluteley nothing, it's an art. If I'm not bored I work. I've been bored for the last 2 months.

For most of my videos, it takes me 4-6 weeks. I always try to get them done quicker, but it always ends up at 4-6 weeks.

60-90 hours is my average depending on the length of the song and the complexity of the video.
