Aaaggghhh! Subtitles!

That's a sure way to ruin any video.

There's a major (and apparently quite common) problem with the editing here- the music doesn't really match up with the clips, apart from a few cool bits here and there. It's like watching whole scenes of the anime set to music, with no dialogue.

When the music changes, so should the video. There's a recurring guitar riff (the do-doo-doo-doo kinda thing) that could serve as an example. You could switch scenes when a new one of those kicks in, then change the pace again for lyrics and stuff.

Well, I only watch the subtitled version :), but I used the subs in a way to try and narate the story of why Sasuke is going to such lengths, re-living the past events in his head if you like before he begins the fight with Naruto :)

^ That's an interesting idea, but I think it's best to steer clear of subtitles in an AMV. They really detract from the video.

subs CAN help u establish a plot, but go DL AMVAPP off the site, then use vdub or w/e to crop the subs out. U can always add subs yourself, even in wmm
