I was thinking the same thing... it makes you look like you knew what you were doing. Who knows, might be subconcious. :)

haha

qft

:lol:

my brother says this hobby sucks, amvs suck, etc.. mainly because they take no tallent.. you can just throw a bunch of clips together and things magically synch. I rememeber a long time ago someone was asking me how they do it and i opened up my editing program.. threw an amv in the timeline, took out the audio, replaced it with some new music, pressed play and everything seemed to synch and work out.. and i was like.. "well you try to time to the music, but it seems this is already doing it without me trying" and he seemed to think then it looks damn easy to do. I used amv footage because that is the only anime footage i had on my computer.

you may have heard of it.. there is this one video called "One Step Closer to the Ballz" and people thought the guy put effort into it until he revealed in a thread that all he did was paste three clips side by side and added the audio.. thats it. it had ok reviews until he revealed what he did in a thread flaming amvs.. i didn't get the chance to see the thread because it got deleted but I heard it had a lot of good points of why amvs suck. that thread was created by my brother and his friend made the video. :lol: man did people get pissed.. he was also quoted by one person to be "best troll ever!"

wished I saw that thread. :cry: [/ramble]

Well he seems to like some of Tsunami Jones vids.. mainly because they are fu**ing weird.

Well it's something he shows interest towards when I happen to be playing one of his vids while he's at my house.

I mean WTF??

lol that other guy would be suprised to find out. GOOD amvs involve original and unique costum made effects or at least effect that are implamented in original ways.

... buuut sometimes you can fake it ;p. Internal sync is my FAVORITE kind!!

I was looking at one I finished last week and suddenly realized that many of the transitions were on the downbeat of the drummer, specifically when the footpedal hits. I hadn't known what I was doing at the time, but I did it nonetheless.

Anyone else had that happen?
When Arigatomina OPed my Digimon vid, she gave me this huge essay on action synch and told me about 9 things that had perfect synch that I wasn't even trying to do.

Hahaha. So yeah.

That's why the song's waveforms are placed right beneath your clips...

There's another funny thing to do too...cut sound of your AMV and listen another song...it can be sync sometimes ^^
I've done that. I once went through two or three of my older videos with the same song. It's fun. And a little scary.

It didn't happen so far that someone else told me about an unintentional synching. But it happens to me usually during editing. I notice that things are synchecd that I didn't do. Or that they are so close being synched that I make an intentional synching out of it.

This is the sort of thinking that produces Hollywood summer movies.
