Hi!

Just registered on this site.. Here's my first AMV (not the first music video I've edited though)

Enjoy!

My first suggestion would be to upload this video directly to the site, since site members are traditionally lazy and don't like going through more steps than they have to in order to watch videos. ^_~

My second suggestion would have been to clean up the video quality with Avisynth. Those black bars should have been cropped off - it saves on filesize and makes your video easier to compress. A nice deen filter might have helped, too. More on that in the AV Tech guide.

Even though this video had a very good sense of beat sync, the real trouble is that you're using a seven minute song with a two hour movie. It gets to be a LOT of the same scenes that everyone has already seen in a million and one videos before. It's just not the kind of thing that keeps your interest. Overall, this is a decent video, but it's lacking originality. I got it because I like Tool, and it's worth getting if you're a fan.

Keep on editing. You're off to a good start.

Thank you for your comment and thank you for the tech guide! I really needed it because I always have troubles with the quality and other technical issues.

I'll try to keep that in mind while I'm editing. Actually, I should really plan the video beforehand. I never really think of it before editing and the result might be really random or unoriginal (like you said)

And yeah, I'll keep on editing. Thanks!

The video is nice, the music and the video fit together quiet nice, BUT it is much too long and I'm sorry to say that I got a bit bored towards the end.
And well it isn't very original, it is just like most of the other FFVII AC AMVs

But it's a nice video though^^

Yeah.. Originality = My weak spot.. Aw, don't worry. I got bored too while I was watching it

But I'm glad you made the effort (you actually downloaded it and left a comment) so thank you!
