No worries, I was careful to uncheck all the install boxes except for the H264 tool. And it proved to be a lot easier to use than I thought--I now have a much sharper-looking version of the video in mp4. I will let everyone know once I get a link for it posted. Thanks for your guys' help.WC Annihilus wrote:True, but if she just uses the ZarxGUI should be fine. Worst comes to worst she can install to use it, then reinstall the old one after. It's a hassle, but gets the job done (maybe we could ask Zarx if there can be a standalone?)x_rex30 wrote:careful with that.WC Annihilus wrote:If you get AMVApp beta 3.0 Zarx made an easy to use mp4 converter. Easy as specifying the input video, input audio, and output file destination, then clicking convert.

Your d2v files will definately break, and some AviSynth functions may break. Also make sure to uninstall any previous version of AmvApp before installing this new one.

Wow...good stuff. The editing is good, and the music is just superb.
watch out for later....color correction on some parts of the MV. color is sometimes too flat to match the dramatic parts. Anime is all about its colorful scenes and chars.
If you used wide screen, it will look much better too.
Premiere is good because its FXs are organic looking, but i will stick with vegas for awhile til I get my new machine for AE.

x_rex30 has saved the day, and the mp4 version is now available via direct link!
If you prefer mp4 over xvid, you should grab it because it looks pretty snazzy.

I disagree about making it widescreen though. If the anime is originally widescreen, that's great, but if it's fullscreen, all you're doing is cropping out half the show and the shots won't be framed properly because that's not the way they were designed to look.

Hmm... that's an interesting point about the colour. I did increase the saturation a bit on my footage. But yeah, I think using colour correction just for certain parts of the video could be a really nice way to enhance it.sagarajack wrote:Wow...good stuff.
