I don't believe in Premiere,
I don't believe in Vegas...

Oh, wait, wrong believe. I believe in Magix anyway.

Cool video, though. Really works for me, since for some bizarre reason I seem to associate this song with circuses anyway.

Hooray! I had said before that you should keep at it and improvement will come - and I'm glad to see it consistently did :)

Good, upbeat - certainly. Glad you decided to go with this series; and to be frank, the upbeat and the very-nice-visual parts of it were the main appeal of it to me - which is why I'm glad this capitalizes on them.
No complaints whatsoever as far as editing, really - being the advocate of old-schoolish simplicity, I can only smile at the fact that this is, indeed, simple and sufficient.

The compression and resizing issues which have been mentioned are probably my only gripe with this one, but I guess you've already figured out where the problems might've been.

And uh... I'll even put it in my favorites if you promise not to bring a gun next time you're in university... :roll: you know, because of this haircut thing :shock: (/hides)

:D Thanks! I'm really happy with the way this one turned out, (aspect ratios aside...what's so wrong with 740x480 *sniff* ...I'll know for next time.) And I'll get over your hair...eventually...when it grows back....*It's kewl, tis a good hair cut ;)*

Actually I dont think there is nothing wrong with the aspect ratio. I checked the properties on the video says its 720*480 you just put the wrong resolution on the vide info page :wink:

720x480 is still incorrect: on a square-pixel device such as a computer monitor, it yields a 3:2 aspect ratio, not 4:3, which is Kaleido Star's native aspect ratio. (As a side note, 720x480 doesn't even yield 4:3 on even NTSC or PAL TVs -- the black bars on the left and right edges of 4:3 DVD material are there to help fix that issue.)

Cropping 8 pixels off left and right and resizing to a resolution with a width:height ratio of 4:3 (i.e. 640x480, 512x384, ...) is a more proper way to treat 4:3 material. You can get even more correct if you want, but that's what the resize calculator is for -- and honestly most people aren't going to notice the small error induced by the aforementioned method.

In any case, I still think this is a cute video :)
