Yeah, I know what you mean... to tell you the truth, I´ve put more interest in matching the scenes with the rythm of the music than show a relation between the video and the lyric... I think there is an strange reason to this, though... you see, even if I know english very well (I suppose... otherwise I couldn´t reply this), my native, original language is spanish, and the people who saw this AMV in other forums was mostly "hispanic-speaker" (I don´t know if it´s the right term, sry)... this allows us to concentrate more in the concept of rythm than in the lyrics, so we don´t give it that much importance... but I´ll try to improve in this area anyway... I felt the same as you about the lyric...
About the quality, I knew there would be complaints, and that´s because, since I´m new to this program, I had to stretch the image for it to fit in "full-screen mode" ( I think that it´s because I wrongly selected the size of the screen on which it was going to be played at the beggining of the proyect ), and because the final product obtained was an .AVI file extremely heavy (around 860 Mb

I haven´t understood the reason of this yet...), so I imported this file in the "Windows Movie Maker" to resize it to 33,5 Mb... which reduced a lot the quality... (you know, I used WMM all my life, so it´s a bit confusing all the "technical language" that AP CS3 contains... for a newbie like me

)
Anyway, I appreciate your critic, and I hope it helps me understand some of my mistakes a bit better... I´ll read the guide to see if I can improve the conversion process... thank you!
