dude you try too hard!

DUDE!!!!!! From one graphic designer to an other, You not only need to be in sync with the video, you need to have good music!!!

Trust me. I know what I am talking about. I am Adobe(R) Certified. Meaning I CAN Edit on just about anything that you can give me. Good music is needed for the mood.
Not only that, but the music gives the people something to "ROCK" with. Most AMVs have a dramatic scenario. (Q.E.D. Love and action are the most popular.) Take the AMV Title: "Auriga" It's background music gives the video piece a "MOVING" Experience like you're actually there. I believe nothing is more beautiful than living the moment. Whom ever edited that marvelous video deserves alot of respect in how he/ or she created that "LIVE" feeling.

I'm working on getting my adobe certifications (dreamweaver, fireworks, flash) this year.

I can't believe I finished reading something that long here on the forums
I was tempted to go c+p somewhere else to read it.

Anyway o: That was awesome111111111

For example, if we hear a door slamming we damn well better be looking at a scene of a door slamming

"If the song mentions a rose, there damn well better be a fucking rose!"

I think I referenced that quote elsewhere in the massive wall of text. I brought it up in order to reject it. Lyric sync does not equal quality, and too often editors pick scenes ONLY for lyric sync which end up killing the mood and flow. The exception is trailers; lyric sync (sound effect sync actually, but same idea) is pretty much required for trailers. Which is where my door quote came from IIRC.

It's really interesting and helpful your topic buddy. Perhaps, Iºll include it to my new proyect and also thanks for the guides, not all amv makers knows them and they think amv is just putting some random scenes and add them music

Translated it? If you understand English well enough that you could translate it, then why would you need to translate it? Actually, nevermind, I probably don't want to know.
