"Quit because other people are doing them better"

Then future Castor drops all of his awards on said person's face. :awesome: :twisted:

This isn't even advice, but this guy was the first to comment on my Black Lagoon video "terrible music is terrible" and he gave me a 1 :rofl:

"That was horrible, how long have you been editing?"

Me "14 years." At which point i could feel their testicles shrinking as they made excuses for saying that

This is a summary of *REALLY HELPFULL AND CONSTRUCTIVE (I'm joking)* criticisms:
"Don't use this anime 'cause it's overused"
"Don't use this song 'cause I don't like it"
"Don't edit this genre 'cause it sucks"
"Don't use twitch 'cause it's twitch (???)"
"Don't use windows movie maker 'cause it's not pro"
"Don't make AMVs 'cause you suck"
"Don't use old anime 'cause they're old anime"
I have only one question!
Me: "can I still use the bathroom?"
:uhoh:

ps: I'm joking :rofl:
pps: do whatever you'd like to and ignore criticisms like these ones, or you would stop editing quickly... so... ENJOY THE FUN.
Spoiler :
Don't attach me, just wanted to joke.
But seriously... ignore these HELPFUL (??) criticisms

Edit more!

Seriously, what kind of advice is that? All that's accomplished is releasing multiple gif videos onto the unsuspecting masses!

"You follow music too much. Make cuts at most every 4 seconds" - rock music, seriously?
"Why are you doing this? You're better at physics. You're too young to edit, it's too difficult, just quit." - my father to a 13-year-old me.

Actually, if you feel like being extra picky and have an eye for it, polygonal lasso and 800%+ zoom are great for some tough details ;>
