As someone who was once very active in the Op exchange, let me break this illusion right now. ^_^;; Many of the people there aren't confident at all, in fact, a lot of them go there because they want help on improving their videos - not to share vids they're sure of. It's a place frequented by new editors, underrated videos (meaning ones that just aren't downloaded and may be good or bad), and videos that are excellent by people who want extra ops to appear on the list. Of those, only half at best are confident in their work. I'd wager a good 3/4 of these people are new or beginning editors looking for any sort of feedback (preferably helpful, but any is often better than nothing).coffee54 wrote:The top 10% is a great place to find good creators. Another is the Opinion Exchange. If they're taking the trouble to promote it there, they're probably pretty confident that they have something good.
If you're curious about this, do a free op exchange. After you get a few hundred videos reviewed you'll realize a lot more than half are just starting out and looking for feedback - only the rare ones are actually pimping their work.
The better place for confident editors is the amv announcement board, you just have to look for the ones promising 'great' videos. They aren't always great, but you can spot the confident editors from the caps and exclamation points - or the cold 'see for yourself' posts. ^.~
Just my opinion though!!! 
The point im really trying to get across is to the people who may be reading this and just starting out or have been at this for awhile and got lil to no recognition, that you and alot of people may not get the credit or popularity they deserve but I dont think that should be the deciding factor in how good your amv really is!
