it's the creator's choice

idea. usually the idea comes while listening to music. other times it comes while watching anime.

I’ve only done a couple of AMVs myself, I will upload a third tonight. I am looking for input, ideas, and inspiration. What can you add?
watch some videos you like and figure out what about them you like. then try to incorporate it into your own videos.

Well I'm just starting out and what I think makes an AMV good is how the anime scenes used fits in with the music. Lip synching is a bonus to those that can pull it off, but the main idea has to be there.

Thats my two cents anyway.

Use DVDs footage, don't use fansubs or other downloaded footage.

Having anime and music in it.

Now that I think about it , the music part is optional if you take trailers into account. The anime is probably also optional considering that original animation is allowed. Hmm, perhaps there is no universal rule at all on what makes a good AMV.
