How do you make videos without sound?

Oy, I explained this already... I finished my vid a month ago, and since then, my fiance formatted my computer. He didn't install everything afterward, including audio codecs.

Bottom line, you're expecting too much of people. So you want your comments to be helpful and constructive? HA. This is the internet. Whether or not the quick comments are anonymous or not, whether or not you can reply or not, even if it IS an op, and not a QC, you're just plain not going to be able to get people to continually give you constructive comments all the time.

I don't mind not getting comments; My fiance liked what I made, and it was for him. Either helpful or constructive would be nice. What am I supposed to do with, "sung sux?" I don't expect something deep and meaningful, just ANYTHING that is useful.

bottom line: if you want useful ask people for useful, youre not going to get it from random people...

and most usually youre going to have to TRADE to get useful....

yea, I thought I'd try one more time lmao...

the only way to get useful from the masses is to have someone more skilled to randomly leave you feedback... its been known to happen, but its not going to happen often... and that means you have to get their attention some how...

with QCs its usually "good" or "bad" and no "heres how to fix it" cause most people dont want to take the time to write that much, they are supposed to be quick...

ALOT unsuspectings are lucky to get the sub removal guide URL from me, and if people recieve that in a QC its usually from me... cause I dont really want to go into details over every sub smattered video I find.... (that would take up my entire life, and I wouldnt get a chance to work on and try to improve my own AMVs)

I think one of the coolest QCs I've heard of someone getting was a URL to a picture, it was something along the lines of "awesome" or something like "you made the monkey smile" I dont really remember what it said but I do remember that it was really cute...

I've gotten QCs from friends telling me how much I suck, and that I should rack up the free star points and feel greatful for that.. o.0 and I've also had alot of people point out the ovbious on a few of my videos... o.0 but I suppose thats bound to happen... especially on videos that are almost a year old and for some reason fangirls STILL flock to it... o.0

but for the most part, I like QCs, and I dont really care if they are "helpful"...

infact I wish that most people would make them as useless as possible, (of course I cant expect this lmao...) cause I prefer OPINIONS to be helpful if anything..

but I still do appreciate the helpful QCs as much as I can, and I understand some people not wanting to fill out a long form just to say "hay look this could be improved, but its my only complaint" only to kill their "usefulness" score... lmao

It would be nice if you had bothered reading my post before quoting it.

BTW, if you peruse the opinion exchange section a little more extensively, you'll find that there are all kinds of free opinion threads running, perfect for someone in your situation. Meaning that, yes, Garylisk quoted your post with good reason.[/quote]

actually, if you could reply you'd get the ppl that pick at you just for a reaction to boot ;p.
