Well, 5 years passed, and a ton of predictions were right on the mark, and a lot of them were quite a ways off. Either way, it's fun to look back on things. But where did all the time go? LOL, it seems like only yesterday...

So let's try applying this to AMVs. What do you think the AMV community will be like 5 years from now?
Here's a few predictions of my own:
- The org will still look roughly the same, and people will start getting really fed up by it, since most other sites will be all web 3.0 and stuff.
- Releasing AMVs in 720p or 1080p will be the standard. Hardly anyone will still use DVD source footage.
- YuuTube will be serving HD footage by default. Fewer people will upload videos on the org, as most opt for YuuTube instead. The ones left here will be the "good" editors ;p
- The YuuTube word filter will be gone.
- The upload size limit will be increased from 100mb.
- A new editing program will become popular, challenging Premiere and Vegas.
- Another video will come along that blows everyone away, and takes top spot on the top 10% for ages. Lots of people will complain about how much the video actually sucks.
- The org will get another takedown notice, but the site and hosting will stay available.
- A retired editor who was popular back in the day will make an impressive comeback.
