Editors who put no credits: Explain yourselves!

[Castor Troy]

Maybe it's a personal preference, laziness, etc, but how come some of you don't put any contact info/credits in your videos?

I know Fluxmeister just puts his NHMK logo at the start of his videos without any contact info, but there's editors like jbone, Tsunami Jones, etc who don't put anything at all. Do you know how many editors claimed that they created Maboroshi's "Hero of the day" Dragonball video? Or Duane Johnson's "Particle Man" because they had no credits? Maybe the technology wasn't available at the time of their creation (hell, Particle Man was made in 1996 with 2-vcrs). In this age of booschack theft and kids thinking they can remove your credits and claim fame to your videos, nobody's safe.

Maybe it's understandable if you don't want a million people trying to contact you from a video, or if you don't use that site/email anymore, but if you made something, wouldn't you want to attach your name to it? I think there's people on booshack already claiming that they made TJ's TF2 video now.

Since the above members don't really post here anymore, what are your speculations on why they never put credits in their videos?

So what's keeping someone from just editing the credits off?

The thing that tends to bug me more sometimes is when the credits include the editor's name, the studio's name, on occasion maybe even the anime used, but not the music. Come on. Sometimes the audio used is obscure, and I often don't have the time to come back to the catalog page and see what's listed there, which makes it an inconvenience.

I've only tended to not put credits on things I'd submitted to MEPs, but that's generally just because I just upload the version I'd submitted and not a fancier version with credits (although I did use credits on the upload for my VG3 track). And because the MEP itself has the credits at the end if the person saw that.

I don't know about others, but I quit caring if I got credit or not. Half the times, I'm actively hoping that outside the org I don't get blame er, credit.

If they wanna claim my crap it's totally their problem.

[Nya-chan Production]

I liek making my credits. That's all.

They probably have no fun making them. So they don't.

I've only recently started adding credits to the video itself. For a long time, I've felt that most viewers just want to get straight to the main feature. I can get behind credits that add something interesting to the video though, which is why I began including extras starting with A Little Retrospect. Sometimes though it's hard to segue into a credits sequence from the main video. I guess my main point is I can see why people would leave extras out of their videos.
