No, you didn't just replace the music and run it, but what you did for 80% of the video, I could have done by taking scenes from my own video and taking 15 second chunks and moving swapping their locations in the video. That's just...just...ludicrous.
The idea of making an AMV is taking footage from anime shows/ovas/movies and using your own transitions/effects/fades Not the work of others.
I mean, for goodness sake, the final 25 seconds of "your" video is identical to the end of my video! In the begining you didn't even START to edit footage for 18 seconds! That's 18 seconds that I worked on! Not you.
Then you do a minor crossover effect, and then begin using my footage again.
It's one thing to take anime scenes from a video when you don't have any source footage, but to take an entire video including the fades, effects, and MULTIPLE scenes in the same ORDER and claim that it's a "new" music video is insulting to the original creator.
Unfortunately there are hard feelings, since the majority of the work on that video was unfortunately done by me. In the future. I'd suggest taking your scenes from anime, not AMVs. It's not hard to create the effects on your own, or to even copy someone else's effects - but directly using effects someone else created is just rude.
After all, you wouldn't take report someone else did, change the order of the paragraphs and then call it your own, would you? Even if you added a few new sentences.
