Wow!!!
Thanks everyone for your comments & reviews!! They are very much appreciated! And sorry that it took me so long to respond...I really didn't think there would be so many posts!
First off, I do apologize about not compressing the audio. I seem to have completely missed that part in the A&E technical guide--could someone post a link that would point me to that info? I'll be sure to do that from now on. Sheesh, I was wondering why in the !@#$ my file was so large! Mystery solved.
Also, I think the video quality is not-so-hot because I did have to color correct almost every clip to make the two animes match in color/tone/brightness (Inuyasha was REALLY bright and cartoony compared to Samurai Champloo's neutral/dark night tones) and Premiere really seemed to make it look...blah...when i did that.
I was using Premiere 5.5 and it really gave me a ton of trouble---freezing, crashing, corrupting files left n' right---so this year I'm going to use Premier 6, which I hope is at least a little bit better!
And I promise I will remember to compress the audio, my bad, my bad...
Since I wanted to have this Video in higher Quality, I used avisynth to filter it and made a mp4 encode. I post it here for download and you can decide what your gonna do with it.
Kevmasterflashdeluxe: Oh my lord. That looks......incredible!!
Can I ask how on earth you did that?! I thought I knew what I was doing in Avisynth but...yeah...apparently I have no idea. You have humbled me, sir!
Thank you so much for sharing the mp4 file---I will post that link on my video page right now.
Thanks again everyone!
