I know about the stray frame near the beginning and that the piano keys are a bit off synch, i did that in a bit of a hurry, i know i need up put tighter music synch in there and will do so, any thing else i should change/add?
Also, kaxi if you want i might be able to whip together some music for the outro, i'v been itching for a excuse to make something.
My suggestions:
-Make whatever you use to sync to the "Woo-woo!" stand out more.
-The overlay around 0:13 looks kinda...I dunno, intrusive? It doesn't really fit, IMO.
-I think maybe you could get away with synching to the drum beats starting at 0:12 more.
-Lip flap (0:15)?
-And yeah, fix up the synching on the piano keys.

Other than that, /me likes.

To Kaxis Beta:
The first half was cool, i would let it like this....
But when the circle "thing" showed up I wasn´t quite sure what you synced there???
I dunno it felt a little off.. maybe you should sync the background scence to the piano...

To Bauzis Beta:
Looks kinda interesting...but I´m not quite sure about the white background....
Okay let´s wait for more....

To guy 07s Beta:
The Blue "lines" are slightly off the sync..
A little more syncing to drum and piano, but you said yourself you have to work on it more...here to, wait for more....

Okay, let's do it! :D

(some quoted from sKy's suggestions)
"Make whatever you use to sync to the "Woo-woo!" stand out more"
So, i totally agree with sKy on this, you should make something to make it more visible (sync-wise too). Maybe make them a little bigger (these are masks from the scene, are they?), i don't know, i'll contact you if anything good hits my mind.

"The overlay around 0:13 looks kinda...I dunno, intrusive? It doesn't really fit, IMO"
Yeah, that overlay does not fit well at all. You should remove it and go on with syncing with cuts, but they seemed a little off sync too, maybe you should sync new scenes to every beat, or new scenes to every second beat while keeping the main scene running synced to the other every second beat (is it understandable? :D)

"Lip flap (0:15)?"
Maybe, you decide, i don't find it that disturbing with CG graphics, but you might considering changing it.

- Stray frame at 0:02 (this is the one you mentioned i guess), and another one at 0:10, please kill these.
- 0:10 i see that you motion-synced the girl stepping down the stairs, but could you also make some white flashes over it? It might look better that way.
- at 0:17, could you crop the video at the transition so that the black bars won't go with the video itself.

But the biggest problem with it that it is not even near 720x460 aspect ratio.
The file itself is 640x480, but that wouldn't be that big of a problem, because my footage is based on 640x480 as well, but i can crop it down to 640x432, which is almost the same as 720x480. But the video (i mean the real video footage) is only 640x360... i don't know how i could make it look like 640x426 without distortions. Check it out if you can render it differently or we must cut out from the sides to fit it in - but zooming that much would definately cause video quality loss. We must solve it somehow, check it out as soon as possible!

I don't know, i wonder how it would look. Maybe, a light blue sky with very few details (clouds etc) may look better, i'll take a look.

to Kaxi is beta, I noticed that when Rossette shake her butt, you missed some beats there, just telling you if you want to synch them XD, also in the circle part, the scenes of the center, could you tell me with what you are synching them O.o?

to Guy07 is beta, blue lines are very off synch IMO, also I think more beat synch would be better. Oh and Kaxi his AR is like that maybe because he compressd it in a .wmv instead of an AVI, maybe? XD

to Greggus is beta, ..... my PC hates MP4 :/, could you make a Xvid beta, pretty please? XD.

to my beta, ..... I started it today, YAHOO!!!! XD, I will try to have my full beta ready for next week (this weekend will be a very busy one with my birthday LOL). Also, Kaxi, put there that my anime is "Tales of Eternia: The Animation", anyone know it? XD

thankies :D

anyway, mmmmmm interesting beta I must say, well first that scene movement you do is offsynch if you ask me, also from 0:17-0:21, I think that if you are not going to synch to the fast beats anymore you could synch the lyrics beat, but that part looks a little empty. Mmmm yeah I think thats what I would change LOL

Wow, thanks for all the feed back, i'm going fix the aspect ratio for the final kaxi don't worry, it's DVD footage so the quality won't be effected much if i zoom in. As for the white flashes, i was going to avoid these in this project to give it a cleaner look, i'll remove the overlay, i agree it sux. I also said i'd tighten the synch later, dont' worry. As for the woo woo, i guess i can zoom the objects which are in their original size and use a radial blue to mask the bad quality due to zoom.
As for a exessive effect, i was thinking like a spotlight effect thing, with 3-5 cookie cut circles with selected effects overlapping and moving around, ideas?
