There's really a lot of work involved in getting it done. I would say I'm about 2/3 finished now.
- First of all you have to consider there are about 50 videos being used in the compilation
- for each video, an avisynth script must be made to get all of the videos into the same format, make sure the aspect ratios are correct, etc
- some people somehow managed to seriously fuck up their audio, so i have to try and replace the audio on some of them
- each video has to be placed on the timeline, have the transitions lined up properly with it, and trim any excess crap from the beginning or end
- you have to make the opening sequence
- you have to do the closing/credits sequence, which probably takes up the most amount of time. This involves not only writing up the credits and putting them in the video, but checking up on the sources that people used, trying to find out the sources when people did not list them and you can not get in touch with them, and trying to generally make sure everything is free of spelling errors and typos
- the whole thing (probably about 30 minutes or so in length) has to be checked over multiple times to make sure no weird stuff happens. And weird stuff does happen.
