You can enter again, but do you really think three scenes alone make or break your video? Your call. Just saying that if I made a video that didn't get into a the contest last year, I probably wouldn't send the same video in again this year unless I had no other options.

Question...

This is the situation. Last year I submitted a video (which didn't make finals). About two months later I realized some scenes were of questionable visual quality and replaced them with different anime. In other words, the three FLCL scenes were replaced by Pokemon, Azumanga Daioh, and Gravitation.

Now...even though half the scenes and the song are unchanged but improvements were made which raise the overall quality of the video, would I be eligible to enter it into this year's contest?

I know it sounds lame, but three scenes is a lot when you consider the video is just 45 seconds long. I'm still mulling it over. I might send my Pepto Bismol commercial instead if I can't bring my computer up to condition enough to allow more than two minutes of editing without freezing...

Don't feel bad Rider4Z, I almost did the same thing. The last second though I realized and then uploaded to the Upload folder. XD

I remember sitting there thinking about it for a bit. This FTP or another one, I dunno anymore.

VIDEO DOES NOT EDIT SELF!

Hello, my entry will have mixed NTSC and PAL. Will that cause gray splotches to appear on the video? Also, how much quality is lost from compression? Thank you for organizing the contest.

I just entered a video. This is going to be my first anime convention, as well as my first time entering one of my videos into a contest. Should be fun, I hope the sound is loud and booming.
