Okay I try.

On YouTube you get tons of praise with increased popularity and why? Because they don't know better or are easly impressed due to low experience with really good videos.

Here, the forum itself is full of experienced editors (in terms of amv), you're probably in the middle layer or a bit layers under it. We have really high standards here and we see good videos every week. You're videos surely don't impress us much. We've already seen enough of those effects and sync and a lot of advanced editors are not into it. Also your choice of source is for us... well overused. We saw it a douzen of times. There is nothing new for us at all.

Your attempts of sync and fx can't be taken serious by a lot of people. It's okay for basic experience, but after some experiements it's time to move on and to use all the knowledge in a usefull way. Yeah well... fx that help the scene to express something. Not because of the coolness factor. However if you're going for the coolness factor you surely can't express with Video Copilot tutorials or presets. You better come up with your own not cheesy stuff or presets that are not already that common and wide spread.

and editing... well a short fade out to sync a beat is more childish than actually usefull. :| I'm the opinion that you need the balls to ignore beats and stuff for the sake of flow and atmosphere.

Middle layer with attempts to get better, but actually hasn't showed something which makes him better or outstanding from the masses in this layer.

This much is true.

As for copyright, a pro knows this:
Notwithstanding the provisions of sections 106 and 106A, the fair use of a copyrighted work, including such use by reproduction in copies or phonorecords or by any other means specified by that section, for purposes such as criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching (including multiple copies for classroom use), scholarship, or research, is not an infringement of copyright. In determining whether the use made of a work in any particular case is a fair use the factors to be considered shall include—
(1) the purpose and character of the use, including whether such use is of a commercial nature or is for nonprofit educational purposes;
(2) the nature of the copyrighted work;
(3) the amount and substantiality of the portion used in relation to the copyrighted work as a whole; and
(4) the effect of the use upon the potential market for or value of the copyrighted work.
The fact that a work is unpublished shall not itself bar a finding of fair use if such finding is made upon consideration of all the above factors.
17 U.S.C. § 107

I think "Pro" status is short for Proficient, not Professional. Anyone else agree? :/
