-Good for Nothing-'s video has an error report "bad file name or volume name was encountered!", when trying to run in quicktime, wont run in any of my other players (Divx, VLC Player, windows media player, Magix). Going to try and download mpeg-4 codec see if it does anything, and if not I will check out some other players or see if quicktime needs an update.
actually I haven't had anyone with playback problems so far and vlc should handle it just fine. well, download cccp and media player classic for a a change.
and maybe alter the file name in case it has breaks or an umlaut, but I don't think it has...

Thanks for the help, I altered the filename and tried playing it in VLC-Player and it worked, I had altered the name earlier and it didnt work in windows, but I only need it to work in one player. :]

- Don't use an excess of flash's especially when your not doing any scene transfer, thats kind of the noobs way out, I dont suggest doing it in future videos. The mid-way part with flash's was okay, but later in the video you used them in places that it didnt make sense.

This video had an amazing storyline and it fit the song really well, she (or he) also included english translations to the song which was a big help in understanding the story, I love the fact that he or she did this. Good job.

No, lots of flow and gets the blood-pumping. Amazing digital effects, If your over 18 this is well worth checking out.

- Only problem with it was the storyline is really faint, and I didnt know it until after I read his description, then it makes more sense once you re-watch the video... but the song he had to work with kind of excuses this fact.

Opinion Up, I dont think I was to harsh, I did mark you down fairly and accurately in my opinion, and I understood that your new.

This video is not half bad, but its not much more than half good either, it didnt keep my interest long enough or make an impact on me, and the theme is a bit over-done. Its more of an experimental video from a new editor, if your looking for something ground breaking pass this over, but if you just like to see other editors videos and learn from their mistakes I would say this isnt a bad candidate.

Well, hopefully most of it has a point.

It depends on what you want out of the op, read the general if you want to learn how you can increase your point scores, and read the improvement points if you want tips on what to avoid in your next production... and also read general if you want flattery.

:P thats how I organize my opinions at the moment.

I heard the song is over used :shock: but if you don't mind (need help) This is technically the best I have done so far which is not good enough I think....need critic.
Thanks

This is a pretty good video, it has a nice storyline to it and most of the video has some good editing to it. Unfortunately the video quality is kind of low, and it gets in the way of some of the digital effects used in the video. Also there are some scenes with lip movement and no lip syncing, and sections with lip movement on lyrics without much attempt to lip sync at all... kind of distracting.

I watched this video havent opped it yet, I do like it though, very good video- worth watching.

Im gonna think it over a bit more before I write up an opinion on it, because I need to pin-point whats wrong with it, I can feel somethings off but im not sure yet ;) So this opinion might be up later today or tomorrow.

Usefuleness is up to 343.4 from 341, so thats an improvement :P Very small one, but still an improvement. Especially since I have 852 opinions, kind of hard to change my U number.

Well, almost on the second page of opinions, then I will have 16 more to do :P

Eh, good luck with that. Once you get to the 900 useful range with that many ops given, it'll take two to three ops to raise it a single point. And only one short op for the score to drop. It's totally rigged in favor of one-time spammers. >.<

Semi-recent vid, random action/drama. Kinda flashy. Sort of.
