A link to your video would have been nice

You can also use the "VidID"-button, there you just need to put the number at the end of the video-url in (in your case it would be 145268), then it looks like this:

Anyways I'll check your video out^^

/edit: Ah there was someone faster than me

Well overall the video is pretty nice^^
The black flashes aren't an original way to sync the beats and they are distracting from the video sometimes, but they didn't bother me much actually in this case

So good job^^

i think that the flashing got old quick... you could have made cuts to other scenes on those instead of just flashing... there are lots of scenes in both series you could have used to fill out the time...

also the aspect ratio is off.. you left both sources at 720/480

last exile is supposed to be widescreen and Rahxephon is supposed to be full...
i would have cropped one to fit the other depending on if you wanted a full screen or widescreen video... as it is both sources look streatched...

but its still a pretty good video.. keep up the good work and i hope to see improvement on the next one

Thanks for the comments JaddziaDax, yeah I was considering the aspect ratio bits, but ended up forgetting about it, by the time I remembered again I was outta time. The flashes I know are old and overused, being time crunched I just went with them out of simplicity. My new vids arent going to use them as transitions anymore, unless it is absolutely necessary in a specific spot. But once again, thanks for taking the time to check it out.
