Best Intro/Outro one.

I dunno about this one. I mean many videos share an intro/outro.

I would like to suggest Best Addicting Video (video which is most reviewable/rewatchable)

I discussed this one with Cecco. It would have to encompass all videos made for IC-style competitions. Iron Chef used to be a standard 2 hour video, however with contests like Project Editor many people consider week long contest videos to also be Iron Chef-style videos.
So for one, that would lead to a very unbalanced pool of videos to judge from with videos made in a week obviously having a leg up over those made in 2 hours. One solution would be to cut out those made in two hours, but then you'd be discriminating against the original Iron Chef-style of videos.

Another issue would be videos that were originally made for an Iron Chef-style contest and then perfected before a full release. These would be videos such as Ivy Bridge or The Nightmagi Cometh. These videos were originally made for Project Editor but then the editors withheld both projects to continue editing them for a full release. Would they be eligible for this category or not? How would tell the difference between a video that has not been edited after the original contest release and one that has?

For anyone suggesting a new category I highly suggest backing up your suggestion with reasoning and how it would be judged. It's easy to throw a category out but if the interpretation is left to someone else then it could turn into the exact opposite of what you originally intended. Go look at Fall_Child42's suggestion here: http://www.animemusicvideos.org/forum/v ... 4#p1473144 That is how you do it properly ;D

That being said, I still stand by my suggestion of just dropping the custom category all together and keeping the original categories we've worked with for years. IMO, if it's this difficult to pick a category it means that we've already got enough as it is.

Something I've always wanted to see awarded was for "Best Audio Editing in an AMV".

I've seen editors slave over making an audio cut or audio effect, and can be just as much work as editing the actual video together. This includes MEPs AND regular AMVs/MMVs/FAMVs.

Naturally, AMVs without song cuts or audio effects would be banned, but this is an easy thing to see and weed out, since original songs can be found easily via YouTube. If they're untouched, it's an easy thing to find/ban.

While the videos applicable to this category would be light, they're people that deserve recognition in this regard.
