I have always wanted to be a part of the community but I'm a bit lost

[MrTiredEyes]

Quite frankly, I'm a bit lost. I have a lot of videos that I'd like to share! I've always wanted to be involved with other editors like me, and I was just nervous to do it, I guess? So yeah I've got loads of AMVs I'd like to share with like minded people and I'm still familiarizing myself with everything! The forum is honestly a fantastic resource even for seasoned AMV creators
Plus meeting people in itself is quite a challenge, but it's v nice to meet you all when I do!

Welcome to the site!. If you have any questions feel free to check out the FAQs or send me a message
viewforum.php?f=141

And If you want to post your videos in the AMV Announcement and Feedback forum, just make sure to catalog them first

Q: How do I catalog and upload videos to this site?

To catalog a video, go to the “Enter New Video” page located in the “Editors” dropdown menu located on the left side column of the main site. Once you follow the steps listed on the page, and enter all the required information, you will then be able to “request upload permission” by going the the “Upload A Video” page that's also located in the “Editors” dropdown menu. Once you do this, you will have the option to either use the site's web uploader or to upload your video through a FTP client with the information that will be displayed after you request upload permission.

Information specifically on how to use the web uploader can be found here.
Instructions on how to upload videos using a FTP client can be found here.

aw heck I typoed in the title

Thank you! I've started to catalog them, but my videos are all a bit too large to request upload permission. I'm currently trying to get everything set up so I can upload all of my videos I've made over the years! I'm currently working on decompressing them

I do at least have a couple simpler questions. Can I upload non anime MVs to my catalogue? And would Avatar: The Last Airbender and Kingdom Hearts be allowed on the database?

Update, I've figured everything out but gotta do some final steps that may take a while. And I figured out the answers to my previous questions!

If you need to re-encode your videos to a smaller format, AMVTool is good for that. You can see the thread for it here: viewtopic.php?f=11&t=129470

The Org has definitely slowed down since its heyday in the mid-2000s, but a lot of editors, even if they hang out elsewhere or do other things now, still tend to swing back around from time to time. We have a lot of lurkers or visitors that visit just to check in every few months. So people are always around.
