Sure no prob. Looking forward to the contest, so when you get 10 entries is that it or are you just going to set a deadline for entries?

Problem with my AIM is that I'm on a router so that means I'm under a firewall. Sometimes people can connect to me but some others can't. I'll be signing on later tonight.

And after I get 10 entries, I will set a deadline. It will be a fair amount of time for more people to finish videos.

Dannywilson has also suggested Custom effects and transitions for WMM to use. It has also been added to the page as well.

No adding crazy filters in virtualdub like RGB difference or something like that. Deinterlacing, Inverse Telecine, and grain removal is fine.

What about removing subtitles? I'm not entering the contest, I'm just curious about that.

Ok, I know this is bending the rules alot, but what if we used free programs LOWER than WMM.

for example, my two vids were done entirely with three programs: Goldwave for audio conversion, Gimp for 99% of visual effects, virtuaDub for editing. yes, that's what I said. my two videos were doen with virtua dub. all fading was done using btimap sequences generated with gimp. may I include my two?

You guys think WMM is low quality? Try using Videomach, as I did for all my old vids

I don't think wmm is low quality. Not as long as you can suplement it the way you would any other editor.

I forgot to give links to my vids:

Also, I'm not sure how I could prove it - vdub just has the bar at teh bottom. I could easily take screenshots of the gimp files (I have the layers and saved them as variable transparency) any suggestions? cause I doubt they'll be a "Virtualdub & lower" contest

Sorry, it's just WMM only. I don't want to have to deal with a million other free progs and WMM is the the most well known (at least to me) of the free progs.

And removing subs is ok.... but why are you using that footage in the first place?

Unless it's a hard subbed Viz video dvd...

No, an ADV dvd with no English dub option...which I'll probably do an AMV to one of these days....it's just that I'm one of the Premiere-deprived, WMM-saddled crowd...
