) rather than comic cartoons (eg. spongebob squarepants
).
Before i put in my 2 cents worth, id like 2 ask 4 some help. in attempting 2 use clips off dvd's and windows movie maker ive encountered errors. could some1 plz give me the names of programs that would assist me in the following:
1. a movie maker that uses '.vob' files
2. something that converts '.vob' files to '.mpeg', '.wav', etc.
3. something that rips dvds and creates the above files
4. a movie maker that is as easy to use as movie maker, yet also allows more effects (eg. background video)
could u plz only post these programs if they r free and work on windows XP.
TIMING!. i have seen approx 50 amvs be4 i even began 2 create them, and only a couple of these have what i call, proper timing. now im not talking about that lyric sync crap (while sometimes cool, not 2 b used 2 often), but genuine timing. i want 2 see explosions, drama, action when a song hits a high point, NOT in the middle of a slow verse. all i have been seeing up 2 now r amv's that have huge (and i mean HUGE!) slabs of clips which may (by some fluke chance) hit a high in the chorus, but never continue timing past that point. a prime example would be a DBZ amv i downloaded a while ago which was set to 'linkin park - faint'. not only was the amv obviously created from more famous dbz amv's, but it had not timing and a huge explosion was used in the middle of a drum section.
it has become slightly sadening.
However, i am yet 2 see any other members amv's (as a newbie its kinda hard 2 figure out everything early on) but i have slightly higher expectations than i have 4 most providers. DONT LET ME DOWN!
Personally, i have created 2 amv's 2 date. a DBZ set 2 'LINKIN PARK - LYING FROM YOU' and a final fantasy set 2 'EVANESCENCE - BRING ME @ LIFE'. i am yet 2 post these anywhere, yet i am eager (once i find some time) 2 do so. these clips were created 4 the purpose of "TIMING", explosions where they should be and emotion where it should also be. there is no lyric sync (if there is i must punish myself) and has no deeper meaning (that might be my next one, if i had more anime clips 2 use) but it has good timing and thats all i care about after seeing certain rubbish amv's. the DBZ amv is my favourite and i will let u no if i eva post it.
PS> i'd also appreciate if any1 could post websites that have anime clips i could use 4 future clips, thanx(in advance...i hope...)
