mkay. Every forum has a different sig size, that one's the PA boards (500x80). I can't fix it right now, so I'll just pull it till I get home.
There's a sig here. Really.

Game, set, and match to Beo.
The best effects are the ones you don't notice.

Beo said it best... because there is no set formula for it.

Martha stewart sounds about right...


[ lets go ahead and find this microphone we found in the trash, make a nice arrangement of flowers with it and then use it to make a fandub.... ]

No, there is no set formula for what we do.

:wink:

Hmmm... I have seen that cuts generally look better in an AMV.

But then I guess you would just base it off of the beat.

Slow song: fade
Fast song: cut

But then there are many, many exceptions so just go with what you think looks better. 8)

You've forgotten another tequnique - cuts with flashes, like my "Pure Fan Service" video. Basically, whatever fits the music works. You can also do a piano-keys effect if you're really good (I'm still trying :x ) and other things like that, combine footage.... It doesnt stop with cuts and fades. If its a song that goes from quiet to loud (I was listening to Ana's "We Are" while writing this and it goes quiet-loud-quiet-loud etc) Fades are good for the quiet bits, and for the loud bits, cuts with flashes synched to either cymbals, drums or changes in the guitar chords works as well.

Just mix-n-match till you get a combination that works for you. Like Beowulf said, if it looks good, then its good.
