I don't... personally I'm no fan of them however could you clarify as what you think a "digital effect" would consist of?

I dont concider masking as a digital effect, more an advance transition, but thats me.

Digital effect work is so gauche.

Analog effects are where it's at.

Imo too. Masking is not a Digital Effect. Is an optycal effect. It's complicated to judge what's a digital effect is, but generally what people think about it's SOO different from person to person..

they're overrated. i'l take a simple looking (keyword looking) video anyday.

i consider masking a digital effects. considering most videos with "effects" are using a form of masking, why not consider all masking an effect? masking out the lip flapping of a character is the same concept as moving geometry... just one is more visable and apparent then the other.

Effects can kill a video or add to it. I don't know how it can add to it, but I've seen some AMVs and such made by friends where the stuff they used was pretty good. Stuff like Euphoria, completely killed it. Shounen Bushido, completely killed it.

PLAIN AND SIMPLE EDITING FOR THE WIN!

This has been debated over and over again. Certain people know how to implement effects to add to the video others just use them for the sake of it. It's strange though, all the people who posted up till now and aren't in favor of using effects are actually people who never learned to use them.
