I started making music some years ago, and stopped with AMVs because of that.
Now that I felt confident in my music production skills I turn back to AMVs for a while to make those few Videos I've always wanted to do.
After I finished them I'll probably just enjoy AMVs as a watcher rather than editing.
So yeah, it has priority now but won't forever.

Compared to other hobbies, AMVs are still at the forefront of my hobby list, as I participate in a lot of contests and help run convention-length AMV rooms every year.
Well, since I was heavily into classic gaming before and during my time with the AMV hobby, it's still something I spend a lot of time on.
I play Magic (and very occasionally Yu-Gi-Oh! and Pokemon), join in Pathfinder and D&D campaigns, collect and play a variety of video games (mostly vintage), and I participate in non-AMV Japanese fandom convention panels and events along with the AMV ones. I really have a lot of hobbies. >_>
I've been doing the PnP RPG thing since college (DnD, WoD stuff, BESM d20, etc). I'm currently running Expedition to Castle Ravenloft for a group of friends while we have a hiatus in my buddy's Werewolf the Appocolypse campaign. I play board games a bunch and I'm trying to get into the new MLP CCG (waiting for players at a game store as I type this). That's about all I have for real hobbies outside of AMVs

For the last 14+ years AMVs have been my biggest hobby. Since the past year and a half or so I've slowed down quite a bit. I sorta just stick around though and do other AMV related things (judge contests, staffing, org redesign...).
The last 6 months or so I've been more interested in the driving/car enthusiast culture... Working on my car is rather fulfilling and another outlet to express myself (also really expensive ;_;).
