Yeah...I have created a full detailed explanation of how to make an AMV. from getting clips to editing and everything. Here is all you need to know. Okay now here are the steps for making a kingdom hearts (kh) AMV 1. If you are making a kh AMV you will probably download a load of clips. So I would suggest making a folder on your computer called kingdom hearts. Just so you can save all your kh clips there once you download them. 2. Go to kh-vids.net http://www.kh-vids.net/ 3. Click on the link named cutscene archive (If you can't find it here is where it leads) http://www.kh-vids.net/index.php?page=archivev3 4. Here it will show where to get the scenes from each game. So first off we are going to download one of the most used clips. The kh2 opening. So first go to the link saying cutscene archive Make sure the click the one below the picture saying kingdom hearts 2 5. This should bring you here http://www.kh-vids.net/index.php?page=kh2cutv3 And here it shows where to download all of the kingdom hearts 2 clips and since we are downloading the kh2 opening first we will do that. So find the box (It should be the second one) that says (Video | Introduction) and below it is a load of info. Like ((((Description: A scattered dream that's like a far-off memory. A far-off memory that's like a scattered dream. Length: 05:03 Filesize: 18.69 MB View: WATCH NOW... Download: )))) And by the part where it says download should be a little picture. Click that and it should open up a new page. (This one) http://files.filefront.com/01+KH2+Opening+Englishwmv/;5470346;/fileinfo.html 6. On this page it should say 01_KH2_Opening_English.wmv right below that it should say download now. Click that and a little box should open up. It should have 3 options. Cancel, save, or open. You should click save and then another box should open up. And this box has all the folders ect. for your computer. Well remember the folder you name kingdom hearts in the first step? Go there and once you click that folder and get into it you press save (Which should be at the bottom of the box by cancel) 7. So now your video should load. Which will take a few minutes depending on your computer. And once it's done it will say download complete (Or something like that) So then just press okay or cancel so the box dissapears. 8. Okay congratulations you now have your first kh clip. I know exciting right? (Yes this is the whole step.....so go eat a muffin or something...exciting...o.0) 9. Now your almost ready to make an AMV. But without a program to do that you are screwed. So go to your program list or whatever and find a thing called windows movie maker. Since you have a pc it should already be on there. 10. Once you open windows movie maker you can look at it a little just to understand what it is. At the right you see a blank screen. at the bottom is a timeline thing. And at the left is a bar called tasks. Which has a lot of stuff underneath it. (Such as import, edit, and publish to) 11. Since we want to use your kh clip you downloaded you click on import media. Which should be near the top left of the screen. 12. Once you click on that a box should pop up. Look inside of it and find your folder you made called kindom hearts. Open that up and inside should be the kh2 opening you saved into there. Double click on it and let it load into windown movie maker (WMM) 13. Now put your mouse over the folder (Which should be in the blank space in the middle) So hold down the mouse over it and drag it into the timeline. (The thing at the bottom of the wmm screen. It also might say storyboard. If it doesn click on it and change it to timeline) 14. Now wait a moment to let the video load into there (It might take a minute at the most) Now you have finished one of the hardest parts, congrats 15. Now since the kh2 opening is kinda big you should shorten the length of the video. So at the fight of where you put your video should be a plus and minus. Keep clicking the minus untill you can see the whole video clip in the timeline. 16. Okay now this is where editing comes in. To get just the clip you want you need to get rid of the other stuff. So put your mouse over one of the edges of you video clip (Preferabley the begginng part) and hold down on it and move your mouse over to the side so the clip is shorter This gets rid of the parts that you whent past (Sorry if this part is hard to understand) 17. So now you are missing one of the biggest part in making an AMV...the music. So for downloading music there are a few do's and dont's. Such as iTunes. If you bought a song off of iTunes store you can't use it because they have everything copywrited to only work on iTunes and iPod's. As for limewire, I don't have it but I'm pretty sure you can music from there. (I would suggest you don't get lime wire if you don't have it now though) 18. But since i'm lazy i'm going to just tell you this for now. Since you have the kh2 opening you can use the song from that. (Sanctuary by Utada Hikaru) (Since you now how to edit videos to make them shorter ect. lets just delete the video you have in your timeline now) 19. So now what we are going to do is drag the video into the timeline. But unline last time we are going to bring it into the little part where on the side it says audio/music. So instead of seeing the clip it shoud look like little squiggles and stuff in the bar for the vid. 20. Okay so since it is the opening you need to cut down the clip so it starts out at the song. And not the beggingin thing. (It says a scattered dream that like a far off memory ect.) 21. Okay so now just cut down the video to have parts that go along with the song. Since you only have this kh clip I would suggest you go back here http://www.kh-vids.net/index.php?page=archivev3 and download some more. 22.Another thing to now that is to look at the side of the WMM screen. And find effects and transitions. Click on effect for now and you should see a lot of stuff pop up. To use the effect just drag the boxes (With the effect name on it) and drag it to your kh clip and drop it right behind the clip. 23. Now i'm going to let you play around with it and if you have any other questions just just ask here.
Music okay well i did all of that but when i shorten the clip the main theme gets in the way of the song how do i get rid of sancuary so i can just make the vid?
If you're using WMM, there is a button on top of the storyboard/timeline that says Audio Control or something like that. click on it and it should have a picture of a video camera and a picture of a speaker. drag the square thingy in the middle towards the speaker and there you have it!
gahh, someone actually replied??? and yup that's exactly what you do. But for me it sometimes won't work. So you imght have to go to the audio control and fix it a few times before it will only play your music in the audio file and not the audio from the clip
