    Just finished this the other day. I know it's probably not as great as some I've done, but I wanted to make it all action, and the only thing that had enough were the intros/secret endings. Please oh please CnC. Or at least just tell me on a scale of 10 what you think

    That was pretty good imo! I enjoyed it. In terms of CnC, just a few things I'd say:

    - Be careful about timing. Most of the time it was pretty good, but there were a few moments that were just a bit off, I noticed. I liked the transitions you chose -- you didn't use any ridiculous ones (cutout hearts etc.) but you didn't rely too much on flashes, either. Nice job.
    - Don't limit yourself in terms of clips! Action videos are great, but you don't have to feel like you have to use all action-packed clips -- you'll miss opportunities to match some of the lyrics or use lip-sync, or even to hit some important beats.

    You have a really smooth style -- you don't try to cram too many flashes or cuts in -- which is really great because it's insanely difficult to do. I would just work on varying your clips a little more & matching the lyrics more closely, being a bit more careful about timing, and perhaps even hitting a few more of the drumbeats. But overall, a really smooth, enjoyable action video and I liked it. =]

    Thanks. Actually yeah, I did notice that for some reason a few of the transitions were off, and I think I might have added one unnecessarily, but nothing to worry about now. And I do realize that I limit myself, but in my defense, I might be making it as a challenge for myself. It might just be I want to see how much of a video I can fit into the song and see if it can fit. Also, I stuck with mostly the intros and secret endings this time because I really wanted to make an all-out action video this time around, meaning basically nothing but fighting, but I couldn't think of anything in the game that could really relate to that very well except these. There is the fight between Sora and Roxas, but it's not as fast-paced. Although, I did do a little better with clip-variety in the last video I made, if you wanna check it out (please check it, no one's said anything about it)

    Right now I'm just getting used to this program that Anti-Sora showed me. I probably won't be sticking with it too long, since I'll be getting Sony Vegas next month, unless I turn into an idiot and decide to buy a DS that's enough to get rid of the money used for Sony Vegas. I just enjoy having a little more to choose from, even if it's not much of a difference from WLMM. But this one allows better use of the timing transitions, and overall use of specific effects, like Speed

    Also, I do understand what you're saying about hitting the drumbeats, and I was considering it, but I stayed away from it this time because I didn't want to overcrowd it with anything like Flashes or transitions.
