    This isn't the whole AMV, let me make that clear right now.

    Basically, I'm looking for critiscisms, but mainly things I can edit and revise, or just do to make this AMV better. Please give me any hints and critiscism and enjoy the video.

    Ok tips on editting you got it.

    Well Timing I can't complain you have hit it all perfectly. Just now you have Vegas take it up notch with tranisitions. Don't get me wrong there is nothing wrong with the black fade in and out. I use it often. But maybe try a bit of variety. For the first part keep the fades as it is. You don't want to be inconsistent, but then try using a a different tranisition when the singing starts like for instance an overlay tranisition. But try experimenting with glows. Box effect by cropping or masking it anyway you want in time to the beats or a blur. Also I noticed the shake effect, but make it far more noticable.

    At 0:29 why not try masking at the 2-3 quick beats like for exapme splitting the clip on half on the screen for one beat and for the other beat show a different clip on the other half of the screen. For an example of what one looks like I will show you a screeshot of a video I've done (I recommend leaving a little back gap between each clip) -

    For how to mask here is a tutorial, there are 2 parts - http://youtube.com/watch?v=hNztYcaH_lU

    Just experiment with effects, trial and error, see what fits best. With Vegas you can make your video stand out from most others.

    Could you explain more how it works and what it like slike?

    I'm confused. Do they go at the same time, or join each other?

    You mean Masking right. It's best to show you what it does in a video (since my explainations are crap)

    Go to 0:14

    That is one example of what can be done in masking. All masking is, is an effect that cuts things out of a clip.

    Is this on youtube version or the actual video itself.

    If it's A, then it's because youtube is ****ty Quality

    Or otherwise you need to pick a better quality setting when rendering.

    Wow, good timing, Roxas. Don't agree with song choice but to each to their own, I suppose.

    I agree with Darkandroid. Fade In and Fade Out are the most commonly used transitions but it'd be better if you could use some different ones.

    The lens flare thing on Kairi was...I dunno, iffish. It can be use really well but I don't think her skin can cause a flare or something.

    Oh, crap. I thought I removed that. I was just testing out different effects ont hose two clips and I must have left it in by accident.
