Question for the AMV / Video editors.
What formats / bit rates / resolutions (and others), do you generally use during the your AMV making process?
I always start by converting the RAW Blue-Ray rip (they come usually in mkv format) into a (almost like RAW) MP4 file usually (1080-59p, the bit-rate always a bit higher than the original file around the 20Mbps) but always (CBR) constant bit-rate), I have to do this if I want to use it in Vegas.
But 99% of the time I disable the anime's soundtrack while converting it.
The music comes directly from an mp4 file that (*YTD Video Downloader) provide's me from YT. (*application to download YouTube Videos'). After I apply the edits on the video I try to directly render it to a mp4 format (1080 59p 20Mbps *HQ CBR), this using the GPU encoding acceleration of my GTX960.
BUT SOMETIMES things go wrong and I get constant crashes during rendering, the crashes happen in a variety of ways, to turn around this 'Vegas specialty to make you go mad',
I start of by disabling all video tracks except the one that is giving me troubles and make a pre-rendered version of the spot(s) that has(have) the constant crash, this in (AVC original resolution, same bit-rate same frames) and later replace the originals with these new renders, this works 90% of the time and saves my behind.
Also sometime I have to completely disable GPU acceleration, in combination with some plug-in's in some specific cases you have no other choice then to disable some of them. Any Ideas? Feedback? Opinions? Let met know

For the AMV editors and or amateur creators!
I have a message for all of you.
____________
Just like you, I also started making AMVs once (almost 10 years ago now),
and just like some of you now, I was embarrassed about them, as they were poorly made and the video quality was terrible.
Here's one of my first ever made AMVs.
https://video.wixstatic.com/video/a27d24_7b2b7cdb575049ba80b5db0cb28a370d/144p/mp4/file.mp4 ⚠ (Not on YouTube)
NEVER GIVE IN, NEVER GIVE UP
And so I continued making them, even when people told me to go 'kill myself', and that I could never be a 'good AMV maker',
I just kept on making them, for the simple fact that I love what I make.
But my resolve started to changed after this.
I completely ignored traditional AMV making 'rules' from that moment on and focused only on what I like, instead of making what people want to see.
You might think that this is a contradiction but believe me it is worth it.
It's a fact that YouTube forces you to make (what viewers want), but If you differentiate yourself from other creators and build up your own niche, well... this changes everything.
Creating your a unique niche gives you the freedom and community you wanted, as the people that watch your videos are conscious that it's not just another AMV channel, but rather unique content that they can't find anywhere else.
OFC, BUILDING UP A UNIQUE NICHE CONTENT CAN TAKE YOU YEARS.
This video gives you a more complete explanation of the 'niche content'.
In my case it was the music that I use that differentiated me as a creator,
as I used and still use music genres that are never or mostly never used by other AMV makers ex (Hardcore, Hardstyle and others sub-genres).
Other advice's I would like to give you are:- Branding your channel.
Having a consistent brand / Logo on all your content
This video will explain you why.
- Try to collaborate more with DJ's.
Why DJ's?, well don't forget that as an AMV editor most of the content you post YOU DON'T OWN IT, the anime studio(s) owns the video and the music studio(s) owns the song(s).
And if you collaborate and or ask for permission from the DJ / music artist, most likely he will let you use one or all of his songs, go for a small music artist, this will increase your chances of him letting you use his songs. (it works in his favor too as you are exposing that artist).
- Create a website for your video content.
Why?, well if you want to wait for the 'youtube partner program' to pay you, you will have to wait for a while (you need 1000 subs, and 4000 watch-time hours in one year) to be able to apply for this program, and even when you do apply for this, the money you get from YouTube is miserable. (YouTube CPM calculator)
But if you create a dedicated website you can also get some money from advertising, one of them is (google AdSense).
- Create a cross platform 'social network'.
This is VERY IMPORTANT
This video will 'in depth' explain what a 'social network' is and how to build it.
In any case I hope this info will help you in the future, and I wish you the best with your AMV creations.

YouTube uses 16:9 aspect ratio players. If you're uploading a non-16:9 file, it will be processed and displayed with either black bars on the left and right (pillar boxes) or black bars at the top and bottom (letter boxes) to make a 16:9 ratio in the player.
Learn how to use resolution and aspect ratios correctly.

i-i dont mean to be the breaker of feelings...but its also not my type of content -- and its precisely due to the music, ngl >.<
but im sure someone in the forums digs those? cannot vouch anyone though
Hardstyle & Hardcore is very niche and almost exclusive to the EU, en even here those that like it are pretty rare

feels like i've heard/seen of the name Ascended Vegeta somewhere though, cant remember where/when, but i feel i've seen him before
Also, I just checked the Internet archive, the sites have nothing to do with each-other, but I'ts the same for me, I just wanted to join a site (away from my community), it might just be a coincidence

nonetheless~!, hey! and welcome to AF-forums!
i love your passion on making AMV's, i looked up your youtube channel, and saw you've been making those vids for 5 years (be it only few uploads, but thats how it is from the start --, even i drew little arts, when i just started)
and yea, you can post your links/advertise in the "my stories" or "status updates"
and, if you stay long enough...(e.g., active and friendly to other users and the such) im pretty sure theres a "super sekret club" somewhere in the forums, dunno whats the passcode/criteria for it though
edit: almost forgot, shanabestgirl
Nice to meet you,
Thank you, I hope you like that kind of content, not many do, because of the music.
I joined just to meet like-minded ppl to to collaborations, and share my art, I already have way to much work on my hands with my own community.

And thus after 4 years I finally decided to take up on his offer.
A bit more about me
My artistic name is CAFT I'm currently 32y old, born in the EU.
Way back in 2008 I started to combine my passion for computers, music and anime in the form of AMV editing and created my first YouTube channel named Anime4TheWorld, this niche studio is currently still the only one dedicated to Hard/Fast EDM music, and centered around the musical genres of (but not always), Hardstyle ☢ and Hardcore
.
After more than 10 years of existence A4TW has grow from a YT channel to a community rooted in multiple platforms and its own site, and just like ANIME FORUMS we what to help smaller art creators promote and improve their content across the globe, and help spread and promote Anime in a positive way.
More about A4TW and me <link redacted>
AMV editing as an art-form has always been a good way for me to express my emotions, and so I pretty much expect to keep on making AMV's till I die. ✝
I hope this intro has told everything you guys wanted to know about me, let me know if you have any questions, and I hope to collaborate with some of you in the future.
Greetings CAFT.
I just read the rules, I'm very sorry about the links that I placed
I don't see a way to edit and or remove this post
