OK with fades just literally drag the clip over the other clip until the desired fade level is reached...quick note really long fades most of the time look fugly. About the blank clips, in theory it can be done. Just find a clip, and most likely there will be a black spot within it, usually at the end, cut it out from main video and if necessary slow it down (using the slow down feature).

Hope this helps...
P.S. I put links to great AMV material sites up, stickied in main GFX section...i'm working on a Vegas Tut

Say, anyon ehere wouldn't happen to know a site with Star Ocean 3: Till the End of Time vid clips, would they?? =3 Mainly FMV cutscenes, although others (even in-battle vids!) are fine. :3
Also, are there "more" SFX for WMM2? Not just the basic SFX/transitins that I can DL anywhere? :3

Thank you for this, Eclipse. It helped me remember a lot of the basics. >_>

This post is more because I put in the wrong thread link and posted without really looking.

Stupid questions:
These sites you've given for the video clips,they are legal,right?And we have to credit them at the end of the AMV?

I dont know much about this stuff but ummmmm i dont think using video like that is illegal. Is it? Cuz Id like to know maybe ill get into video stuff :D

I'm gonna take a gamble and BUY some WMM extra SFX and visual stuffs (that actually cost some $$). Which ones are best? Also, where can I find FREE Vegas/Premiere/etc SFX? I can buy any SFX packs that are worth the money though...

I wouldn't buy anything for WMM, it is horrible. If you have nothing else to use it'll do but if you plan on purchasing stuff look elsewhere. Vegas isn't the best either, especially when your a newbie.

I've been trying out some new things and two that I like are
1. Unlead VideoStudio
2.Cyberlink PowerDirector.

Both are easy to use and have more features than WMM and less bugs.

I made an AMV
YouTube - Naruto and Sasuke~In the end

[Sophia Esteed]

I'm ready to learn more advanced effects: Look here - YouTube - Nanoha + Gundam

The ones on the left had modifications to match the one on the right. How can I do such effects? xD

[heartofdreams]

I need help on something.

When i save an amv off window movie maker and upload onto youtube. the audio is out making the timing and everything off. To fix this problem i have to save the music out of tune with the video just to make it in time when it's up on youtube. It's weird before it never did this before.

I just wondered if you've ever come across this before?
