The World of Video Editing, Views, Complains, Misunderstanding

I'm almost never on here now, not like I was on much in the first place. I feel unwanted here, to be honest. I don't think I am much of a blogger here, I post a lot of journals on Deviantart, but I can't ever keep track of features and such. Like doing some sort of blog post everyday of the week, I'd be able to do then fall off of. And well, due to things I will not talk about I am shivering with cold, but mostly I'm nervous.

But I am here now. :) I'm here to well what I seem to do on here most, is try to fix issues.

I've been on YouTube for almost two years, watching for longer. And a lot in the world of video editing has changed. And I've seen too many complaints about it.

People complain that the styles of some editors is not quality videos. That MEP's are a waste, effect tests are pointless, all videos should be full song videos. Also, that effects are meaningless. And I have much to say against it.

Someone who complained about it, clearly doesn't listen to music that goes well with lots of effects. I'm not one to use a overload of effects, but have you made a full effect video? It is FUN!!!!

I will admit, video edits can to overboard with effects, as do I. Video Effects can be fun, but can get out of hand. Sometimes it ruins the video, some people think its too much. To "let the video breathe."

One thing I like about effect videos, is when its used with pop, or dubstep music and when it effects are used to match the music. If Dubstep is used in a video, the effects make it look really good. Here's a example. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=koTZpNGcM5g&feature=g-user-u Dubstep song, matched the effects. Dubstep has a very strong beat, and certain rythm. Just seeing clips with that, is rather dull. The effects just meld with it.

Sometimes effects can get overboard and don't match the music, I've made some videos like that, sometimes I'm just literary, throwing in effects. Sometimes I spice up the video a bit with them.

With softer music, zoom in's and out's with some color editing, or sparkles really help with the mood. Here's a example. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tBLmzLM_YAY Yes, its my video, but I thought it fit well as a example if I do say so myself. I used coloring to show more of a mood, matched the beat as much as I could, the lyrics is what I matched the most. I made sure the main video could be seen through sparkles, effects, and so forth. I will admit, it isn't perfect. But my video effects had what? Meaning!!! It showed the meaning of the song more.

So it really depends with effects.

Now, onto MEP's. Them being a waste? And that you do almost nothing? Well, if you are a MEP host, you have to set up the parts, get the download links, get all parts singed off to someone, choosing couples for my newest, allowing in some things or whatnot, waiting for parts to be done in time, rendering video, and so forth. Its hard, yet fun. Different styles into one, some styles don't mix well, but that's rare in MEP's. And that it might destroy my part? No!! Its not just about my part, its teamwork!! It builds friendship, its fun!!

Oh, test videos? You can get good feedback! I've posted some, got good feedback. :) Simple as that.

Full song videos. Sometimes, the entire song doesn't fit. For example, this video. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VfT0Syvs3oc The entire song does not fit Anakin. I've heard the rest, not all of it fits. And the editing of the music fits sooooo well!! Bravo!

And short videos? Those are A, telling everyone you're alive, B, bored, C, its a video effect test and E, the rest of the song doesn't fit.

Also, some people think they only make videos to get popular. Pffft! Lies!!! I don't care about how many subscribers I have, as long as I do what I like to do. My YT friends like it, I like it. We don't care about being  popular.

Don't judge a video by just what you think or see, its rather annoying.

This is all that comes to mind right now, its very late. I stop shaking awhile ago thank goodness. If you have any questions let me know.
