EditSteps

  1. 1
    Find a good song that fits the story you are thinking about using in the AMV. Not only this is important in Beyblade AMVs, but any editor whom uses different animes have to go through this step. An AMV is plain without a story, song and good effects in it. Try making Action Beyblade AMVs more often.
  2. 2
    Watch the episodes which can relate, for a couple of times and try to read out the story to get a better understanding, it's also more helpful to get the clips you want to use before, than searching for them while making the AMV. You want to make sure things go neat and smooth.
    • Make sure you mute the audio from the episode while editing
  3. 3
    Try using songs which are more action type, depends on what story you want to show, if it's a sentimental or slow story AMV then go for a slow paced song.
  4. 4
    Now finally comes the time to edit the AMV. After choosing a good song, and decided what the story will be, open any video editor (in this case, Sony Vegas is being used) and gradually work your way through the AMV.
  5. 5
    If you are a person who shows quality editing instead of story, then it must be easier for you to go pick up any random clips from the show and play a song, but make sure the song would fit a random situation, for quality editing, its also recommended to use effects. (Example here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TRW7uHeHbMg )
  6. 6
    In this case, just suppose you are using the song "Shot In The Dark by Within Temptation". You have the story ready, song in your mind and you have seen the AMV before even completing it. You then slowly work the way across the progress. Just don't rush while working on your work, you don't want to ruin your masterpiece with little mistakes.
    • Give minimum time to your AMV so it won't seem drag to you, 2 to 3 hours is enough.
  7. 7
    After finishing the AMV, you want to make sure that you render them in good settings, in Sony Vegas, recommended settings are "HDV 720-30p (1280x720, 29.970 fps)"under the Project Properties settings and keep to "6 Mbps HD 720-30p Video" in the Template when you finally go to render your project.
  8. 8
    After rendering, watch your work for a few times before publishing it online, there are many great websites such as YouTube, Vimeo and AnimeMusicVideo.org too. Take some time out and relax and don't think your work is not great, it's common to make mistakes at the first stages, you only improve after making mistakes.
  9. 9
    Don't be afraid taking your work to next level, post your stuff on the forums of different AMV websites, share it with your friends and by time, you will see increase in your views. It all takes patience.
  10. 10
    (Optional). In this case, after you finish with your "Shot In The Dark" AMV, you want to get it to widescreen, you will then have to first render the video and it's RAW properties, after that open the rendered AMV again in Vegas (The only way you can stretch clip is by rendering the AMV first, then opening the whole, it will be a lot easier) and open the Event Pan/Crop, it will be on the top right of the video when you zoom in and you want to make sure you don't make any mistakes, make sure your Enable Snapping is enabled, don't tick the Size About Center and Lock Aspect Ratio. After that, gradually drag each ends of the aspect ratio inside till the video starts to fill the black gaps.
  11. 11
    Render again in HD and enjoy your finished product. One day, even you might become big and famous, just never quit the race.
    • It's recommended to use the format MP4 H.264, it opens the dynamics of the colors in the AMV. But don't worry too much about it, even WMV will work just fine.
  12. 12
    Upload your video on YouTube or any other website, in this case, you upload your Shot In The Dark AMV on YouTube and it will seem something like the Video below.

  • It's not important to use big software, even Windows Movie Maker would do the work of creating a professional AMV. Always remember, professional content is the story and how well you develop your video, effects are sidekick.
  • Don't worry about converting the episodes, they are in MP4.
  • Try showing more scenes of characters as much as possible, especially if it's a story-based AMV, Beyblade battles seem better when the music gets a bit energetic.
  • Use newer songs or songs which are not really much used before by other Beyblade AMV Makers.
  • You can render the RAW properties of the AMV in 59 or higher FPS, but render the real/stretched AMV in 29 FPS, it will give AMV the movie look because of the frames.
