i know that the windows movie maker can be used for amvs and i think i know how to add clips in it, but where do i get anime footage and how do i edit footage and music? you know, like cutting it into smaller clips?

Using WMM, to upload footage you go to:

file>import into collections...

From there you can either add audio files, video files, or just regular images into your collections. After you do this, just drag on drop. Make sure you're in timeline view though to make things easier. The audio file (whether it be a narration or simply music) goes at the very bottom of there. If you add both video and music files, you might wanna mute the audio attached to the video by right clicking it, selecting the volume, and checking the mute radio button.

Regarding where you get the anime.. DL dude. Note though: WMM only supports windows formated video files (AVI, WMV, etc.). So other formats such as RM or MOV video files won't be importable unless you convert them.

How you edit? When you select a scene you want to edit, if u direct your attention to where you play it at, you will see buttons. Play, stop, back, previous frame, next-frame, forward.. and at the end.. split, and take picture. You use these buttons for editing (particularly the split and frame buttons). Toggle around with these controls and you should get the hang of it. ;)

If you have anymore q's, just continue to ask for help.

okay, me goes to experiment!:redbiggri


what other programs are there besides wmm and do they work any differently than wmm?

[ProtoFunc]

most of the time they somewhat have the same functions (give or take a few details)..

WMM is really basic though, but its good for starters. Other programs might include products from nero, adobe, ulead, etc. I haven't really used any those, so my opinion would be limited. You'd be best off googling it :p.

Good luck with it though! XD

Where would you say is a good place to get some Bleach episodes? I tried here, but its the wrong format, and none of the torrents I find are either...

[ProtoFunc]

honestly i can't tell you any particular site because all my eps are from when they started out.. but, i suggest inquiring in the Anime in this forum..

that, or just get a [desired format] to AVI converter..

[iLeo]

anime-eden.com <3 that site

You can try limewire to find episodes.

Download a whole bleach package off torrentspy.com

However, it will be extremely slow so if you want to wait a week with your computer on......
