AHHH. *flails*
I WANT TO LEARN TO MAKE AMVs. LIKE, NOW.
I tried reading the tutorials on the amv.org page, but OMFG. so much STUFF. *dies* too complicated for my poor brain!! is there anyone who knows anything about making AMVs, or at least could direct me to a simple, easy to understand tutorial for someone who doesn't know shit about it? I want to know which programs to download and where too. Because I don't have a clue.
*flails some more* b-b-b-b-but that song is MADE for OMGANGSTY Team7 love, and i need need need to make something of it. Like, YESTERDAY. T_T heeeeelp...

may i sugest learning how to use adobe after effects of adobe premier. I'm sure you can find cracked versions of them some where. those are the editing programs that i use the most.
premier can be stupid about rendering out, so i sugest after effects, it's vert user friendly

My program of choice is Final Cut, but it's Macintosh-only. I'd work with Adobe Premiere if I was on Windows - there are simpler editing programs, but they're generally not precise enough for AMVs, since AMVs ask for a frame-level ajustment. Premiere is relatively easy to find for dowloading (search for it on p2p networks like emule/edonkey) and easy as hell to crack like all Adobe products (just a serial number).
Also find your source material. That is, anime in raw, or better acquired from a dvd (my program of choice for ripping DVDs : VirtualDubMod ; I generally acquire in DV format because that's what Final Cut prefers to work with, and it's high quality, but it consumes a lot of disk space, 13 Gb/hour of rushes). The most time-onsuming part is nearly always to find the images you want to use in your AMV.
Once you have everything, find a basic editing tutorial (basic like : how to import files / how to choose the bit I want in my timeline / how to move my bit of film in the timeline). Don't try to do complicated things in the beginning. Simply assemble one bit after another, trying to follow the music, and don't play with transitions too much (the only transitions I recommend to use are fades : crossfade, fade to solid color ; and most of the time a straight cut is just enough).
Editing anything is a lot of trial and error : edit a few seconds, watch, change by a few frames, re-watch, delete because it doesn't work and choose other rushes instead, watch again and then go back to your first choice because it looks even worse... it can be very frustrating.
Just one thing : don't try lipsync, it's even longer.

Kidding.
These mist covered mountains
Are a home now for me
But my home is the lowlands
And always will be
Some day you’ll return to
Your valleys and your farms
And you’ll no longer burn
To be brothers in arms
Through these fields of destruction
Baptisms of fire
I’ve watched all your suffering
As the battles raged higher
And though they did hurt me so bad
In the fear and alarm
You did not desert me
My brothers in arms
There’s so many different worlds
So many differents suns
And we have just one world
But we live in different ones
Now the sun’s gone to hell
And the moon’s riding high
Let me bid you farewell
Every man has to die
But it’s written in the starlight
And every line on your palm
We’re fools to make war
On our brothers in arms
The beginning could be the image of sasuke alone in the new intro song, and then random team seven stuff.
And though they did hurt me so bad
In the fear and alarm
You did not desert me
= Sakura and Naruto protecting him from Gaara.
And we have just one world
But we live in different ones
= The hospital room, where sakura and naruto are chatting away and he's wangsting.
And I can see sasuke leaving at the end ;_; i need the end of the sasunaru fight to complete it though. I hope it doesn't take a hundred eps or so. ;_;
