RARGH.

So i was happy. because my AMV was complete. i even figured out how to add credits at the end. liek yay, right?

Wrong.

dunno if it's Windows movie maker that sucks, or if my computer needs more memory. First time i tried to save i stupidly used the default size. Comp closed AIM on me, then WMM froze in the middle of saving, then the comp started developing errors right and left because it had apparently interfered with a windows update. (i want a mac pretty bad right now).

So I restart and try again, lower size this time. I even try to be good and don't use anything else, not even AIM or my friggin antivirus. It makes me wait 20 mn and then freezes at 80%.

I try again, lower size. IT FREEZES AT BLOODY 99%!!!!!!! *throws things*

The only size that worked in the end is so ridiculously small and low-quality, I feel like crying. And on top of that I noticed a few badly done scene skips and a clip i forgot to shift when i changed stuff around, so it doesn't match the lyrics anymore. *sobs*

U_U if anyone's interested, here's the ugly thing.

I feel your pain cause I too use WMM to make AMVs. And for the record, I liked the AMV.

Well anyway I like the AMV...

It's small... but good. I hope that you get WMM to work for you so that a larger version of this becomes available.

I don't know anything about WMM but there might be several things that made it hard to save. One is how much free space the computer have left, not having enough memory could be the problem. The other could just be the settings, but since I don't know anything about WMM I can't be the judge of that.

Low quality aside, it's still a really nice amv.

Awww, that absolutely SUCKS. *patpat*
The wonders of PC..-_-

As for music video, exept for the stupid computer evilness I think you did really well.
Nice editing. I especially liked the end.
Your computer *so* needs strangling.-_-; like my old one have.^^;a

*___* ça c'est de l'AMV. Après toute les merdes que j'ai vu, franchement c'est génial. Avec Dire Straits en plus... (moi j'avais pensé à "Milk" de Garbage, parce qu'elle dit "i'm waiting for you" ^^)
Félicitations en tout cas. Pour une débutante en AMV, c'est du sacré bon boulot ! *re-regarde*

yes, come to the mac side of the force, we have working soft ware that doesn't freeze, and it'll let you render at any size. *pets*


but it sucks that you comp was having shit fits when you were trying to render T__T
