Koop, I too just saw your Euphoria video, and must say its GODLIKE. I eventually tracked you down to your homepage here, from AMV.org.
I wanted to find out the best tools you use currently. Is it still Magix Music Maker, or do you think Premiere is the way to go? Also, I dont think Premeire does audio recognition...
I can also volunteer to help you on any project, I know basics of ripping, editing and encoding pretty well, but have never made an AMV. I can also do Flash / Actionscript 3.0, and am pretty good with Photoshop/Illustrator if we wanted to edit down or isolate film footage characters (remove backgrounds). I would like to help you on a project, I can do basic things like find and prep footage, encode, ext ... and leave the harder stuff to you. Anyways, Euphoria is great, I also like this video.
