It is not meant to turn every AMV into an anthology or medley. I want to stop people from using the original soundtrack from their video source, but I don't want to rule it out completely in case they need a little bit of dialogue for artistic reasons. In the past we have received fan trailers that use a lot of dialogue and/or music to create a fan-made commercial for the anime series or game. I didn't want to outlaw trailers themselves because we have a precedence for giving out awards to other forms of trailers. But the point of an amv is to cut a video source material to an intact music track. When you start cutting video and audio sequences, it's not really an amv anymore. So in short, I don't want to tie people's hands who want to cut audio tracks in general, but I don't want anyone cutting audio and video together.They have to come from separate sources. It's hard for me to explain. I call it horizontal vs vertical editing. AMVs are edited horizontally. You have and audio track and a video track and they are edited to match each other, with the video track normally being the one cut to the audio track. Vertical editing is cutting a video track with an audio stream so that each audio and video segment is intact and match each other, but they are then rearranged to create something else. I want to restrict vertical editing to 5%, because vertically edited videos are not amvs. I worded the rule the way I did, because I don't want any OST music sources either. I thought saying that only 5% could come from the same source would cover all the things I was trying to avoid. Does this make sense? As a result, I have changed the rule to read: ONLY 5% OF AUDIO MAY COME FROM THE SAME VIDEO SOURCE MATERIAL This change should be posted within the next week. Hope this helps. MVC Coordinator
