So i usually convert my videos to wmv with HQ and 320x240x32..it has better quality in vegas and for youtube+it makes the file size around 140mb for my bleach episodes cos i only have 74,5G storage.
And in vegas i have my prospects also at 320x240 so when...

tips/tricks.... when u mask use the feather thing, it makes the masks look smoother ( i just learned that a week ago lol, but u probly already knew that)...and chroma key is a good shortcut if u know how to use it PROPERLY. most of the best editors on yt say its for noobs, but thats only cuz the people who use it make it so obvious and look horrible...

chroma + feather = lazy

I never do those =S

I dont even do masks...cos in vegas masking sucks and it takes too much time.

I rarely use the feather in masking, as I only use it when I'm in a rush. When it's feathered, you don't have to mask it perfectly, so it looks more lazy XD.

I usually mask only 1 to 5 layers and thats my llimit X_x...thats when i decide that its not worth it.
I once made an epic amv witch chroma key.I was/am really prod of it but it god deleted cos my pc broke down + when i started to render,it took like 3 hours to do 15 % and it just crashed and broke my audio system in windows or screw up my codecs and i was unable to view videos or listen to music >_>

I have a website for tips/tricks in general AMV making:
