If you are talking about the text animation, I’m pretty sure they are custom made, but I linked a helpful tutorial for getting into text animation that I found helpful when I first started :)

You can also find some pretty cool tutorials if you just type something along the lines of “text animation tutorial” on YouTube, good luck :)

Awesome! If you want to dive into video editing, the first thing to consider is which software you’re going to use. Here are a few popular options:

• Sony Vegas (though I’m not sure if people still use it; you might find a cracked version online to get started),
• Adobe After Effects (great for adding visual effects),
• DaVinci Resolve (new and they have a free version),
• CapCut (especially useful if you’re editing on mobile; check if it's still widely used).

Once you've chosen your software, it’s time to get the anime footage you want to edit or the music to accompany it. Most anime websites offer downloadable content, so aim for the highest quality available.

Next, you’ll need some music to sync with your edit. You can find tracks on YouTube, or try AI tools that generate sounds based on your ideas, like Suno AI. To download music or videos from YouTube, I recommend using cobalt.tools — it’s straightforward; just copy and paste the link.

Now that you have the anime footage, music, and the editing program, it's time to start experimenting! Get a feel for the software; there’s no pressure to make it perfect since you’re just beginning.

Look for tutorials on YouTube for guidance:

• How to cut in [Your Editing Program]
• How to sync audio in [Your Editing Program]
• How to color correct in [Your Editing Program]
• How to add scripts/presets in [Your Editing Program]

There are a ton of editing styles out there! One popular trend is short edits (around 10-25 seconds) featuring glowing, flashy effects with 3D text, often set to hard bass music (check out this example: ) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wQ3L7eoIDj4

Personally, I prefer the classic AMVs, like Linkin Park Naruto edits, or more modern styles that sync with the music (like this example:) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cf4AUbSbdRQ

Remember, there’s no right or wrong way to edit. Some people love one style while others prefer another—what matters is that you enjoy the process. Editing can be a lot of fun, and there’s so much creativity to explore. Good luck!

Many answers you have are answered in the FAQ of this subreddit.

For the other thing, monetization will not be possible and it can end that you need to take the videos down because some anime studios will not tolerate it.

For software well what fits you best. If you search for a strong but also free one, I can recommend Davinci Resolve. It is a professional software, the difference to the studio version is mostly not relevant for making AMV's. You will find other people who use Adobe suite (Premiere and/or After Effects), Magix Vegas, Pinnacle Studio and others.

For the beginning I recommend to play around and see how you get along with everything. Then you can go deeper into the rabbit hole and work on simple techniques and analysis of your videos and then other's.

If you intent to monetize your AMV you should know that a lot of studio will come after you depending on the anime you choose.

A lot of people use Adobe Video Software

2.Use DaVinci resolve if you have high end pc it's really good and FL and audacity for sound editing 1.And for clips don't use a copyright clip of duration more than 8 secs  3.Just be passionate about it and stay focused and consistent

This is super subjective, but I think timing and scene selection are way more important than fancy/elaborate transitions. That being said, they can enhance the experience and increase the versatility of certain scenes immensely. All in all, just keep doing what you like. It's not like AMVs are a career hobby.

For anyone stumbling across this post, the AMV seems to be a) inverting the image b) adding noise/lowering bit rate/ more color banding c) adding a reddish gradient map.

As for the second edit, that shit is still black magic to me.

The thing is what you want to make. If you are new be sure to get the basics like synchro and the right speed. Then concept development is a part. I would say get some inspiration by watching AMV's from contests, winners. Search for contests of conventions or online competitions, like AWA, JapanExpo, Big Contest, TOS, NekoCon, some ICs like Soul's Team.

If you can do effects well and you can do characters well, you can tailor your reels to what jobs you want.

Additionally, if you’re freelance being able to do all your own stuff means being able to make all your own films, and those can be useful to get work.

Welcome to /r/animationcareer! This is a forum where we discuss navigating a career in the animation industry.

Before you post, please check our RULES. There is also a handy dandy FAQ that answers most basic questions, and a WIKI which includes info on how to price animation, pitching, job postings, software advice, and much more!

A quick Q&A:

• Do I need a degree? Generally no, but it might become relevant if you need a visa to work abroad.
• Am I too old? Definitely not. It might be more complex to find the time, but there's no age where you stop being able to learn how to do creative stuff.
• How do I learn animation? Pen and paper is a great start, but here's a whole page with links and tips for you.

The more you can do the more employable you’ll be, look at it that way

Take this as a grain of salt since I’m a professional 3d animator, not 2D. The most important thing first is the character/creature animation, and as much time must be spent to polish all the principles, body mechanics, etc. if you have polished everything to a mirror shine and you and your mentors can’t find anything more to sharpen then you should go ahead and add some effects, music, etc. there’s tons of times I’ll see animators add impact frames and then have super weak timing. If you think of it as food in a restaurant your first goal is to make the food as good as possible, then you can dress it up presentation wise. If you come at someone with a sizzling plate of food and the food is bland it won’t be remembered well.

I just watched Sssniperwolves, and that visual style is too overwhelming for me. But maybe I'm just old.

The WSL forum is the best place (I know of) to learn how to script in Davinci. There are also some good tutorials on Youtube, if you just search 'Davinci Resolve Scripting'. Good luck!

1. Go to YouTube
2. Type in: "Davinci fusion how to create a macro"

You rather want to build script, not plugin (important thing to google things right). Check this YT channel, it's a great and easy start https://www.youtube.com/@asherroland/videos

Can change the self modulate to a black colour when its a shadow attack.

Or make a 2nd sprite and make it black.

I answered this on discord but i do it again because maybe someone else find it helpful.

What i see is Edge detection and some Glow, if you want it only on specific regions you should mask also the parts out so only on the inside the effect is used.

Tutorial for Premiere

Tutorial for After -Effects

Tutorial for Davinci Resolve

Its also possible for other programs, just check for effects that are similar to edge detection and glow effects.
