Hi, you made an AMV using Aquarion Evol, "The Yin, The Yang, and the Girl", right? What is the name of the song you used on it?

“The Walk” by Imogen Heap

My name is Ileia as well!! I found you on youtube!!!

We’re multiplying!

I really want to get into video editing. How did you start editing? What programs would you recommend?

I had a friend in high school who made AMVs. I was smitten….and I got a computer for the express purpose of making them. I started out on the same program as her, Windows Movie Maker. I realized the limitations of the program and asked another editor what he used (Magix Movie Edit Pro) and I taught myself from there. Magix is simple but effective. If you want to do effects work, I wouldn’t recommend it. If you just want to work on simpler, “raw” videos, it’s perfect, though. I’ve been getting enough requests for it that I may post a short lil how-to tutorial on Magix, but I’ve been extraordinarily busy lately so we’ll see. D:

“Hey Ileia! What do you do with your time when you’re not at work, school, or editing?”

Okay, just wanted to say you are an absolute genius editor. I can only dream of perfecting my editing to reach your level. May I just ask when you started and how long it took you to become such a pro? Personally I started about two years ago and I was just curious about how you developed over time.

Well, I dunno about genius or pro, haha, but I have been editing for 9 years. It’s been a process, lots of discouragement and failures along the way. Even now I don’t always make the best videos, but I enjoy the process nonetheless. I try new ideas and I fall back on old standby’s. Improvement just came with time and practice.

I love your amvs, you've been a big inspiration ^^ recently I just discovered your "Now or Never" amv and I think it's in my top 5 favorites from you xD. Just wondering, will you be editing another amv to that anime? ^^

Hmmm….possibly! I’ve had a Sheryl-centric idea rolling around in my head for a couple weeks, so it’s a definite possibility. I just uh…have next to no free time these days. ._.
