So, I really want to start getting into making clips, both for AMV Hell/Minis but for other compilation videos as well. What are the best softwares/video/audio sources to use? I'm sure there's quite a few threads like this out there, but I wanted to start my own because I'm lazy, and the community is awesome. Thank you for your time!

If you're looking for a good editing program, use Sony Vegas. Also, since I don't feel like dumping a huge wall of text on you, please just read this (http://www.amvhell.com/showthread.php?3104-Video-Quality-for-Dummies)or this (http://www.animemusicvideos.org/guides/avtech31/). You'll save yourself and everyone else time.
