UPDATE: Okay, I tried cropping out the subtitles. I don't know whether or not it helped enhance the viewing pleasure though. ;3 Hope so! I don't think it cut too much out.
I'm too lazy to type out a different description, so here's the one I did for YouTube:
Okay, this is just a PRACTICE video, alrighty? So go easy on me. I'd say this took no more than.. 5 hours. Yeah, not that much effort involved. Hence, PRACTICE. xD
Since "Why Can't I?" is my latest song obsession, I just decided to make a video. Spur of the moment. And I happened to have Full Metal Panic episodes handy.. so.. yeah. You get the point.
I wish I had a better video editing program, really. And I wish I had a way to get rid of those darned subtitles!
Anyway, enjoy the Kaname/Sousuke goodness.
BTW, I DO NOT own Full Metal Panic.
I had no choice but to use Windows Movie Maker, btw. xD I wish I had something better. I also would've loved to use Fumoffu and/or TSR, but the episodes I have are ogm/mkv format and I lack the skills to convert them for use on WMM.. D: So I had to make due with just FMP. No big. I didn't try enough, but I doubt I have the motivation to work really hard on a music video for too long. xD
Are AMVs allowed here? I don't really see any, or I'm just not looking hard enough. I'd like to see some more FMP music videos. Hope I'm not breaking any rules. D:

This is actually pretty good. I liked it. Would have been better if you'd gotten rid of the subtitles or used a raw version though. They were pretty distracting.
Thanks for the compliment! Yeah, I want to get rid of the subtitles, but I have no idea how to do that. Cropping them out could be a choice.. but with what program? D: I'm in a pickle!

I suppose the best way would have been to get your hands on a raw version from the start. How to do it once you've already completed the project is something I couldn't begin to tell you.

I think you're right. Next time I seriously consider making a music video, I'll get the raws. Thanks for the help though.
Pretty nice video. The song matches the SousukexKaname goodness. The editing is very good. And the fading effects at the end add a nice touch to it. Bravo!
To transcode them into sometihing wmm likes (or adobe prem pro likes) i use vdub, google it. It ill lock up your computer for about 10 minutes while its processing an episode but it works nicely.
