Okay, this is my very first fanvid. Any concrit or advice you could offer would be greatly appreciated, as I'd like to get better, obviously. :)

Special Thanks: to
ank_the_tank and
eckerlilas for being my beta-testers and for holding my hand through this entire thing. Without their helpful suggestions...well, I don't want to even think about how it would've turned out. :)
Download it: here. (I'll be x-posting the vid to
theoc_slash, sorry if you see it twice.)
EDIT: I've been informed that the megaupload link isn't working, so I reuploaded to YSI.
Here. I'll re-upload upon request.
Okay, now. I have two questions that I would be forever thankful to you for answering if you could. I am using Windows Movie Maker to make vids, and for some reason, it won't let me edit clips any shorter than 4 seconds long. If I try to make them shorter, it simply refuses to. Is there some special way to go about doing this? Secondly, I've seen vids where the actual footage is silent while the song plays, and then in one or two spots, the vidder has allowed the voices of the characters in the vid to come through over top of the song. I tried to do this, and even used the help menus in an attempt to figure it out, but any time I changed the audio balance thing for one clip, it changed it for the entire vid. Is there a way to do this that I'm missing, or do you have to use a program other than WMM? Thanks for any help you can offer. :)
Edit: This vid now has a permanent download think
here. It is also now only 13.6 MB.
