Constructive criticism is what I'm looking for here...

DisGrace, obviously you have the hang of this video editing thing. first of all, I didn't care for that audio remix too much, and seriously it has nothing to do with what Steve Dub said.

I noticed this in your Timbaland video too,.. we all are victims of trying to do an edit with only "so much" footage, so there has to be repeats, and footage gets used over and over.

Here's an idea that may get you started in the practice of breaking up the repetitive footage. At 3:27 when you break into the "ooh" breakdown, try using a "horizontal flip" filter on every other repetition. If you really want to get fancy, when you apply the flip, also apply a color reverse or something else on every other frame.

I'm not one for too many effects but I thought I'd offer some advice. You can ignore it if you want.

true.... the audio isn't so hot, just need to avoid too much hip hop at my newest gig and this video is hot right now, it's this or nothing unfortunately

Yes A-Swift! this repetititivenessness is the first thing I noticed even with the Timbaland edit. You can only grab so much footage, rearrange the order, etc... Good call with the flips and fx - I'll see what I can come up with. Thanks!
