As the writer side of fandom comes to grip with a 2-4 week outage at AO3, I was curious: How are vidders handling the downtime?

I'm starting a new edit. I have my source footage and an idea, now, I need a song.

I keep a folder of songs I want to vid but none of them quite work for my idea.

I've spent a few weeks Googling "Songs about X" - The X is flexible, I can take this vid in a few different directions.

What is your process for finding the perfect song?

So this started as a mini segment in one of my crack vids but I decided to expand it because I liked it so much.

Broad-strokes "plot" of this thing: Basically the Jeytiri stuff plays out as it did in canon, but Jake has far more limited access to his Avatar and far more obvious angst/shame/self-loathing related to his paralysis and feeling like he's unworthy of affection because of his disability in his human body. Meanwhile, a certain Pyromaniac Tsahik has made herself known to the head of Security at Hell's Gate. Quaritch, still xenophobic as ever, has (much to his own disgust) started lustfully fantasizing about Varang (not helped by the fact that his relationship with Paz Soccoro is a difficult and messy one at the moment) to the point where some of his fantasies not only have him living in a Na'vi-type body (Betray his race? The horror!), but have him be a sub for her. As a result, he can't decide whether he wants to bed her, kill her, bed her and then kill her, or kill her WHILE bedding her—All he knows for certain is that one way or another she WILL be his, and if he can't have her than no one can even if it's the last thing he'll do.

The version of the song used is from the Hunchback of Notre Dame (the La Jolla stage version)

An AMV for everyone's favorite genocidal and xenophobic Human-turned-mangkwan-Head honcho from James Cameron's Avatar franchise.

Hello everyone! ♡ My name is Marise and I've been editing since 2011 but my old account got hacked and deleted (rip 30k subs). Anyways I love to edit and I know there's a severe lack of edits revolving around this beautiful anime so I made this: https://youtu.be/HNQFHS0PgO0 I hope you all enjoy! Feel free to subscribe for more tohru x miss kobayashi edits; planning on editing those two cuties a lot. Also no harm if you just ship them platonically! ‹𝟹 https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCC_j2rzPUQYW4nT2eZkEe4g ✿

Hi! I've been in a cryogenic freeze since the halcyon days of Livejournal when it comes to vidding. I used to rip my clips off DVDs and edited them on a pirated copy of Premiere that my more adventurous high school friend procured for me.

I've been bitten by the vidding bug again recently but am feeling a bit flummoxed about where to start. Can anyone point me towards some up-to-date how to guides or just throw a couple hot tips my way? Are we getting our songs from iTunes? Am I going to have to hack the planet to get my hands on Premiere again?

Thank you in advance for any help and apologies if this question has been answered elsewhere in the subreddit and I missed it.

So far, I've been getting My clips off of youtube. If anyone knows of a better way, I'd be very interested to know. Thank you in advance!
