rawr i've never really liked the use of FX because a lot of people use fx but in a bad way :/

The truth is, you'll most likely get more appreciation without effects, since it's very common that certain people have problems with certain effects, that another may, or may not appeal to. But theirs nothing really to complain about if their aren't any effects at all, except for the concept of lacking a certain amount of effects. Either way, their going to be people who only like effects, and people who hate effects. Reguardless of anything else. Then theirs the normal people, the people who are less retarded, that is okay with anything, as long as it keeps a mutual balance. Randomized effects is usually a concept of interupting many viewer's opinions. Use effects correctly ...

I agree with what gaarahungry said

To noobs, effects show "skill" in videos because their all like "holy crap! That person just used so many fugly colors and weird shapes that fly everywhere! that mustve taken soooo long its sooo cool!!" I guess they see that more effects = more effort = better amv... Well thts what i used to think
