As of August 29, 2019, all of our AMV guides are now hosted on a new site – https://www.amv101.com. l33tmeatwad, the co-founder of PixelBlended, started developing the AMV 101 guides in 2011 and has since created amazing, accompanying software such as AMVpack and AMVtool. For eight years, he has championed making AMV editing easier under the PixelBlended banner, but fast-forwarding to 2019, it is time for him to get more help.

It may or may not be a little known fact that the guides and software have never been a studio-wide endeavor. They have largely been collaborative efforts between l33tmeatwad, a couple of PB members, and editors outside of the studio. They built upon previous community efforts on A-M-V.org and continue to be a community project. However, their association with PixelBlended branding has run its course and now comes with complications.

Whereas once the studio drove traffic to the guides, now that is not the case, and their perceived ownership by PixelBlended creates the misconception that an individual needs to be a studio member in order to contribute to the guides and software. This is not the case and needs to change. Hence, we give you the AMV 101 site!

This new website allows l33tmeatwad to build a dedicated team and a stronger knowledge-base. Currently, the AMV 101 staff is comprised of only himself and TsunderbirdSeth. If you or someone you know is passionate about teaching others to edit, or making editing easier, please contact l33tmeatwad and support him in continuing his eight-year-long legacy!
