r/amv rules, stats, and what to post

This community is for people who make, watch, and share anime music videos. The description says you can find or share good AMVs, get feedback, ask for help with editing, find more websites, and engage in contests. The people posting here are editors showing finished work, viewers looking for videos to enjoy, and beginners asking for help with their editing.

The rule that decides almost everything here is “No spam/unrelated content.”, which says every post must be directly connected to AMV, the AMV community, or the subreddit, and it caps you at two posts per 24 hours and two self-promotional posts per seven days. “No AMVs shorter than 1 minute” keeps short edits off the main page and points them to r/edits instead. “No videos with hard subs/watermarks etc.” means footage with hardcoded subtitles, logos, watermarks, or other distracting text gets your video deleted. “No non-anime/manga videos” limits posts to anime, manga, or directly anime-like animation. “No AMVs from 1 or 2 scenes” sends videos built from only one or two scenes to the feedback megathread on the sidebar. “Use proper title format” requires at least “Editor” - “AMV Title”, with extra info like contest or source added in a specific format.

The safest good post here is a finished AMV that runs longer than one minute, made from clean footage with no hardcoded subtitles, logos, or watermarks. Format your title with the editor name first, then a space, a hyphen, another space, and the AMV title, and add contest or source info in the specific format the full rules describe. If your edit uses only one or two scenes, or it is shorter than a minute, put it in the feedback megathread linked on the sidebar instead of the main page. Asking for help with editing fits the description of this place, so a genuine question about your workflow is welcome. If you want to promote something, like a tutorial or a tool for editors, keep it directly connected to AMV and stay inside the limit of two self-promotional posts per seven days.

Spam and anything not directly connected to AMV gets removed, and the posting limits are two posts per 24 hours and two self-promotional posts per seven days. Videos under one minute are not allowed on the main page. Videos with hardcoded subtitles, logos, watermarks, or otherwise distracting text get deleted. Videos made from anything other than anime, manga, or directly anime-like animation are not accepted. Videos built from only one or two scenes get deleted from the main page. Titles that skip the “Editor” - “AMV Title” format can get your post removed.

What stands out to me is the title format rule, because it tells me the editors here care about craft down to the smallest detail. I also like that short edits are not banned, they are just sent to r/edits, which is a fair way to keep the main page focused. If you make editing tools or tutorials, treat the two self-promotional posts per seven days as a budget and spend them on something editors actually want.
