Hey I love ur amvs!! I was wondering if you had advice for someone that's interested in making their own? I'm not sure what the best programs are for editing or getting clips. Ty! :)

this is so flattering thank you so much!!!!! I LOVE making amvs…… favourite thing in the world to do so this is gonna be probably longer than you wanted…..

I’ve bounced around just about everything in the last couple years so I can give you a few different ideas!!

For clip sourcing:

initially, I used episodes that I had downloaded as supernatural was airing so the quality was iffy and there were logos on a lot of them… THEN I went the screen recording route (for when I was on my phone, I’ve never tried this on desktop but I know this works well for others!!) but I found that the quality still bugged me AND I ended up with nearly 2000 supernatural clips on my phone…… which was a nightmare to sort through… NOW I use this which is very fabulous and easy to use… you can select which eps to download if you don’t need all of them!! (and no vpn needed)

For editing:

I’ve used a lot of different programmes til I found one that worked well for me so definitely shop around…. youtube tutorials are your friend…. when I started, I was using sony vegas pro…. which worked fine even though my laptop was the first one ever made… but I didn’t want to pay for it and it got blocked on my laptop forever and windows would notttt let me get it back…….. SO, as I mentioned, for a while I was editing on my phone which I would personally nottt recommend for full length amvs… smaller edits would be completely fine!! I used splice which was very basic but it got the job done!! actually. looking through my videos- everything from mr perfectly fine to dean movies was made on my phone which is about 30 videos- so this works!! it’s just much more difficult and harder to polish up…. I personally make amvs much quicker and cleaner on my laptop.. and noticed a big big difference in my own quality since I switched….. NOW I use capcut since it’s free and my laptop can run it without any issues. I’m genuinely very impressed with it as a free software- lots of really good tools and effects, I find it so easy to alter colours and subtitle as well!! which I struggled with on other platforms!! very user friendly too!!! would be very beginner friendly!!

fun stuff :)

PLANNING is my absolute favourite part of making an amv…… normally I hear a song and can very easily picture shot by shot how I would amv it - once I’ve got the song and general theme I’m going for- I normally print out the lyrics and annotate them - jotting down timings, voiceovers, season, arcs and clips.. I can sometimes skip this if it’s just a simple video but if it’s anything complicated I HAVE to write it down. I also find it’s easier to make a video have a ‘point’ if I do this??? idk.. I think it helps but idk if this is something everybody does :)

there’s the spn transcript searcher which is very useful as well if there’s a line you’re looking for but can’t remember where it’s from!!

and of course homeofthenutty which is great for thumbnail stuff!!

editing things:

honestly… I don’t think there’s a wrong way to do this if you’ve got a really fabulous idea….. timings are the trickiest thing to get the hang of- I do dashes on my printed plan to kind of show where I need cuts and if it’s fast cuts I write down how long each clip should be so it looks cleaner. I find that my videos don’t really look finished until they’re subtitled either- so that always helps!! everybody kind of does that differently so definitely play around until you find a style you like!!

I wouldn’t worry too much about colouring when you’re just starting out- sometimes I find that filters can be distracting but I know others who swear by them so that’s just personal preference!! I really just tweak certain clips to make them less saturated or green-looking….

for posting:

I really recommend posting simultaneously on tumblr and youtube!! I have videos with basically no notes on tumblr but did really well on yt and vice versa!! the yt algorithm can be funny- I find that as long as it has a custom thumbnail and a few comments it does alright!! on tumblr- I always link the yt video since the tumblr player doesn’t always work for everybody…. also don’t be afraid to use taglists!!! I’m sure your mutuals would love to be tagged and please definitely tag me in anything you make!!! genuinely owe so much to my mutuals for their support 🫶🫶 and also don’t be afraid to self-reblog!! chronological dashboard means people WILL miss things if they aren’t online!!!

but genuinely the most important thing is to have fun…… I seriously love amvs…. I think they’re the best thing in the world and spend probably at least half an hour minimum a day watching amvs…….. and we need more of them!!!!! so thank you!!! and please please tag me when you make one!!! and feel free to dm me if you need anything at all!!! like all technical aspects aside… an amv made with so much love and to a fabulous song is a gift to the world…… 🫶🫶

Title: Caesar Shift WC: 900 Episode: Rise (4 x 01)

He wonders what secret decoder rings go for these days. He wonders what cereal box tops he should have been collecting and how likely it is there’s some kind of buy one, get one offer he can send away for. He wonders if anyone still ships things cash on delivery. These are the burning questions he has because he sure could use a secret decoder ring. He could use two of them.

It’s not really new a gap in the wardrobe, though it’s news that there are any gaps in her wardrobe, at least. He looks back on the last three years and it’s a simple task to pick out all the moments between them that might have gone so differently if the two of them had had a pair of wearable, his-and-hers Alberti disks.

The past is the past, though. That, interestingly enough, is a two-way message that’s coming in loud and clear. Three months are gone. She said she’d call. She didn’t, and he’s still mad. They lay all those cards on the table, and in the same frustrated motion, they sweep it clear. The past is the past, and there are new rules of engagement. That’s why they could use a pair of decoder rings, to sort out what that actually means—to get a grip on what means what in this brave new world.

Brave is one word for it—for what he seems to be now. Reckless is another. Stupid . . . Well, he could go on, but he’s not entirely sure what any given word for it might mean right now. So he plays against type. He vaults right over the word for whatever it is he seems to be now and looks at his actions.

He’s done with backing down, chickening out, hiding behind the idea that he’s respecting her boundaries, going at her pace, following her lead. Whatever a spin of the concentric rings might call it, he’s done with it. He learned his lesson at her hospital bedside, and he’ll never get the bitter taste of that unasked question off the tip of his tongue.

You don’t remember . . .

But he’s done with that. Whether it’s anger or the decades he’s aged over these last three months—the decades he aged watching her die in that ambulance—he is simply done ceding ground. Whatever the secret decoder ring might have to say about the source of his newfound whatever, satisfaction is the word that emerges from the cipher when her face goes blank with surprise when he cracks open the new rulebook for her.

He asks about Josh and just keeps asking. He confronts her about freezing up on the job, about the way she’s teetering on the edge of the rabbit hole. He tells her—in not-very-sophisticated code—to cut the crap with the magical thinking about being okay, having leads in her mother’s case, just needing time. He debuts the new Richard Castle from God Knows Where, and there’s a next-level thrill in the challenge accepted narrowing of her eyes.

He doesn’t have words for the shift in her any more than he has them for the sea change in himself. She . . . talks. It’s halting at first, and it hurts. Even when the glare of his own anger is most blinding, God, he can see how it hurts, and still she does it.

He hasn’t kept count of the words. He almost wishes he had. He almost wishes that his brain, for once, wouldn’t inexorably edit on the fly, because he’s absolutely certain that the number of words she speaks in a row have set some kind of record, and still he’d like the exact count.

But more than that—more than even a word count to crow over—he’d like a secret decoder ring. Because she says she really, really liked Josh, but it wasn’t enough, and that last part is too familiar to be a coincidence, isn’t it? It’s the mystery phrase from that he’s turned inside out and upside down in his mind since the night she’d told him they were over.

I have been running around with the school's funniest kid, and it's not enough.

It means—it has to mean—that she’s looking for enough, doesn’t it? It has to be a gauntlet thrown. Or is it his version of magical thinking to believe that beneath the surface, she’s telling him that she is in the market for enough, or she will be once she addresses every damned thing he told her was going on with her that very same night. Crawled inside her mother’s murder and didn’t come out? Check. Serial hiding in nowhere relationships? Checkity check.

He definitely wants a secret decoder ring to confirm that she’s just more or less said he was right about everything. She’s just more or less called him out for being chicken shit when she demanded an answer from him—What about you, Rick?

So here they are, he a man of action, she a woman of not-so-few words. It’s a flip flop, a topsy turvy, a Freaky Friday—Jodie Foster vintage, thank you very much. There’s a word for what this is, for what they are, for what they’ll be in times to come. There’s a word for it, but he needs a secret decoder ring to figure out what it is.

A/N: I feel like Brain Poneh has already gone to this place, but I can't remember when/where. Probably because I am awash in a sea of morphouslessness.

Hi, sorry to bother you and it's okay if you don't answer, because I have no idea if they are appropriate questions for this blog! but I was wondering two things: one is if there still exist blogs that offer unedited base icons for people to take and edit and share (in case one can't take the caps but wants to share icons with a psd etc?) and the other is: is there a specific movie/tvshow source people use to get caps so they can gif hq scenes? or does everybody torrents them? thank you!

Hi there! You’re not bothering at all. Well, like... we answer probably anything related to tumblr and stuff we know or can search for you around here

I used to see a lot of people saying on their posts if you could or not edit their icons, for gifs mostly doesn’t allow that. But a specific blog for this thing, I’m not sure if I have seen. 

There are places you can get the screens and make the icons like you want, yes!

move-screencaps, for movies and their last update was last year, but have a lot of stuff here

homeofthenutty, tv shows and movies and it’s up to date

screencapped, tvshows and movies, but this one they only give you zip folders of the episodes/movie, so you can’t really choose one screen, you get the whole pack. but it’s really good too and hq

Now, a place where you can get screens to make gifs, I don’t know, only the old taking screens from a specific program that make that, and you need to have downloaded the movie/tvshow

I’m still bad at photo manipulation, but here’s a very self-indulgent edit for all my sad and hurt!Cas needs~ ♥

(Screencap source: Homeofthenutty)

[archtroop]

Ok, I’m gonna say this you hatin’ mob SPN13X09 was a gem and fuck offfff into the sunset you’all I’m pissed at all that negativity STOP

So I’m gonna list EVERY FUCKIN’ POSITIVE bit in this ep, and it’s gonna be loooooooooong and spoooooilery and caaaaaaps. Some are thatnX to the HOMEOFTHENUTTY. 

NOW lets go.

1.

I ADORED THE ARTIST WHO IS ALSO SEER AND A DREAM-WALKER. Too bad he dies :(

2.

LANDSCAPE.

Like WHOAA

just look at this i want to eat this up i want to cuddle this ominous scenery gulp it up like fresh water on a hot day are U KIDDIN’ ME THIS IS ARSFKMNGVKJJJX

also it’s a reversed cross if you really wanna loot at it that way. home on one side, nowhere on the other, a road straight to hell, a “ah-ah I’mmaa off that road right here stopstop oops here is a bail-out road” option on the left of it, and they are all on the main highway like yup that’s what I’ve signed for back in ‘05

3.

DEAN FINDING THE MAIN FAT CLUE IN SOME WEIRD WAY

coz that’s what Dean does, you know? Like he is attracted to shit like that

4.

DADS JOURNAL IS STILL ALIVE AND KICKIN’

coz you know, John had 20+ years over his sons of research and experience, we are “only” on the 13th season you’all 

5.

THAT GIANT

angel  

WING

Is that a seagull? An eagle? DEATH? Bats? Angels? Crows? The fuck is this? This is awesome.

6.

SOMEWHERE BETWEEN PURE INNOCENCE AND PURE EVIL

…lies Jack. Pun intended.

7.

NO THOUCHIN’

8.

AND THIS AMAZING SHOT OF DEAN’S MIND:

9. “THE DOOR IS A BIT KINKY”

…well the whole episode deals with breaking down doors or barging through doors or at least coming through a door in some way:  1. Jack enters Derek’s workshop invited. 2. Patience’s father standing at a door as the talk: twice, at her room, and later on, as she leaves the house. 3.  Jack breaking the door of the rehab center Kaia is institutionalized in. 4. The sunken boat entrances: as out intrepid heroes go in, and later the angels. 5. The door the the other world itself. 6. Jody opens the door to welcome Patience as she walks towards her new adventure and purpose in life. Beautiful.

10. “You go now, you choose this life, you don’t come back”.

And you know what? This is awesome.

First thing, he doesn’t cast her out, this is a father telling his daughter that there is no coming back from this choice of hers to normality. He is not angry, not disappointed. He is worried. And last but not least - she is going towards the SUPERNATURAL, and the unknown, to do GOOD IN THIS WORLD. She is doing an altruistic move, not a selfish one like Sam (nothing against self-care here, just facts). THESE ALL OR OPPOSITES TO WHAT HAPPENED BETWEEN JOHN AND SAM.  They are showing us HOW TO PARENT RIGHT.  As opposed to suffocating your child within your own norms (Sam), to a child making his own choice, and as to say, “spreading her wings”.  In no way this is a callous, cheap call-back. This is, in my opinion, a very well done analogy, showing a different way with words. A similar situation, worlds apart. Pun intended.

Also, the thematic of POWERS CAN BE USED FOR GOOD EVEN IF YOU ARE THE SON OF SATAN is so refreshing, and fuckin’ mature I’m SO PROUD OF MY HEROES, SOSOSO MUCH. I’m so proud of SHOW for getting tot his point!

11. “And he is The Son of Satan?”. “I am. Yes”.

THIS.

12. “Get in the car”.

That moment when Dean draws a loaded gun at Kaia to threaten her into cooperation: EVIL. And that’s the point. In my opinion, he just got so hard slapped in the face by reality, about Mary still being alive, and him NOT going after her (as opposed to when dad gone missing), that he couldn’t really see much difference between right and wrong. OR, he was well conscious of himself, knows he is damn frightening as he is, and with a gun - any puny human other than Sam would piss himself. So he uses this in his advantage. Would shoot a foot though, if he really had too. OR BOTH, which is very much a Dean thing.

13. The scenery strikes back again!

Apparently this is a real location (don’t have the source but it is). Plus, THE TUNE!

14.

The intriguing “Larsen Bros” sign that is shown too clearly to be a coincidence. Plus, iconic street lamp.

Guess is, this is a Chekhov’s Gun, and that’s how Patience will later find them. Plus, Google gives me this:

The Larsen Bros - Don’t Fear The Reaper (cover)

Like, why not. This is so fuckin’ weird, like the vid was uploaded for the ep, cut, like in 2016??? And there are sings pointing “OUT” behind the two man band singing???? HUH??? I dunno. No one has commented. YET. We can make some guys really weird out if we go collectively and put some comments on there about The Son Of Satan and Multiple Dimensions. Who’s with me…?

15. DANGEROUS G(O)ODS, DO NOT GET T(O)o CLOSE

And without Sam everyone would’ve been a toast by now.

16. A REMINDER: ANGELS ARE SCARY AF

17. THE OTHER WORLDS:

Are you shitting me??? This is so REAL. Look, some of them aren’t even WORLDS yet. Or already. Some are desert. Some are black hole. Awesome shit. And I think, at this point, our heroes are so legendary, they’ve been through so much, they’ve achieved the plot-lines of parallel realities. Who amazing is that? From unicorn and werewolf monstrosities and “mundane” scares and horrors, through the apocalyptic and the otherworldly, to THIS.

18. (A) MARY TRAPPED BEHIND A DILAPIDATED JESUS, ON OF GOD.

With an “eye” of Sauron  on the right…

The many halos of Mary, of light and thorns and clasping metal:

19. Bringing the house down with a scream:

You know how the most Narnia-like stuff is always stuck in some weird place, like ON A HALF SUNKEN BOAT IN FUCKIN’ DAKOTA. THIS RIGHT HERE.

20. Molten angel blade and dead angel wings imprints:

21. A literal DOOR:

22. Larsen Bros Shipyard sign again, but without the “closed” sticker (coz it’s opened now huh):

23.

And here we have  THE SON OF SATAN BEHOLDING in sheer awe A DANGLING MARY BEHIND CHRIST, and that’s how you reconstruct a 2000+ y/o belief system and make angels cry, Beautiful.

24.

And, the GIANT FOOTPRINT.

[rippermorality]

the fact i have to use homeofthenutty instead of kissthemgoodbye as screencap source but homeofthenutty keeps crashing when i load the pics.
