Oh my god BLESS THIS POST. I’m writing this not in the tags because this is hella important. It takes /so/ much time to make fanvids - for real. It’s a really hard skill to learn and it has a really steep learning curve. To be actually good really takes serious dedication and time as with any form of art. I wish I could just click a button to create the thing in my head, but I will spend up to 3 hours just editing ONE SECOND of a video. That’s why so many editors only upload things around 45 seconds to 1:30 minutes. It’s damn challenging pulling off an incredibly long edit with an entire song. 

It can take me up to 3 weeks to edit around 60 seconds of a well done edit, regardless of my levels of inspiration and I know I’m not an exception.

Everyone who makes fanvids works so damn hard and yeah they deserve a helluva lot of fandom cred.
