Here’s where I’m keeping all the images (updating each time I make a new one)

The words will be the lyrics to “Merry Christmas” (by Elton John and Ed Sheeran; in italic) and at which point each image fades in (in bold), the transitions will always be either a simple fade or a regular transition (i.e. no effects) and that’ll probably be the only needed effect beside the timing of when each transition happens.

Fade frames will say "FADE INTO" whereas regular transition frames will just say "TRANSITION INTO". There is the possibility that I'll end up changing my mind about what frames are fade or regular after seeing the first finished product of the video, since I might decide that what I pictured mentally doesn't fit for what I actually ended up drawing.

There’ll also be some black screens but only when they’re specifically noted to happen below

IMPORTANT NOTE: Please play the song at 0.85x speed instead of the regular/default speed of the song, so that the frames have slightly longer to be onscreen and the tempo sounds more easygoing.

Please title the video the following (what is in bold text): '''Merry Christmas, Everyone! - 2023 Holiday Wikipets Wiki Tribute'''

Please use the below image as a thumbnail:



—————————————

Green text means special notes that you must read to understand the requested edit. This will be used during instrumental parts of the song (among other parts) so that you know when to edit when there are no lyrics. I know it’s gonna sound complicated, but please read it all!

Blue text is what I have to draw and will be in place of an image while there is no image there yet. Just ignore this, it’s for me to use while I’m drawing the pictures so that I know what to make!

————————————— (BEGIN THE AUDIO APPROXIMATELY AT TIMESTAMP 0:21)

The four intros denote the instrumental part early on in the song where you can start to hear the strings playing a melody before moving on to the main song. The timestamps won't be exact, but just know that the intro is split into equal quarters so that it's easier to tell where things are!

Each intro lasts for 4 beats. You should be able to count 16 beats' worth of the full string intro. Let me know if you're having trouble separating each quarter of the intro into 4 beats!

Intro 1 - approximately 0:21 to 0:23

''BELLS 2: *Four more rings of a bell, the second of which is immediately followed by the word "so"*

End the video by fading out the audio + final frame starting at the first ring of the bells that happen where it's marked "BELLS 2", and make sure it's faded out by the third bell ring so that you can't hear the "so just keep" lyric that comes after. The end will approximately be at timestamp 1:31.
