Not to be confused with YTMND, a YTPMV is the process of editing clips in such a way they become musical - as if the characters are singing. It's ok to add backing, like a drum track to help it along but the point is the music is created from the existing sound rather than just plastering over the existing sound with some music (which is what an AMV is) This process has been used frequently by The Electric Cheese, Nuthacker, Vorhias, Ophios, igiulamam, and varied others.

The term "YTPMV" was popularized by The Electric Cheese, although he did not coin the phrase. The pooper began to use the term after he had seen it used by another pooper on Youtube.

Different Types of YTPMVs

Synced to Another Song

A very popular style that has spawned a few fads, such as THIS VIDEO CONTAINS WIN and "(Insert name here) has Sand in his/her Ocean", it is often criticized as being uncreative and lazy. It is very hard to make in a video editor that doesn't allow layering, and the original song (which is often a video game song with no lyrics) provides a note template making it easy to sync sounds to it. An occasional problem can be getting the timing right due to software limitations or incorrect/low frame rate. While it helps to have at least minor musical background when making one, you only need to not be tone deaf to make a decent one.

Remakes of Other Songs

These can be considered cover songs. It is very similar to syncing it to the original version (in fact, you can do that and remove the original track after editing), but allows for personal modifications such as a change of tempo, key, or section layout. An easy way to make a song like this is to apply samples to a midi file in a music editor.

A very rare type or remake style is a character karaoke YTPMV, in which words of a character are spliced together to make the words of the original song, and applied to a lyricless version of the track. This style is incredibly rare and difficult to do because of this. One good example is Take King Out by Moto200Alt.

Original Compositions

One of the more rare types of YTPMVs, most commonly made by Ophios and RobotComics. This kind may take longer to make and requires a certain level of musicianship to create. Most of the time, the creator searches a source for interesting sounds to use in the song, and puts them together as they see fit. While the music can be very creative and appealing, the video accompanying it tends to appear nonsensical and helps maintain to YouTube Poop theme.

Occasionally, these songs can have lyrics. They are often made from clips of characters talking, adjusted to fit a beat. This tends to have a very rap- or hip-hop-like feel, but can sometimes work with dance or break beat styles as well.

The Gray Area

Semi-original compositions use ready-made drum beats or other parts of songs that aren't work of the creator. This gets into the creativity gray area ranging from plunderphonics to covers. It is possible to make a song using the vocals and drum beat, but use a completely different riff. Remixes of this type are subject to a wide variety of opinions, and are really difficult to classify as either "original" or "unoriginal".

YouTube Poop Soccer

A musical variant of YouTube Poop Tennis, which could be made using any of these other methods, competitively.
