The thing about all these is that, IMHO, they're usually done to tell a story or evoke a mood, not just to make it shinier.
I think that the 90% of effects you mention are all pretty standard in AMVs, too, though they're the sort of thing that if done well they don't really stand out so much--I know in a lot of my AMVs it's pretty obvious that I've messed with clip rates, for example, because I am not technically skilled (though I like to think I'm getting better). And even some of the more obvious effects, like sepia-toning or texturizing, are also used in the service of story and/or concept.
Where AMVs and vids part company in this respect is that it's possible in AMVs to create footage that is purely effects, like original animation or the live action footage in the AMV by Koopiskeva I linked in my third post. Yes/no?
