I know what you mean about keeping vids for their songs, sometimes I would just stuff all my fave vids into winamp and play it without the video. The thing is tho, if your vid idea don't fit the full length of the song (or the song is 8 minutes long, which has happened to me before), it would be a stronger vid in general if the song was trimmed.
But for instance, for Welcome Home there was NO WAY I was gonna trim that song, because I was vidding it *for* the song. But for Soy - The *Other* White Meat the idea itself was fairly straightforward and I cut the song down by half.
It all depends on whether you're more vidding the song for the song *itself* or whether you're more vidding a story *using* a song; all vids are a combination of both reasons I think, but sometimes it more one reason than the other.
