| - Vidding is the fan labor practice in media fandom of creating music videos from the footage of one or more visual media sources, thereby commenting on the source text(s). The creator may explore a single character, support a particular romantic pairing between characters, criticize or celebrate the original text, or point out an aspect of the TV show or film that she feels goes unnoticed. The creators refer to themselves as "vidders", their product as "vids", "fanvids", or "songvids", and the act itself as vidding.

| - Vidding is the fan labor practice in media fandom of creating music videos from the footage of one or more visual media sources, thereby commenting on the source text(s). The creator may explore a single character, support a particular romantic pairing between characters, criticize or celebrate the original text, or point out an aspect of the TV show or film that she feels goes unnoticed. The creators refer to themselves as "vidders", their product as "vids", "fanvids", or "songvids", and the act itself as vidding. Vidding can occur within a fandom; however, it is also often considered its own fandom, as vidding fans will often watch vids simply because they are vids. (This is distinct from fan fiction readers and other fans, for instance, who tend to choose what to engage based on source text more than form.) Accordingly, vidding has its own dedicated fan convention, Vividcon. Fan video culture and products within anime fandom are distinct from those of media fandom. Rather than fanvids, anime fans produce anime music videos. Interestingly, while a large number of anime video makers are male,[citation needed] the bulk of vidders in media fandom are women.
