Will anyone know if I plagiarize? |

In all likelihood, yes. Especially if you chose a sequence of clips. The odds of two people editing a sequence in the exact same order with the exact same timing is highly unlikely. It becomes even less likely when there are fades, overlays, time compressions/stretches or other effects used, such as cropping a video or zooming in. Most of us in the vidding community like to watch all the vids that come out so odds are the original editor is going to see their work. Sometimes it is someone else that recognizes a sequence from one of their favorite vids. Besides, most of us time our clips to our music and they generally won't match up to another song meaningfully and will probably look a little out of place. Also, you don't grow as an editor by copying a sequence from someone else. It's also obvious when clip quality varies greatly. Most eps available for download are taken from the DVDs and are pretty good in quality even if they do vary slightly in aspect ratio, whereas clips chosen from a low quality vid only get worse when re-rendered, leaving you with a poor video quality product.
