AMV is an acronym that stands for Anime Music Video.
An AMV is a fan tribute to a certain anime or manga. It consists of images from an anime or manga set to a specific song or medley. There are two types of AMVs: slideshows or clips. A slideshow AMV uses just pictures or stillframes, whereas a clip AMV uses actual footage from the anime. A well-made AMV will sync the images to the song for maximum effect, either matching the lyrics or enhancing the mood.
A related term to AMV is "anime MAD" or just "MAD". A MAD is the same as an AMV, but generally refers to a video stemming from the site Nico Nico Douga (a Japanese video-sharing site like YouTube). MADs are not restricted to only clips or slideshows, but can also be original animations. Some MADs are amazing, with stunning visuals.
Some examples:
A Hetalia: Axis Powers AMV
A Hetalia: Axis Powers MAD
A Fullmetal Alchemist AMV
Hope that explains everything! :D
