I haven't had much time or motivation to edit recently. School has been taking up a lot of my time and I rarely get time to myself, and when I do, I generally don't have motivation to do much. Although, as of yesterday I've been kind of trying to force myself to do things, in hopes that maybe with time, I won't feel like I'm forcing myself to do stuff.
This is a project that I began making in early October, when this was my favorite song and it was stuck in my head. I had seen two Prompto edits with this song on Instagram and it's safe to say that both of them really inspired me here.
For this video, I really wanted to add a personal touch to it, so I wanted to use pictures from my own FFXV game! ^^ The first picture that appears of Prompto isn't mine, while the rest are ^^ The second one you see is smth I took with Ansel, and the others are ones that Prompto took :3
Editing this felt really easy and fun to do, aside from a certain problem that I encountered later down the road. When the video was nearly done - I was pretty much done with adding the transitions and I had only one more left to add - I opened the project and every clip that had a Sapphire effect applied to it had been replaced with a red screen. There were quite a few of them. It took up most of the clips here. I had to remove all of the effects needed for the transitions, and I knew that from that point I would need to redo the transitions without Sapphire OFX. But I really wasn't feeling in the mood for doing so. I abandoned this project for a while bc of that, and I didn't feel like coming back to it. I briefly came back to it one day to remake two transitions (remake as in, redo them in a way they weren't before, and in which I preferred them better), but that was it. A while back I had decided to try to simply uninstall and reinstall Sapphire OFX for AE bc it seemed to be that specifically those effects, and I think also Universe, were not working. Everything else was. So after reinstalling both, the plugins finally worked again! But I still didn't really do anything for this project. However, today I finally decided to finish this up. I essentially combined an older autosaved version of the project together with the ''newer'' one with the remade transitions, and added a coloring.
I feel like the result of this video is quite smooth and nice, tbh. Quite simple, but ye.
I'm very happy that this took only 5 minutes and 25 seconds to render! ^^
About the title of this video: I named it this way bc I couldn't really decide on a project name, so I felt like this was the best thing that could fit the feel of the video, and I left in the ''.aep'' bc I think it adds some liveliness to the title ^^
One thing is that I forgot to remove a flash at 0:17, after the loop. Oh well.
Well then, that would be all!
I hope that y'all enjoy this video, and that you all have a good day/night ^^

*slight flicker and color changing warning*
Woooo!
Im also proud of this one x3
So a while back I saw a buuuuncch of edits on insta (and yt!!) of Gojo in this episode of jjk, and, honestly these edits were in the back of my brain throughout most of the next day then XD I downloaded this ep specifically to edit these scenes too bc they are so COOL, and id already made a quick edit of him previously, but for this one!! i felt more inspired and I wanted to give it another shot :3
So I suppose this is my addition to those edits ^^
I instantly vibed with this song after hearing it in one of the edits I watched, and I really wanted to use it too x3
My very first idea with this was to make something of an infinite looping comfort edit for myself! Wasnt sure if I would post it, but Im feeling happy enough with it to do so :3 This video also loops as a whole, video and audio-wise X3 The colors dont really match by the time it loops, but oh well!
I threw this together during some of my free time and it was really fun to make x3 It was a smooth process in general, and I really got into the flow of it ^^
I wanted to add this many loops to hopefully maintain my level of effort throughout the video, and that worked! And to make the loops a bit more interesting I changed smth up in each of them, mostly colors, and some other little things.
I nearly felt too lazy to do the slides near the end of the loop, but i managed to do them!
Woohoo I used different fonts this time around :o
Also a part of making this was me going ooooh right i had this idea!! and oooh what if i do this??? *does it* OOOOH! XD
...ah I forgot to do most flashes and blurs owo oh well owo
I guess I also kind of intentionally made this more like the edits that you see on insta, bc why not ^^
To make a note, no, i did not make this at 5 in the morning owo
This only took about 28 minutes to render which is great, considering that, most of my render times now are at least 40 minutes for effect heavy videos ^^ Then again, most of this is a pre-rendered loop, but yea ^^
I feel like these edits made me like Gojo even more and now im in a bit of a troublesome situation where I still dont entirely want to continue watching jjk, but at the same time i do bc of Gojo, i- XD
But yes! I really hope that yall enjoy this, and also have a very good day/night ^w^

Please watch in HD! c:
Eeeeee Im very happy with the result of this edit, actually! ^w^
So, I started making this 3 days ago, after finally getting home after nearly an entire edit idea in my head. Earlier that day, I saw this fantastic MEP with this song and it had a whole lot of Final Fantasy clips in it, especially ones from FFVII Advent Children. Aaand it all seriously inspired me! My reason for choosing this combo of characters is because in that MEP, parts with these characters came one after another and these two parts were the ones that inspired me the most :3
I took some inspiration from like 2 text effects used in one of the parts and I decided to play around with something similar, but create it to my liking, and see if I can find anything that I would like to continue using onwards :3
I also took some inspo for the some of the clip selections and placements x3 (Also the little closing black bar near the end ^^)
I was already happy with the look of this after adding clips and a coloring, and when I got to editing, I had loads of fun trying out these little things that Ive never tried before - like adding a soft fade to the lines that I usually do, using the screen blend mode more often for text, and I also found a new preset transition that I came to like :3 Its sorta like the flash and blur transition that I usually do without presets ^^ Its called uni.Exposure blur! :3 I also thought of some new ways to do typography :3
Given that the typography is very active, I kiiind of wanted to make the background more calm, but I couldnt really help myself, and ended up making the clips match the intensity as well! Although, I intentionally made the clips and effects more calm and less active towards the very end, so it wouldnt be a constant strain of a lot of things to pay attention to, throughout the whole video ^^
Okie, now I would like to talk about my ideas!
I would like to say that there was an effect similar to the one I did here with the first its three, three get ready lyric in the MEP I watched, for that same lyric, so thats the one I took inspo from for the first pieces of text aside from the first its two, cause two is for the show. The other text ideas came to me after looping this part of the song many times and thinking. Im especially surprised at the outcome of the lyrics that I added during Renos part!
I used After Effects to make that part, and, man that was some trial and error XD Buuuut! I was able to do it completely like I imagined it in my head!!!
This brings me to my next thing! This edit turned out to look PRECISELY the way I thought it would look in my head, if not better! owo
I literally felt like I broke my own patience while making this. I generally dont have the patience to completely perfect my work or to put too much effort into it.
I did notice some little things I wouldve liked to improve on after it first rendered. (which it did in 33 minutes and 33 seconds, might I add lol) After seeing these things, I decided, since Im already quite dedicated to this edit, I might as well first every little thing I dont like about the render, mainly the outro screen. And so I did, and then it finished rendering after 31 minutes and 44 seconds ^^
However, even if I went a bit out of my comfort zone with this project, Im kinda glad I did.
Aaaaa and I think thats all I have to say for now!
I really really hope that yall enjoy this edit, and that yall have a really great day/night as well x3

HD is a friend! ^w^
I must say, I think Chazz/Jun is my favorite character to edit with, when it comes to comedic edits XD
Aaand thats what this is supposed to be - a comedic edit ^^
I think I began this on the 20th of July, this year?
This was the first thing I got to making when I found the name of this song after hearing it in an Instagram edit.
This is heavily inspired by that edit. It was an edit made by miaouamvs, I believe.
I also found myself laughing as I was setting the clips, namely the very first clip here, which I had added later down the road XD
I was also trying to make the clips fit the lyrics somewhat ^^
After I had set those clips in Vegas, aaand gotten to editing in AE, it was a lot of fun to try out these kind of transitions, bc theyre done a little different from how I would usually do them, and honestly, I think this is now my fave way to do transition curves in AE ^^
It was also fun learning how to make text follow a path, and therefore making the two lyrics you see here ^^
Now, rendering this was a bit of a chore. Im not quite sure why, but at a specific clip, which is the one at the part where the lyrics go grow up like a-, Media Encoder always stopped rendering and showed that it failed. After many failed attempts, I tried to think of an alternative way to render this. Eventually, I had tried to render straight from AE in a lossless avi format, which resulted in a huge file size (like, 6 gb). After this, I converted the video with Handbrake, and it did so very quickly - it also left the quality still looking nice, and being able to find an alternative like this made me really happy ^^
Ah, regarding the video, I def feel like my fave part here is the spin transition, and I also like how the text turned out to look ^^
Heck, I think Im happy with this edit, in general XD
The only thing is that I wish I had extended the fade out for the today piece of text a little more. Oh well.
Soooo! I reeeally hope that yall enjoy this! ^w^
And III also hope that yall have a great day/night x3
Ive also finished editing and rendering 3 edits today - Im on some kind of roll XD

Please watch in HD ^^
Huh, I think Ive figured out that editing with pictures like this is my fave way of editing in AE^^
Aaanyways, I started this project 2 days ago when I felt like I really wanted to edit with Aki in some way, but I was absolutely clueless as to what song I could use. First I remembered about a rock song that could maybe fit her, but I didnt feel any inspiration for that song. Plus, I didnt feel like I wanted to edit with anything too lyric heavy since I wasnt feeling up for trying to find fitting clips to download from YT again. I was looking through songs and I remembered about this one which I had seen in one Instagram edit. I started contemplating that maybe I could use this, but I definitely wasnt confident in this choice at first. However, this changed with time.
As I was editing this in AE, it felt like all of what I was doing was happening so smoothly, and I didnt even need to put thought into what I was doing - it was just happening, really.
This is, of course, after some trial and error after coming back to the project and nearly breaking the flow of it. I added about three pictures with effects and transitions after the one at 0:04, and none of them appear in this final video here. And the effects and transition styles I used werent kept, either. I was trying to make those clips work, but it just didnt feel right, so I went ahead and deleted what I had done there, and then began rethinking what could go with the flow. Thats when it started feeling fun again.
In general, It was a whole lot of fun editing this, especially in AE. I had some trouble with the Twixtor however, bc it wasnt working the way I wanted it to, with the third anime clip I used here, but eventually I got it to work in some way.
Speaking of those - I actually got the clips from YT, once again, so I apologize for the quality of them. Another thing that bothered me a little was that I hadnt realized that I could mask out the subtitles that were on the clips I used. These subtitles arent visible when the clip is done rolling, but they could or can be seen as the clip _is_ rolling. I tried to fix this later on, but Im a bit worried that it looks messy ^^
By that, I mean that once I felt like I was done with this, and I had rendered it, I put it into Vegas - mostly to add a coloring, because I was worried that adding MBL would mess the rendering process up in AE.
I made a coloring specifically for this video, instead of editing an already existing coloring I had made, and I feel like its quite nice. There were a lot of points where I had to fade the video in and out of it because some parts were a bit too bright, so I had to go in and decrease that part alone.
To hopefully make the subtitles less visible, I added a lot of RSMB as well as blurs and flashes on the anime clips. But maybe the RSMB was a mistake to add on some of the clips, bc they just dont have subtitles and it wasnt really needed XD
There was something that I forgot to do before rendering this thing in AE before, so thats why I said that I _felt_ like I was done. I wanted to add a glitch effect, but the kind that can be done with S_TVDamage. I tried to do the effect the same way it would be done in AE, in Vegas, but the result was different, so first I searched for videos, but after finding nothing I just decided to make the glitch effect, myself, so I could use it in Vegas and wont have to re-render the edit again. I feel like the result of the glitch is good ^^
The last thing I wanna say is that this took 2 hours and 51 minutes to render, and I waited through all of it. I was a bit horrified when I saw it show that there were 42 minutes left to render when it first stopped, but as you can see, that was definitely not the case in the end XD It was nearly 1 AM by the time it was done, and I feel like rendering messed the clips up a bit, bc it still looked fine in Vegas preview screen, and I have no clue what happened to the bass shake at the end. It didnt look that bad before XD
A little disappointed that I didnt render the edit in 60 fps in AE, simply bc I forgot it was set to 30 fps (and rendering this in 60 fps in Vegas would not be the best idea), bc I feel like then this couldve looked a bit more smooth, or nicer, but oh well.
IIII hope yall enjoy this? XD
I also hope that you all have a good day or night ^^

Just a very simple MMD video I decided to throw together to try out this model of Cloud.
I really like how this model looks, and I thought that the animations here look nice here, so ye ^^
I rendered this with a green screen and then cut it out in Vegas to add some extra effects.
I originally wanted to try a stage, but I dont quite know how to use like, animated stages correctly and whatnot, so I stuck with this.
Maaaybe I should have removed the soft focus in this coloring. Oh well.
Welp, guess I dont have much to say about this, so on to the credits. Hope that yall enjoy this random thing ^^
