Welp! I've recently started to find Cloud an interesting character, after I was hit with some random editing inspo two days ago ^^
I feel like I should say real quick that I know nothing about him aside from the fact that he's apparently very serious, and possibly quite calm too. And I'm sure this song doesn't fit him at all, but I just wanted to choose a song that could have good editing vibes, in general.
I also got myself super duper hyped for the FFVII remake yesterday, after watching one trailer, but uh, I don't believe it's known when or if the game could get released ^^''
Anywho, I ended up using clips of that trailer and Dissidia FF NT. Also wanted to use Advent Children, but I haven't watched that movie yet, and I wanted to use my editing ideas right away, so I didn't feel like watching that movie just to find some clips to use. But I could watch it another time!
It was quite fun adding Twixtor to this edit ^^
In general editing this was very fun and I really got into it.
This is also, I believe, the first AE project in which I added the coloring whiiiile adding the other effects, instead of adding the coloring last.
I wanted this to be my next AE-only edit, but unfortunately, AE made my clips appear as a red screen if I added any Sapphire effects. And Twixtor was the first effect I added to everything before anything else, so I couldn't find a fix for this, and I didn't want to look too hard for one. And so, I decided to simply add what I want to add in AE, and then continue editing this in SV.
Hmmm, and yeah. The editing process was very easy and I can't say I had any difficulties besides not being to add some effects in AE due to that red screen.
This video took about 47 minutes to render in Adobe Encoder and 39 minutes in SV. Which is quite a bit for this laptop, I guess, but I'm still very glad that it only took this long. And plus, I had also added RSMB in SV, which boosts the render time.
Speaking of SV, I was super impressed by how quickly the frames rendered, despite this rendering time.
Theee result of this looks different from what I had in my mind in some places, more or less the same in others, and actually better than what I had in mind in some other places.
I kinda wanted to add something else to this edit to increase the depth of the bass in this song, but I couldn't quite think of what, without feeling like I'll mess up the video, but even if I didn't do this thing, I still feel like the result is really good and quite close to how the song sounds.
I'm really happy with this edit, honestly ^w^ I'm happy with my clip choices and how they flow together.
And I suppose that is all I have to say!
Sooo, I really hope that y'all enjoy this edit and have a great day/night c:

![[ Oh my misbehavior . . . ] {Testing new effects}](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/c5QjvnZa7C4/mqdefault.jpg "[ Oh my misbehavior . . . ] {Testing new effects}
So then! Yesterday I got a bunch of new effects, and I decided to try them out by making a test video!
Some of the ones I got crashed Vegas so I had to uninstall them completely. Guess Ill try again with those whenever I get a better laptop.
Making this was interesting, and I was very excited to try all of this new stuff out. But what got me a little disappointed tho was the fact that I had created some spinning 3D text for the savior lyric, but apparently Vegas didnt render it. And its not like it was on a separate layer that was muted - it was in the videos effects, themselves. This morning I tried again, but it seemed to render the clip as a black screen, but the smoke effect was still there, and I gave up at that point. So there goes my effort, but oh well XD
This song and style idea was inspired by an Insta edit I recently saw.
Honestly, I would like to know why as of late Ive been wasting perfectly good video ideas to make mediocre projects like this...I think I should stop XD
I ruined the Twixtor a little by not rendering this in 60 fps. Rip.
Buuut what I do feel pretty happy with is the first two clips ^^
I also dedicate this video to my girlfriend! Ayooooo XDD
So then, I guess thats all.
I hope yall enjoy this, I suppose? ^^

So uh, yesterday I just had this Genius idea of staying awake for as long as I can XD As a result, Ive currently made it through the day with some brief 1 hour to 1 and a half hour of sleep, but Im alright, dont worry ^^
Anyways! This sparked an idea for me at about 4 AM, when I felt like I wanted to edit with YGO and break out AE. Ive been getting back into YGO again recently, Duel Monsters, especially, so I really wanted to give this a shot ^^
Had no idea what song to use tho, I decided to go with this.
I decided to edit quick while I still had the motivation to do so, and it went quite smoothly!
I tried out some new thingies thanks to tutorials, and Im actually super duper happy with the result ^w^ I personally really like edits that are bouncy and kinda free-flowing but very smooth, and I feel like I managed to achieve that here, and Im glad about that :3
The only thing I really half-assed was adding the clips, as I chose to cut the clips in the loop short, so it loops four times and not twice, so I could maintain my energy for the rest of the video ^^
However, when it got to adding effects, I put a lot of care into them and I decided to sit there for a bit longer to make them more precise ^^
Oh and??? I actually used a gif in here, its the last clip before the loop kjsskjhsaj I wasnt planning on looking for the clip separately, so yea XD
Personally I think its kind of impressive that I managed to start this at 4 AM and actually make something nice out of it XD
This also took 52 minutes and 54 seconds to render, which is, oof owo
And I suppose thats all I have to say about this! ^^ I hope that yall enjoy this edit, and have a very good day/night! c:

Please watch in HD! ^w^
(Also I love how this has a 4k option XD) (I mean yall could also try to watch this in 4k if youre feeling rowdy XD)
I think this actually looks better on YouTube and in Vegas than in the actual file of it XD
Anyways, this idea was something spontaneous that came to me about 2 days ago. I had seen edits done in low fps on Insta before, and I guess simply the thought of doing one, myself, was what motivated me here. I had never tried this before, so it all felt very fresh and exciting c:
And for my chosen song here - I went on a trip fairly recently for a few days, and this was one of the songs I heard on the radio away from home, and I felt like it could have neat summer vibes for an edit like this ^^
And as for the media! I chose Owari No Seraph bc I was looking through the media I have, and I thought about which media this song could suit the most, and eventually I decided that it could be this one :3
From there, this project quickly took flight, and my motivation throughout making this was very consistent, to my surprise.
Upon first adding the effects, I was a bit surprised to see just how choppy everything looked, but I felt like that was the whole beauty of this all :3
Im also happy that I decided to add a brief part with typography here, since I like the outcome and I feel like it adds more to the edit! :3
I also found an easier way of doing slide transitions for solid colors, and I uuuhhh cant believe I hadnt tried it earlier XD
So yeah! editing like this was surprisingly fun and also easy :3
I rendered this a good amount of times tho, thanks to some little things I wanted to fix here and there. Like it being too bright. I think I rendered it about 5 times? But thats okay, since the render time was very very quick, so the wait felt like nothing at all, and since it was that fast, I at least wanted to put full effort into it ^^ This version that you see took 2 minutes and 58 seconds to render in the end :3
Oh and just for fun, I decided to set the project fps to 60 after it rendered, to see how it would look, and boy was it amusing?? XD You can very clearly see that it isnt meant to be watched in 60 fps XD Like the keyframes for the solid colors and text were very smooth, but something REALLY happened to most of the keyframes for the actual clips XD
Thats probably bc the lower you drop the fps, the higher the stutter duration gets, so if I had to like, end off a keyframe one millisecond before the end of a clip, bc otherwise it doesnt play fully at 12 fps - it just ends up looking strange in 60 fps, and if one certain tiny shake did more motion blur in 12 fps - you can look at that in 60 fps and be like what is that XD
Oh and the reason why this probably has a 4k option is because the resolution of this edit is 2000x2000, so that most likely confuses YouTube XD
So yep! That is all I wanna say about this, sooo! I hope yall enjoy this edit! cx

Please watch this in HD! cx
Asdfghjkl! I finished watching YGO GX yesterday, and!!! My dudes!!
It was so awesome!! XD
The ending of this series left me feeling happy and fulfilled, but, nearly to a whole nother level! Seeing it gave me so much energy, and enough energy to throw this together really quickly! x3
The ending was absolutely adorable, I couldnt get enough of the wonderful timing EVERYWHERE, and for this whole series, the intense moments were on point, and even if the dub annoyed me a little during the last couple episodes of season 3, the Japanese season 4 fixed this for me, and in general, Im just really happy that Ive completed watching something I started watching when I was little cx
This idea was super duper spontaneous! But I think this song kinda...fits him here perfectly! Even with it being spontaneous, tho, I wanted it to evoke emotion :3
I wouldve finished this late at night, but I decided to go to bed after I finished setting down the clips and the voice clips. And now I think that was a good idea, bc if I wouldve not done that, this wouldve been so much more half assed.
I decided to add some extra stuff and fix some little things, so if I wouldve originally finished editing in 3 hours, I decided to add in one more hour of doing stuff, just so this is not too plain.
One little problem I had with the voice clips was that Vegas was muting the audio of the episodes even if I KNEW they had audio. But thankfully my gf suggested a converter and it worked like a charm XD
Oooohh boy but the biggest challenge was rendering this. Nearly gave up on that and decided to leave this for whenever I get a new laptop! The clips were flickering all over the place, when they shouldnt have, and the clips started disappearing and appearing as a green screen, and not even rendering this could fix that. I tried multiple things. I saw that one of the most popular fixes for this was going into preferences and GPU acceleration and turning it off? But...The thing was that...I didnt even have anything to turn _on_ in the first place - my only option was off, so...lololol
My next idea before just deciding to fuck around with this a bit more and then giving up, was to open this project in Vegas Pro 15 and render it on there. Holy shit??? Im glad I got that idea??? Bc it worked perfectly!! And the rendering time was a blissful 37 minutes. That is so quick, yall! XD I wouldve definitely anticipated it to go over an hour or more! XD
Alright, so now Ill be keeping that Vegas Pro 15 method in mind :3
Next uuuup! I think I might get to watching YGO 5Ds, but the subbed version, definitely. Or I might also check out some other anime. The other ones I have in mind are Angel Beats and Code:Realize ^^
I really hope yall enjoy this spontaneous thingy! c:
(Only after watching this a couple times did I realize that theres a TV Tokyo logo on the episodes XD Oops XD Please ignore that XD)
