Mate I had to render this at least like 9 times so by this point I'm tired of this project sjsjjsjsjsjs
But anyways!
I began this project, I believe last week? I recently got into the Devil May Cry series and started playing the first game, and I feel like it's a lot of fun :3 I'm also super hyped about whenever I could buy Devil May Cry 5 ^^ However, when it came to editing - for the longest time I was in a state of not having enough inspiration to edit DMC projects. Sure, I could enough inspiration to START a project and put down the audio and maybe some clips but it didn't go much beyond that. So then I was just sitting there with four Devil May Cry projects and an immovable sense of wanting and not wanting to work on them at the same time. For this project in particular, I wasn't really feeling it and I kind of doubted I would even finish it. Buuut to my surprise I was able make it until the state of setting all of the clips.
After that, editing began feeling a bit easier again, but I still wasn't completely confident in what I was making. I couldn't understand if what I was making was ugly or not.
I had set some clips first and then made a coloring - which I made by tweaking another coloring that I had made for a completely different edit, and plus added in some other plugins that I thought could represent the sound of the song for me.
After that the edit just kinda stayed like that for a while. I ended up placing down all of the clips eventually and then, surprisingly enough, I was able to make all of the effects here in one day. The next day, all I had to do was add an outro and render, but OH bOy that went TERRIBLY. So I was able to add the outro fine and double checking for any things that I would like to fix went fine too, but, I encountered quite a few problems when I tried to render. For about 4 times, the render always crashed at around the 370 or so mark, and it gave me an error showing ''memory (x) referenced memory at (x). Memory could not be written'' or something along those lines. And after I got these, AE didn't let me maximize its window, and after AE exited out of itself, something out of place or strange happened to my laptop that shouldn't have happened the way it did. But okay my fave was def the moment when Steam opened for a literal second and showed nothing but the text ''oops'' and then closed lmao
After that I kind of deduced that AE wants to be the center of attention and wants me to keep its window open, and that I should also close my browser and eventually all of my other running programs. Had to reserve to just sitting on my phone then. I did make it past the 400 frame mark, and then it rendered for about an hour and a half before making a sheep sound and then showing me that it failed to render. I literally don't remember how many times something like this had to repeat but it was a mix of the 370 frame crash again and this same problem once again at least. I nearly made it to the very end of the video, just two clips before the outro, before it did the sheep sound again and showed me the most BIZZARE error I had seen that day, and I had absolutely no idea how to fix it. Basically it couldn't find like a cache file or smth, I don't know. I was irritated by then and I was feeling done with AE's shit by that point. But I still decided to try to render one more time and limit what I did on my laptop and check on the project's progress every now and then. Finally, after a little over 2 hours I think, the video finished rendering, at the expense of my internet going to shit and automatically dropping a skype call I was on with my best friend.
After it finished rendering, I was sick of the project to the point where I didn't want to bother doing any changes and just pushed it to the side. This video has actually been in my drafts now for 4 days bc I still wasn't feeling confident in this project and I didn't know if it was even worth uploading bc it feels so messy to me. However, after showing this to my girlfriend and hearing that she really likes it, I tried to at least have some confidence in this ^^''
All and all, despite all the difficulties with rendering, it was fun to at least try out some new plugins in this edit, and I feel like I've really come to like AE pixel sorter and Glitchify now ^^
Speaking of which! I was thinking of switching to AE CC 2019, but after opening it I realized that I'd have to move over some of my plugins, and there was also this brief video glitch in a project where it shouldn't have been, so I will leave this all to another time ^^''
Could potentially give AE a break for a while and go back to Vegas for now but we'll see XD''
And my thoughts on this project now are...Well, it's something, I suppose ^^
I hope that you all enjoy this edit and that you all have a very good day/night :3

Yaaallll! Im baaaacckk!! Goodness gracious, its been too long ;w;
And! Im returning with a longer edit this time, which is not only a remake of one of my older edits - Sonic - Miserable - but also a gift for my amazing girlfriend, @EnchantedNebula, on our anniversary! ^w^ And thiiiss particular remake was made because this was one of the first videos of mine that Enchi saw and through which she found me, and she had suggested remaking this about 2 years back, and now this project has finally seen the light of day, after being worked on for quite some time x3
To Katie:
By now you have already seen this video, and im very happy that you really liked iiiit!~ ^w^ And i had time, so i was able to tweak it as well ;3 And im happy you liked the other gifties i got you tooo!~ :D cant wait to receive the one u have planned for me ;D uwu
Honey, I wanna let you know that memories, even little ones, from me visiting you late last year still come into my mind on a nearly daily basis, and not a single day goes by that i dont think of you 💖x33
The joy and inner peace and happiness that i feel around your presence is so immense and pure, and i cherish every moment we get to spend together x33 As i mentioned to you, youre the most wonderful treasure, and you mean the world - the sky, and all of the stars combined - to me; youre the brightest sunshine of my days 💖💖 uwu Im extremely excited to continue our journey through life together, and may these following years continue to bring us happiness and bring us even closer together - i love you with all my heart! ❤️❤️❤️ cx lots of hugs and cuddles from me to you hehe :D 💖
About the video itself:
BOOIIIII while this was 2 years in the making, frankly, the actual time it took to edit this was much less - it did still end up being some weeks straight of editing :o
i didnt wanna reuse every clip, bc imo some clip choices of mine just dont make sense in the original - so i experimented with a new clip flow; re-set some clips in 2022, then uuuhh- didnt edit this for 2 years after that i think ;w; legit, i think i came back to this project in around march-april of this year and finished setting the clips, and then decided that i want this to be my gift to Enchi this year for our anniversary c: however, i was still struggling with the next thing after clips - the style, the look, the feel - everything else. had no clue what i wanted this to look like for the longest time ;w; eventually, it struck me that i could try to show the irony in the lyrics by making my effect choices ironic - mixing together unreadable text, randomly flying 3D/2D shapes and text, moving lines. It was pretty chaotic. As i got to editing, i quickly realized that my idea was a bit Too chaotic to remake and Still be Visually understandable. So i decided to minimize the amount of stuff i wanted, and went with mostly readable fonts, overlaying text with different sizes, colors and blend modes (that was so fun btw uwu) and some light 3D elements. I made nearly every spinny shape at 0:06 manually in Vegas, and lemme tell ya, it was CLUNKY, so i stopped trying that after that attempt and just made overlays in AE instead ;w;
Used a lot of the lighten blend mode here, which i dont use often! Cool transparency effects with that one c:
And by the time this was done and i was watching back the comparison, i thought my remake was lookin like one of those company de-brandings where they lost their personality and identity lool XD
The only not-so good part about editing this was that i was quite hung up on making it perfect in my own eyes, which tired me out so much. Eventually, i beat out perfectionism and i still feel happy with this video - it makes me even happier that Enchi likes it c:
Some fun facts about the original edit!
I actually tried to match the clips with the lyrics somewhat, or how i understood them! Used dramatic clips and tried to capture the irony in the lyrics too.
I originally edited the video, and lots of my other old uploads, in 4:3! But back then, i didnt think 4:3 videos wouldve gained much attention, so i re-rendered my videos and stretched them to 16:9 exclusively for Youtube back then, and then also added my watermark to them. I also had no clue what disable resample was, hence why theres ghosting on my older uploads ^^ But i think 4:3 videos get more appreciation nowadays c: So now yall get to see the video in its original quality and resolution!
That shall be all now!~ I hope you all enjoy this remake! :3
Oh and ill be back in just a moment, trust me XD
I hope you all have a wonderful day/night, and that something brings a smile to you today ^w^

So this edit is finished!! Took me a while to get to writing this up bc Ive been really busy, and unfortunately, I have quite the workload.
But Ill try to type something up for this, despite that~
So then, I basically nearly finished this in the same 24 hours in which I started/uploaded the wip?? I reeeally got into this project and really got into editing it!
Ill start by briefly talking about my song and character choice here. So I found this song a few months back and I basically instantly looked it up on spotify lol And I increasingly thought like I wanted to edit with the song, but I just didnt know what character to use! I wasnt vibing with anyone. But the other day, along with slowly getting back into YGO after remembering about thiefshipping due to one other song, it hit me - I could edit with MARIK! And then I was really excited and began putting this together, and slowly that lead to me uploading that wip ksadhdakj
I think this song is in Swahili, also?
Well, yes, I had lots of fun putting this together and trying to form a flow with the transitions. I wanted them to be bouncy! And as I was making this, I got the sudden idea of including art from the manga and so!! I took out one of my Yugioh manga volumes and scanned it for this edit!!~
In general I believe this edit is my first *finished* edit in which Ive edited with Marik, as well as edited with my own manga scans ^^ I do really like how crisp the quality of the scans is!
It was also loads of fun to edit with Marik too! I dont uuusually edit with him, so it was neat to find clips that focused on him~ But I had a hard time remembering episode counts at points (pretty much all episodes besides episode 97 ^^), so I needed to reeeally look through my episode screenshot collection.
I sort of got tired towards the end of the first loop and started mostly copying and pasting event attributes, but I did have an idea of changing up the loop, and changing the colors of it and whatnot ^^ I nearly rendered out the loop and was planning on adding that as the second loop (cant imagine that that would be too great on the quality), but then I got myself together and copied/pasted the adjustment layer keyframes and triiied to align them well enough, as well as copied and pasted/made a duplicate of all of the clips and moved them over, and as a result, I er??? Somehow the second loop feels more on-beat that the first?? XD
Oooh and I also wanted to ditch the white watermark on black background thing for this video, and instead add that scene at the start with the audio of what he says, and to make the outro more interesting I decided to add a manga scan ^^
Some of the twixtor, as I expected, became a bit unnoticeable bc of the effects, but what can ya do ^^
Well then!! I really hope that yall enjoy this video, and have a very great day/night!!~ c:
