I got this idea last night while looping the song and suddenly getting a vision of an intense, yet at the same time, gentle edit like this!
And very soon after that I had the thought... hey, what if I were to make the edit in *120 fps?* ksadhjsdajkhsa
Well, I did end up doing that! However, this is not the 120 fps version. What you see here is the updated and continued 60 fps version.
The reason I wanted to make it in 120 fps at first was to see how it would look on my 144hz monitor, since it should be able to show that range of fps, and I also wanted to try out ultra slow twixtor in this to see how smooth it could be.
I first started out with setting one base clip in Vegas along with the audio, then opened up AE to do twixtor bc twixtor in Vegas was giving me a hard time ^^''
And after AE crashing/freezing once, it finally worked again, and it was so satisfying to look at the result of the twixtor!! I slowed them down a lot, and went a little extreme with the first twixtored clip - it ended up being an entire 24 seconds long in its full length. But my intention was to play with the velocity in Vegas afterwards.
After everything had finished rendering and converting to mp4 there, I put them back into Vegas, but sadly, my laptop had trouble with the playback at points, which didn't give me much choice of adding overloaded effects, and so I didn't put much effort into this. The finished result of this test looked like this except, imagine, there are no extra clips at the start, no zoom in on Killua's hands, the text and overlays aren't as refined, and there was no blur on the text at the end, among other minor things.
Plus it was really hard to get motion blur in that version bc of the high fps.
Well then, after seeing the result of that this morning, it was very interesting to see how playback was perfect on my monitor, but actually choppy in select parts, on my laptop's 60hz screen.
I wanted to come back to this edit, I realized. I wanted to add more clips, clean up some effects, and add more effects. I knew from the start that I also wanted to add clips that could fit the lyrics at the start, before the ''drop'', but, once again, I was wasn't really able to bc of the playback lag. And my intention was that this song could be from the perspective of Killua, and the start reflects Killua's ''thoughts'' and who he is talking about, for those particular lyrics ^^
To be fair, I didn't exactly want this to loop, either. I wanted the second half to have other clips of Killua using Godspeed, but when making the original version and whatnot, I gave up bc I didn't wanna put the effort into more lag. I didn't really have the motivation to twixtor and add the clips the second time around, either. But I am content with this looping, as well.
And thus, this version came to be ^^ I'm feeling rather happy with it, even if it's quite simple.
And so, I hope that y'all enjoy this little thing ^^ :3
Decided not to upload the 120 fps version bc I'm not even sure if YouTube supports 120 fps in the video quality settings in general, plus I feel like the legit percentage of how many people generally have monitors with over 60hz refresh rates is rather low. Plus, it has comparably less going on in it than there is here.
Ah, I do want to mention that the shaky text was inspired by an editor on Insta who edited with this song and Killua as well, and I really thought this went together well with the sound of the song, so I opted to use something like this too ^^ Apologies, I can't remember the username of the editor at the moment! If I find the edit again sometime, I shall mention them here ^^

![[ Reminisce of childhood. ] { A distraction for myself }
Yesterday my mind simply started to force and shove bad thoughts into my head and I began to cry and simply feel very bad. This happened while I was finally editing another edit again, but I couldnt focus enough on that edit anymore as I felt like I hated what I was making. I looked up a tutorial for an effect that I wanted and I heard this song in the background of that tutorial. I quickly looked it up bc it sounded interesting, and I felt like this quickly became my current favorite song.
I also quickly began to get video ideas for an edit with this song, so, this was the result.
This isnt a vent edit, more of a simple distraction. Also since I didnt feel like the lyrics of the song, at the time, but more like the general sound of this song.
After finishing this edit, I didnt feel well again, and I felt like I was empty, just in a state of existing rather than feeling anything.
I would really like to say, tho, that I did begin to feel better later on, yesterday night, too, after I went on a spree of listening to active and happy music, hoping that it could help me feel better, which it did! After I think three or four songs, and some other things, I started smiling and feeling a bit happier again. This could also be a thing that I could try to do other times, and something that I might recommend yall to try if you feel the need to! I know it can be hard to listen to anything positive, and also positve music, when you simply dont feel like it, but Ive recently learned that it could help because your brain expects to see what it hears in the music, so it could try to generate the energy of the song into your emotions as well.
So today Im doing good again.
I wasnt sure if I wanted to upload this but now Ive decided to do so, since I have done a couple new-ish things in this edit, even if its very simple.
Also my main focus in this edit wasnt the effects but simply to put emotion into it.
And honestly I want to say that Im glad to be editing again after, what feels like, a very long time of not having the motivation to. Well see if Ill end up finishing any project soon or not ^^
I actually have mid-semester showcases happening rn, so, oof ^^
Speaking of not editing for a while, I was actually wondering what it would be like to get back into the feel of editing. At first it was a little uncomfortable to edit this bc things werent looking the way I wanted them to, but as I edited I finally got back into the zone of doing things and then I was able to do what I wanted.
Aaaand only as I began rendering I realized that I hadnt added my watermark, but I suppose that isnt a big problem here.
This also took 6 minutes and 34 seconds to render which is very good ^^
I also wanted to add lyrics for the start of the chorus but by the end of making this, I didnt have the energy to. I simply wanted to get this done and over with.
This wasnt the first thing I imagined that I would upload after this time, but maybe that edit will see the light of day sometime soon too ^^ Well just have to wait and see.
With all of this being said, I hope that yall enjoy this very simple, and honestly, emotional edit. And have a good day/night as well.

![{{ Blind edit }} [ No RAM previewing ]
This was a seriously random idea XD
This started when I was talking to BethTheFallen, and she wanted to say deaf edit at one point but she accidentally said blind edit and then I was struck with a catastrophe of an idea XD
My first thought was that I could cover my eyes by tying a scarf over them, and she could try to tell me where my cursor is on the screen, but since that Disaster went exactly Nowhere, I tried a form of a blind edit that she suggested - to make an edit but not watch it on the preview screen - basically, I wasnt allowed to RAM preview this and hear it with the audio, or hear any audio, and I could only use my arrow keys as a form of previewing. What made it difficult was that the waveforms for this song all seem so...similar, so it was kinda hard to tell whats what sometimes, and Im kinda annoyed that I did something off the beat near the end XD
Also yes, its this song again. Heavily inspired by my season 0 The Devil edit bc what is Effort XD Now that I think back to it, it wouldve been neat if I at least added the orange-yellowish color of Haous eyes into the isolated colors, but oh well. I had literally no other idea for what song to use, and I thought that this song is generally fun to edit with, so ye.
The overall idea of an edit with this song and Judai and Haou actually came to me about a month ago - but it was def meant to be a more professional edit than this. I also wanted to use that same clip and audio that I used here at the end, but it was meant for a different point in the song. The ending of it, to be precise.
There were points where I accidentally pressed the spacebar, and therefore I heard the little part at 0:08, but oh well. At least then I knew that it was on the beat XD
Speaking of beats, this result feels interesting, but very wrong to me??? Everything feels misplaced, oml XD
The only thing that I knew was gonna be the way it was was the start - I knew that that part was gonna have those lyrics, so thats the only one I added lyrics _to._
I didnt even try with the flickers. I only added one.
I was pretty surprised when I finally RAM previewed this after I felt like I was done. First of all I was surprised that my laptop was able to preview the whole video at once without me needing to cut the watching into little pieces. But I really felt like there were missed opportunities here XD
I did a little cheating, maybe, at the end, bc I changed the position of the anime audio and the fades a little, but I didnt touch the actual clips.
This whole thing was like a deaf edit except I knew what song I was using and I wasnt able to play the thing lol
Aaaalright, guess thats all!
Hope yall enjoy this, and have a great day/night c:

This is a thingy that I made for my girlfriend, ShatteredFantasy, and I want to dedicate it to her! x3 I showed it to her for our 2 year anniversary! cx

There was a video that I wanted to make for our anniversary, specifically, but it ended up being very long, and I didnt have enough motivation to get anywhere with it, so I simply showed Katie the song that I wanted to use ^^
So yesh! :3 I wanted this video to be soft and simple x3
Also, while editing, I tried my best to make it look like they were interacting with each other :3
Aaaand, while editing, at points I was thinking like: Maybe, in this video, I could be Tifa, and Katie could be Aerith XD x3
So yesh! Thats about all I wanted to say here! x3
To Katie:
Eeeeeee happy anniversary again, sweetie! x3 I hope that we both have a wonderful day here x3
I would like to say that I love you with all my heart, and that you mean the world to me! cx Your presence fills me with so much happiness and I appreciate and love u very very very much!! x33 Being around you makes me feel safe and happy, and I really couldnt ask for a better soulmate ❤️
