FLASH WARNING. i forgot to put that at the start of the video, sorry about that!
Finally completed another thingy. I started this back in september, and my inspiration was quite spontaneous and intense. I knew i wanted to use this song and try out my, at the time, newly-upscaled and interpolated footage. I found this song when it was relatively new too, but let's not support the first artist.
The first things i slapped down were the sections at 0:13 - 0:15 in like 3 hours, and i eventually, the next couple days, found myself sinking into a very fascinating clip flow. My intention was for the clips and effects to flow like deep breaths, but the shaky kind you have when you feel anxious, if that makes sense. Plus, interpolation helped in making the clips feel more flowy and smooth. From there, i wanted to play around with how i could connect each clip to one another and create potentially more and more creative effects that feel dusty, staticy, like they're playing off a pixelated, overly bright LED screen. (i edited this based off vibes alone, as we can see lol)
And honestly, that's how i would describe most of the experience. Sinking into some particular kind of realm and vibe, and trying my best to capture it even weeks or months after taking a break. Some attempts worked better than others.
Like- okay, let's talk about the worst offender of this whole project real quick to get it out of the way - the DIAMOND MASK. please- i- i hated the experience of making it XD I only made one tiny thing in AE, which was the saber outline overlay for the diamond mask - the rest was all done in Vegas. I underestimated the difficulty of moving around a diamond mask and transition syncing, all while waiting for Vegas to RAM preview 0,001 frames per second- It was too tedious. I sat there for maybe nearly a full evening trying to piece together the timing and positioning of the moving mask, and then the static mask with slides - i kept messing up the timing especially. The effect is cool and all, but i'm not sure if it was worth so much work.
Alrighty? We got that out of the way, now onto better things XD It was loads of fun bending together the s_wave effects plus ''quick pixelator'', and i love the result of the ghost zoomed clips. For anyone who is interested - i zoomed in one layer, set it to screen, pixelated that one (animated the vertical and/or horizontal pixelation separately), while i blurred the layer below, maybe with a touch of tv simulator. Mega pretty effect imo. A couple more awesome effects to mention - Ignite Noise (FINALLY a noise effect that DOESN'T pixelate the edit completely), and mixing together the two Ignite Action Camera effects! Super neat and moody effects c: Oh! And the flickering text was lots of fun to make ^w^
I pretty much moved on a basis of finishing one section before moving onto another, editing the parts on the timeline in a mixed order.
(the first two types of little transitions i used in the chorus here are a call-back to the edit that i first heard this song in - if you know what edit i'm talking about, you are either very cultured, or you have seen things XD)
Aaaand ye! Pretty dang happy with the result of this one overall c:
And according to my file explorer, this is the first edit i've made that features Only Shadow :o as i should - he's a great character ^w^
~
ah yea! First of all - happy new year, everyone! π i don't think i mentioned too much of what my 2023 was like in my previous upload or the one before, so i shall briefly talk about it, for those who are curious~
hmmm! i had some pretty bad mental health at the start of the year, kindaa the worst it had been in a long time. was feeling really bad about my uni and my future, but around summer, i had a revelation and started to feel better, plus got on a creative grind which i loved. i had a super fun and productive summer, dropped out of my uni and entered a new one that suits me better, plus went on a SUPER fun family trip. I was vibing and feeling great around september and october, but then all of a sudden, i lost all of my motivation and will to do things again in november. December was stress central with all of my uni work that i HAD to finish up before my trip to Australia, but!! December was awesome in large part bc of my birthday and my trip to Australia, and meeting my girlfriend π cx I'm gonna keep my 2024 hopes in my own head, but i hope you all have had a safe start to the new year π
and with that, i hope y'all enjoy this edit, and have a great day/night! Stay hydrated and get some rest if you need to π

![Another low effort thing [ pc test ]](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/iCTS49vDdg4/mqdefault.jpg "Another low effort thing [ pc test ]
Oof! I decided to take a break from posting (as in, making things public) until i had more time and energy, as i was busy these months, but now i have both of those things again, so im back again :3 And time to post this! I have a couple of videos (or quite a few videos?) in my drafts and i shall publish them periodically. I still need to write a description for some, and others - i just need to make public. And this particular description, i had written previously ^^ This is the first proper edit I made on my pc when I got it a few months back and below you will be able to read my thoughts on this at the time.
~
So uh, I wanted this video to be a confusing experience to watch bc my feelings, and later my editing/rendering process with the video, really was a confusing experience XD
Ive been very vaguely wanting to try video editing on this pc for a while, but ive had zero inspiration, time, motivation, or ideas for songs, and so I picked this one bc it was all i had in mind, and i realized that i reeeaaaaalllyyyy didnt want to think about clips and how much they fit the lyrics, i just wanted to slap effects together, and so, ta-da, low effort edit ^^
I recently got that new pc, and its quite a lot more powerful than my laptop was, however I had some stress and small issues with the temperatures of the pc before I understood one thing about a component. Generally Im really enjoying my experience with it now that Ive been put at ease. However this time around, I think the temperatures made things get a bit worse, or just simply, rendering this wasnt pleasant whatsoever.
the editing process was fast and flawless. the render process?... not so much XD
My pcs cpu temperatures got very high, and they were high basically the whole time, it was slow, there were issues with it stopping during rendering, and it was a stressful experience, would not recommend XD
(maybe getting a new cpu cooler sometime would be a good idea, who knows~ XD)
I honestly dont even really care about the result of the video anymore or the little imperfections, im just glad this is rendered out XD
Had to render this at least 5 times, and it all suuuuccckeeedd XD Im really glad that I didnt decide to loop this any more times than I already did XD
Never minding that stuff though, the actual editing process was really good!! It was really speedy and snappy, no lag during usage, and the ram playback was great. The machine also stayed pretty quiet a lot of the time.
Though, i added the im tired at the start bc Ive just generally been very tired, physically, and mentally, bc of school mostly. And editing this made me tired too XD I wanted to add hxh too, in the loop, bc I wanted the effects to loop at first, not the whole thing, but uh, look where a lack of energy got me owo
I wanna get used to using Vegas Pro 18, so I used that to make this ^^ I got into it and getting used to the program for this video p much gave me no trouble at all :3
I decided to try the black bar effects again here, and i dont use them much bc i dont really like how i do them, buuut, i suppose they added some uniqueness to this video, a little ^^
Accidentally forgot to add a change in a keyframe on the bars juuust before the loop, but to heck with it XD this wasnt supposed to be a full effort edit ^^
Also forgot to copy most of the overlays into the loops, but oh well XD
I suppose that is all i wanted to say owo i hope yall enjoy this and have a very good day/night ^^

Please watch in HD if you can! :3
So this is... a plot twist edit XD
So Ill start off by saying that my girlfriend recently introduced me to Bleach and Ive started watching it as well, and Im really liking the anime!! x3 Im on episode 34 now :3
And thiiis here was the result of me realizing that this song could fit both Byakuya from Danganronpa _and_ Uryuu from Bleach, in a way, so then I figured, why not try to remake my Sweatpants edit of Byakuya? ^^
These two are both some of our faves in their respective series, as well x3
Originally I wanted to edit the audio myself, but after failing to get it the way I wanted it to, I just decided to push this project aside and forget about it ^^ That is, until I found this here edit of it on Soundcloud the other day, and even if this audio isnt like what I had in mind, it still seemed like it could be the next best thing ^^
From there, I opened up Vegas and started setting the Danganronpa clips while I waited for the new Bleach clips I was downloading, to finish downloading, and then eventually for the episode screenshots to finish being taken, so I can remember what happened in the episodes better. First I wanted to remake everything about the original for the start, such as the coloring and the effects I did. But after trying to do the vertical shake again, I realized that it doesnt look the way I want it to, nor the way it did originally. Fortunately, I still have this edits project file saved for reference purposes, and when I opened it again I was able to see that?? I did the shake completely differently back then XD Upon seeing it I was like oh thats an oldie bc it looked the way I used to my spins, back when I still frequently used those lol
Then I literally took and copied and pasted the effects from the project into the Byakuya part here, and tweaked it a bit XD But what I did end up remaking there was the coloring, bc I wanted something a tinge different now ^^ However! For Uryuus part I remade and changed the effects, and at certain parts, simply fixed what I would now like to change in my original video, such as making some pieces of text more dynamic, or extending them ^^ I did want to keep it similar, but still add differences here and there. This time I added in horizontal shakes alongside the vertical ones, sooome more glitchy effects. I also added AE into the mix for the watch a hater text ^^ Aaand I also made some text pieces in the opposite style of how they were in the original ^^
This isnt reeeeally a remake, bc a remake would be if I wouldve used the same material but simply approved upon its usage, thats why I was contemplating adding a ? in the title after remake, but, well, I do suppose I have improved upon certain effects from the original? ^^
To be honest, some text pieces were improved upon like this: I just copied and pasted what was in the original, bc I didnt wanna remake it all over again, and then I fixed what I wanted there. A very apparent example of that is the text for the (know) Japanese part ^^
Welp, in any case, it was fun to look back at this video and try to do some effects like this again, namely the spins ^^
Personally, hmm... I think that this edit is quite good ^^ Not my best work, but its alright ^^
Oh and if anything, I added a liiittle shadow of Uryuu on the right side of this videos thumbnail :3
I would also like to dedicate this video to my girlfriend!! x33
Alrighty, I hope you all enjoy this little remake, and have a good day/night as well! c:

ITS FINALLY FINISHED. GLORY DAY!
Lemme set the scene for yall: its late July, my girlfriend had mentioned at some point earlier in the year that we could make this Doctor Online GMV of hers a collab, and then the day came. The project was intimidating, but i was willing to do it justice and do my best. She gave me the clips that she had set in 2022 for this (in an hour or a couple, nonetheless holy crap thats amazing owo) and id do the rest (and add some of my own clips along the way!)
Early on, i decided that i want to Physically Study older editing styles - I was particularly inspired by SonicStorm12 while editing, but also mixed in some inspiration from other editors and just my own ideas too, as i wanted to do my own take on dark style while also paying tribute to the style of the olden days, as this video was supposed to be one that is purely 2013 vibes, right down to the fact that only older Sonic cutscenes and clips are used. (if any of you would like, feel free to comment on this video as if its still 2013 - that was one of Enchis ideas ^^)
Next picture this: Im working with two computers at the same time - my main pc for the project, and a separate vegas project file with references and the preview screen made Huge on my laptop next to me - going frame by frame, writing notes in markers about what effects i notice and so on. Sometimes a coffee or tea mug beside me, to drink from ^^
I worked on this rather tirelessly for multiple hours for multiple days, editing it more than i wasnt. A whole bunch of August was spent editing this, and even then, i only finished up until the start of the 2nd verse.
Next up was september, with a new uni year and some unexpected health issues along the way, some which left me decommissioned for a day or two from pain - i simply couldnt edit this, not to mention needing to keep up with uni homework and starting a planner. Overall september left me suddenly a bit more busy than expected, but i still needed to finish this!! I knew i could and i needed to!!
That result in making my sleep schedule EVEN WORSE to get this out- ;w; But i managed to get it done by 1:30 AM on the 1st for me! Id say even with that extra hour, our finishing goal was pretty much completed ^^ NEXT CAME RENDERING.
AAAAA Fellas, folks, I had to render this video 3 times for it to succeed on the 3rd time - but each render time was anywhere from 17-22 HOURS LONG ;W; Yall, i wouldnt say i have a bad pc, its specs are good, BUT THIS VIDEO pushed my pc to its limit, and frankly, this might be my pcs magnum opus - maybe mine too - but definitely my pcs in terms of pushing through, and i hope i never have to render smth for this long again on this pc, not in the foreseeable future anyways. It was genuinely stressful rendering this at one point, and at the same time uploading the project file with all of the clips so my girlfriend can download and render just in case - having smth else on screen for too long made my browser reload, and doing Anything too intensive or using multiple programs at once would cause Vegas to combust and crash - 12 hours into rendering, no less!!! When this one was 18 hours into rendering, i had to treat it like a little baby in terms of protection dskjsa
Thankfully i have a laptop, which i was able to use for other things while my pc was struggling in the background. This render finished at 5:06 AM today, 22 hours and 50 minutes of render time here, folks!!
NEVERTHELESS! Im thankful I have been able to work on this project together with Enchi - she was a massive help with feedback and tips to make things look clean and max 2000s. I couldnt have done it without you, my love! x33 π and through our group effort and belief, this project is finally done!
And! Im proud of our result! We have worked hard for a long time, and i really hope you all enjoy watching!! c: While there were struggles making this, there absolutely was enjoyment too, and i hope this creative joy is able to show itself in the video as you watch ^^ To some folks ive told about this video before it was done and showed previews - thank you for your support in the creation process!
(btw you can try watching in 360p for the true viewing experience πͺ)
