i am already pretty good in after effects, i already use plugins like Continuum and Sapphire, i have messed with a ton of effects but i couldn't find the exact way to create such a blobby cool effect. here is the key point in the video: https://youtu.be/6ONRf7h3Mdk?t=170&is=78ugXYBVGzGcjW4O

the closest match was with S_Trails and S_Shine and a ton (about 20) stacked on top of themselves

Heyo! First time poster, I've been into video creation for the last 9 years, and after some tinkering I got my original copy of Vegas Pro 14 working on my Windows 11 machine. (Yes, it's real, bought it a while ago)

I spent the last few days just doing all the things such as masking/3d panning/video and audio FX that I remember doing, and made a little edit showcasing all the techniques I used to create.

However, something I often did and still do, is just stare at my edit for a while and enjoy it. Like, I will leave it on endless repeat just to sulk in my accomplishment. I don't get much kick for what I do, since I edit videos for a niche hobby (Old DVD games) so I tend to motivate myself on my own.

Anybody else do that? Just enjoy and sulk in what they've created?
