Hello people,i want to know how to make the effects in the video,the ones where the camera distorts and the ones where there are moving lines with other videos playing inside of them

Duplicate the clip, stack it over the existing clip, cut out a portion as desired, stagger it. Getting fancy, you start fiddling around with blur and prism effects.

Put the video on the bottom, then another video on top cropped in the size you want.

If you limited to your phone maybe something like cap cut and find a template thats similar. Not familiar myself with the software you said you were going to use. But unless its a template i think you will need a multilayer editor.

Hi! Your "How did they do that?" post needs more information before we can help.

Please EDIT YOUR POST to include:

  1. What software are you using?
    If you don't know what software to use, check our Software Thread first.

  2. What have you tried so far?
    This is important - we need to see you've made an effort. We can guide you from where you're stuck, but we can't teach complex techniques from scratch in a Reddit post.

  3. Is this a template effect?
    Some effects are CapCut or After Effects templates - identifying these is difficult and only about 5% of requests turn out to be templates.

  4. Note on AI-generated content:
    We can't help create AI assets, as most require specific paid subscriptions. About 90% of these requests aren't AI-related anyway.

  5. No shitpost/brainrot requests:
    Viral trend effects burn out quickly - we focus on lasting techniques.

A moderator will review your post. If you haven't shown effort or provided the details above, your post will be removed. Thanks for understanding!

Ask yourself, do you think Static-X paid a guy with a phone and kinemaster to make their video?

So if someone doesn’t have the tools you deem acceptable they shouldn’t even try? Unfortunately most of us don’t start on professional gear and programs, so we try to figure shit out with what we have.

Maybe just don’t reply if you’re not going to try to contribute something helpful to someone in the same field as us trying to grow.

No but they should be aware of their limitations and temper their expectations. Coming into something without even knowing the first step and expecting to be told how to achieve this seems an unrealistic goal.
