I thought I had found the perfect effect, where the colors of the video blurred together, but then I realized I could not use it because it was only available to CapCut subscribers. So, I instead used a filter called "edge glow," which still gave the scene that warped aesthetic.      The next thing I did was use a fade out filter at d...
