I just saw this weird AR iPhone Filter and thought: how do I recreate this effects?

In head it's some sort of:

masking the hand > Echo > Turbulent displace> Vector blur > Colorama > Blend mode type magic..

But unfortunately that's not how it works. Maybe you guys can figure it out?

Still a work in progress. Would love to hear your thoughts and suggestions so far!

Instead of one layer repeated hundreds of times I have hundreds of unique layers I need this same effect applied to ^~^

Attempted to find something similar on aescripts and older posts but no luck yet.

The music track is clipping on the timeline (not just the export) in AE:

The levels are set at 0 in AE. When I reduce the levels, the waveform just gets shorter but still flat on top as if the problem is in the audio file, but opening that same file it Audition show it isn't clipped.
In Audition, after zooming out one click, it looks like this:

I tried exporting from Audition as a WAV file and it still comes into After Effects (and Premiere) as clipped. In AE,
I updated my video card driver and it didn’t help. My specs are Win 11 Pro 25H2 (26200.9711), i9-14900K, 192 GB RAM, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 SUPER.
Does anyone have any suggestions? Thank you!

When you see a title sequence, from a Vox transition, or edit that blows you away, what do you do next?

Curious what your real process looks like, and what's the most annoying part of it.

Made this motion design for Yaango. Would love some honest feedback and suggestions on what I could improve!

This has been bugging me for 2 days. I cant finish work because of this issue. Ive searched and tried multiple fixes, none worked.

After Effects 2026

So i switched to after effects 2025 and the preview is smooth but scrubbing is insanely laggy. I even have a video if anyone wants to see how it looks like.

I recently put together this product promo for Arpixa, an agency workspace I'm building.

I focused on the UI reveals, transitions, typography and making the software feel like a polished product rather than a generic screen recording.

I'd appreciate honest feedback, especially on the pacing, visual hierarchy and whether the product comes across clearly.

What would you improve first?
