How do you get the crazy text effects in your editing software? I've been trying and I can't make it look quite as good as in your videos.
try this: try doing whatever simple operations you might do, and then export it as a video and re-import it again. then operate on that. this might be the key to getting that additional level of subtlety you crave, and may bring you one step closer into the 'how did they do that' realm
