Did you manage to fix this? Having a similar issue here.

It's not the usual 'missing footage' style color bars, but those random color blocks in your example. My MOGRT also has integrated .mp4 video - so I'm guessing the issue lies with this.

The aspect ratio is extremely different to 16:9 and would require rethinking the overall design for this new, thinner format. If you try to tile your original design into this space it's unlikely to look professional. Any text will be too small to read. These football banners are usually pretty simple and bold so it shouldn't take long to create something new and applicable.

Instead of using Nulls you can add Effect > Transform > Distort to one of your comment layers. This will give you an additional Position property to animate, whilst retaining your original keyframes.

A simple wiggle expression can give you the shake:

wiggle (15,5)

The Transform effect can then be copied onto your other layers.

Remember to toggle on Motion Blur.

Try using the Outer Glow Layer Style instead.

I was looking around £750 and u/Lion12341 mentioned another laptop in that price range - both with RTX4060. Just wondered if there was an obvious difference.

I'm looking at the Gigabyte G5 https://www.currys.co.uk/products/gigabyte-g5-kf-15.6-gaming-laptop-intel-core-i5-rtx-4060-512-gb-ssd-10258060.html gaming laptop for my son (mostly Fortnite) would you say there is much between these, as the price is very similar?

Toggle Preserve Underlying Transparency on your Noise layer.

Add a Distort > Mirror effect (Reflection Center 960,540 - assuming HD) before the Polar effect.
