Yeh, the first one is much nicer now. The culprit was the phasing-jittering effects at 0:44 - 0:51. It's a nice edit overall but it's a little basic I say. Simplicity is a good thing - it creates a niche and aesthetically pleasing look and something agreeable. But basic is a little boring - sure it's agreeable but it's common to the point that it's been milked of it's uniqueness and now dry. The basic part being the whole premise of the edit - the crown on top of her head edit - that the cartoony crown + the obvious 'song says crown so put crown on her' type feature is slightly uncharming and takes away little from the edit.
What I didn't expect was how good the second one looks without compression. The vibrance/exposure part is actually diminished and not really a problem (unless unnecessarily nitpicked). Thanks for the treat anon - I wasn't expecting that much of a change but it blew my expectations away.
If only VP9 support was a thing on 4chan + a slightly higher file size limit (12MB can make 2 - 3 minute edits look watchable).
