Funny Guilty of imitation!

That sounds cool.

If you do it right, it looks like the TV flashes onto the video and then the video zooms in, all pretty seamlessly. I like the effect, and may use it in the future if needed.

Yep just look for a 'screen replacement' tutorial for whatever editing program you use.

LOL, that would've been a good idea when I was coming up with the effect. I just sort of threw it together in a learn-as-you-go moment, like most of my effects.

I just watched a video on YT earlier today that showed how to do drop shadows in Resolve... it takes literally 5 seconds. I had been doing it in a manner that took upwards of 5 minutes, got that down to about 1-2 minutes, and this blows THAT out of the water. SMH.

Yeah, except the way I find to do something... well, it may just be a time-suck compared to other ways.

Take the "Master Bins" in Resole, for instance. I've been wasting my time importing watermarks, intro vids, etc., when I could've just thrown them in the MB and dragged them onto any project I'm working on. Oops.

You've not been wasting your time you've been learning things which sometimes ARE necessary. Time spent learning is never wasted, though learning better ways is good too , naturally.
