An effect can look right in one frame and still behave differently in motion. Here is the workflow I use to move Unity VFX into Cocos Creator for the browser.

Start with one effect. If the comparison shows a mismatch, fix it and replay the same case.

Check the behaviour in Cocos: blending, simulation space and timing can change the result.

Align the camera and playback clock. Use differences to guide frame review, then check browser performance and input separately.

A low average difference can hide a short missing flash. Inspect motion, bursts and trails, and check warnings for empty or frozen captures.

AI-assisted tools help with inspection and repetitive conversion. Repeatable captures make the result reviewable.

Which part should the next visual guide unpack: materials, timing or trails?
