I can't see the videos or image, but it sounds like you need to change the blades more often. For some reason or another, cutting foam with a standard blade dulls it VERY quickly. I made 1 insert with regular blades before I switched to using these ceramic blades.
With regular blades, you'll probably go through 5-6 blades per insert, if not more. For clean edges, I was changing blades every 6-8 cuts. With ceramic blades, I've made 4-5 inserts with just 1 blade and haven't even flipped it. Make multiple passes for each cut -- 1 to get through the top paper, 1 through the foam, and 1 through the bottom paper.
For cutting, use a regular utility knife with replacable blades. I find exacto knives to be too small and fiddly for big work like this. I very strongly recommend splurging and getting ceramic blades. Metal blades wear out very quickly, but I still haven't even dulled one side of a ceramic blade on all of these inserts.
In lieu of that, a breakable blade utilty knife is a decent option as well. Just be sure to break the blade often to keep it good and sharp.
These!
They last for multiple(10-15+) projects before going dull. Much more expensive than metal, but, in my opinion, absolutely worth it.
