No, "This makes me exciting" is not a correct sentence.
① "This makes me exciting" is incorrect because "exciting" is an adjective that describes something that causes excitement or interest, not a verb that describes the feeling of excitement.
② "This makes me excited" is a correct sentence. "Excited" is an adjective that describes the feeling of excitement or enthusiasm, and the verb "makes" is used to indicate that the speaker is experiencing this feeling as a result of something.
In other words, the difference between the two sentences is that ① is using an adjective to describe the feeling, while ② is using a verb to indicate that the feeling is being caused.

Thank you so much!
Oh, sorry, this is the sentence.
I made a mistake!
This makes me feel amazing.
Is the sentence OK?
I saw a man speaking in the video.

@sunflower888 "This makes me feel amazed" in Japanese is "これは私を驚かせます" which express the feeling of surprise or being impressed by something.
On the other hand, "This makes me feel amazing" in Japanese is "これは私を素晴らしい気分にさせます" which express the feeling of being in a great mood or feeling wonderful because of something.
The difference between the two sentences is that "amazed" expresses a feeling of surprise or being impressed, while "amazing" expresses a feeling of being in a great mood or feeling wonderful.

I see!
The key is the "feel". Am I right?
We can say the same way like
It makes me feel exciting/excited.
Now I can understand now.

①「これは私をワクワクさせる」は間違いです。「ワクワク」は形容詞で、興奮や興味を引き起こすものを描写するものであり、感情を表す動詞ではありません。
②「これは私を興奮させる」は正しい文です。「興奮」は形容詞で、興奮や熱狂の感情を描写し、動詞「させる」は、この感情が何かによって経験されていることを示しています。
