Two rivals. One finish line.
RUN IT BACK is a cinematic sports spec ad made entirely in invideo: footage, editing, effects, sound effects, and music. One platform, start to finish.
THE STORY
Same dream. Same track. Different colors.
Two sprinters, one in Nike and one in Under Armour, have been racing side by side since they were kids. Tonight, on an empty track, they meet one more time. No crowd. No cameras. Just two heartbeats. The camera plunges into the hero's eye, and the years rewind to a kid who was running long before anyone was watching. Then the race detonates. Every stride tears loose another memory, faster and louder, until the finish line is all that's left. The screen never shows who wins. Because the win was never the point. There is only a handshake between two rivals and two brands, and one promise: "See you at the next start line."
HOW IT WAS MADE: ALL IN INVIDEO
Footage: every shot was generated in invideo with the Seedance video model, including the running-shoe product shots.
Editing: the entire edit was built in the invideo Editor with help from the AI agent, using frame-precise effects and transitions inspired by popular cinematic editing techniques.
Sound effects: every impact, whoosh, glitch, camera-shutter click, heartbeat, and footstep was created and synced in invideo.
Music: a hybrid orchestral-trap anthem and an emotional piano track, both generated in invideo.
20 EFFECTS & TRANSITIONS
Title animation • Kinetic-typography brand intro • 3×3 grid flash • Cinematic push-in • Slice glitch • Zoom through the pupil • Memory letterbox • Memory film texture • White-flash cut • Pixel shatter • Double vision • Camera shake • Shutter-drag product showcase • Whip-blur montage • Whip pan • Slow-shutter echo with selective color • Memory-flash montage • Finish-line glitch • Gear-flash montage • Brand-lockup end card
WHY INVIDEO IS SO WORTH IT
Footage, editing, VFX, sound design, and music, all in one place. Work that normally takes a production crew and several software subscriptions can be done by a small team on a single platform. For brand films, product launches, UGC, social content, and ads, invideo delivers professional-grade results faster and at a fraction of the cost.
Created by Korsa Agency as a spec ad for the invideo Editor Challenge on Contra. Not affiliated with Nike or Under Armour.
The cinematic visuals and compelling storytelling make this feel like a high-end sports campaign, truly impressive execution! 👏
Thanks!

i decided to test Agent Two more on @Invideo, by working on another effect (Stepped 4-bar reveal),. and video (my 2nd Submission)
(p;s, please pay attention to the way i applied the Stepped 4-bar reveal effects, Zoom punches effects, Camera shake, Motion blur, RGB split, etc.)
this time i had a song i loved in mind,.. and i wanted to create something around it, something that really resonates with the song very well,.. something that i could build and apply more than 5+ different effects on.
so i decided to create a Lionel Messi edit,.. Why?,.. because it fits the situation around him and the World (He's National Football Retirement)
so i wanted to use the opportunity to compile clips of Lionel Messi, and build effects that would make the Final Video like beautiful,..
😍having people belike; "what platform made that Video?"
and
😍also belike; "If an agent can build this for me, why am I still spending hours doing it manually?"
also, you will notice the SFX Sounds my agent added when the Stepped Bar effect comes alive, you can hear the sound as the Bar lands.
tell me what you think about it
N/B: Agent Two, created everything about this video,.. the only thing i did was upload the clips, trim each clips, and added the background song
👉my process walkthrough video is in the comment section
and this is my process video, to see how i built my effects, and everything
I agree with this 🤝
Manual work is always better than ai slop you can use ai for some clips but full video made with ai is unprofessional and a waste of money and resources
no ai works way better then manual but if you know how use ai
Happy to share my submission for the InVideo Challenge! 🚀✨
For this video, I created a visual effect I call “Inverted Flash” ⚡️ — a vertical inverted flash bar that quickly sweeps across the screen as it transitions into the next clip.
The entire effect was created using the InVideo AI Editing Agent (Agent Two) 🤖🎬
I had a lot of fun experimenting with the agent and pushing it to create something that feels unique, fast, and visually satisfying. 🔥
Hope you all like it! ❤️ Would love to hear what you think! 👀
This is dope
