I directed the look. An AI editing agent built the effect. ✨ Meet “Hallucination” A clean cinematic sequence transformed with RGB distortion, glowing highlights, shifting colors, and layered text. I described the effect in invideo Editor, reviewed the result, and refined the look and text timing.

Best scene effect: not really sure about what it is called as but the Agent described it as: One thermal colour flash and a ripple across his face, colour that cycles through thermal palettes and snaps on the beat, liquid warp that melts faces.

Effect: Bar reveal.

Starting footage: a latte art pour clip from a free-licence stock site (pexels.com). I asked the invideo timeline agent to build a bar reveal with 8 espresso-brown bars that slide away to uncover the pour, then asked for two cream bars like milk streaks, and then a reveal that finishes by 1.5 seconds with a slow push-in. I refined the zoom and position myself in the Inspector. invideo Editor is free to try.

8 bars feels like the sweet spot here, any more and the pour would get lost behind them. the cream streaks are a nice touch
