My submission Nora's Bedtime lantern to book. I Started out with wonder for a challenge, that was a failure, so I took what I had created and re-directed. I used Envato to create the clips, then moved to Adobe Express for final video. Quite a journey.
Hey @Kecia O'Connor I love to see that you're participating in challenges. Just a heads up that for this challenge, you need to show how you used Envato. This could be a screen recording or screenshots added into your video. Feel free to resubmit a valid entry.
Hmmm ok, not sure how to show the clip creation. May need to do a separate clip. I used envato to generate the clips to create the video. Took some time and lots of credits. If I add to the video, it will need to be at the end. Not sure that flows. I'll make some adjustments.
Every edit starts the same way: a pile of raw clips and no story yet.
For the #svgatorchallenge, I built a product-style motion piece around that journey. Clips tumble in, snap onto the timeline, the playhead sweeps through, and the final cuts land as ready-to-post formats: Reels, Shorts and Long-form.
Cut. Polish. Deliver.
What I focused on:
Clean, product-video style motion with a premium feel
Staggered timing, so the eye always knows where to look
Stroke-draw check marks and soft ease-outs for the finishing touches
A warm paper palette with one orange accent
