When people think of South Carolina, they picture Charleston, Myrtle Beach, and Hilton Head waterfront. Fair, but that's a tiny slice of the state, and one not everyone can afford.
My latest editing project digs into the other South Carolina: seven inland and Piedmont towns where homeownership is within reach. It crunches housing, utilities, transportation, crime data, and local job markets to find the spots that deliver value beyond the lowest sticker price.
I built a custom Time Machine effect that transforms the same morning across 1905, 2026, and 2080
I wanted to show how our surroundings and technology may change over time while the small human rituals we carry with us remain familiar
Using invideo Editor’s timeline agent, I created a custom shader with an editable Year control: aged film grain and sepia for 1905, a clean natural look for 2026, and cyan holographic scanlines for 2080
The agent also built the bar transitions between eras directly on the timeline. I refined the timing, adjusted the shader controls, and fixed the closing titles inside invideo Editor
The first video is the final result. The second shows the process, from importing the clips and directing the agent to testing the Year control
🚀 Created realistic AI-generated UGC videos for PactFresh, blending product-focused storytelling with authentic visuals to create engaging marketing content.
The specific mention of Higgsfield is interesting because it is not the standard tool most people assume for this workflow. Curious how you balanced the product accuracy against the natural movement in those frames to keep the UGC feel authentic.
