Fictional high-fashion campaign created as a cinematic AI ad concept, specifically designed for vertical 9:16 social media formats. I developed the visual direction, consistent model and styling, fashion imagery, motion, and final edit. The campaign combines photorealistic generative visuals with editorial pacing, subtle storytelling and fashion aesthetics. Created to demonstrate how brands can produce premium campaign content, visual concepts and social ads without a traditional photoshoot.

If you are a video editor, you NEED this!
I created this glow effect in just a few minutes, and the result looks amazing.
The glow is changing on every beat.
No complicated steps or spending hours manually editing. Just set up the effect, customize it to your style, and let the magic happen.
If you want to make your videos stand out with eye-catching glow effects, this is definitely worth trying!
In the video you will see the full process how to make it from START to RESULT.

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! 👏
Title: Echo — a place you can only hear 🔊
Primary effect: Bring your own effect: "Echo" 🌊

Process note:
🌑 Echo is a black screen where every sound sends a wave of light through the scene in real depth.
🎞️ Starting footage: one licensed stock clip of a temple corridor from invideo's stock library. The sound is original, synthesised for this piece. The voiceover is my own.
💬 What I asked for: a black screen where each ping lights the scene by distance, built from a depth map, with controls for each wave, afterglow, wave thickness, contour lines, outlines, colour and a final reveal.
🛠️ What was built: a depth map (Depth Anything Video), two "Echo" custom effects on the depth map (a Multiply layer for light and an Add layer for glow), an "Echo colour" effect on the footage, and keyframes for six waves and the reveal. The first build was done by Claude, connected to invideo Editor through invideo's MCP server.
🎚️ Refinement: I asked invideo's own agent (Agent Two Lite) in the editor to raise Afterglow from 0.14 to 0.3 on both Echo effects. It made the change on the timeline, and that conversation is shown in the video. I also tried a longer afterglow and a gold colour, both shown.
✅ All building and the final cut were done in invideo Editor.
Wow ✨
