Complete failure on the user experience for the #invideocontrachallenge. I submitted my workspace ID days ago, only to be met with total silence, followed by AI auto-replies from InVideo support telling me to just "buy the Max plan" myself.
You dangled an $11K prize pool to get small creators to join, but you aren't even giving us the basic AI tools promised in your guidelines to complete the brief. Talent isn't measured by follower count, but right now, it feels like only the ultra-well-known profiles are getting access. Someone from the community team needs to act like a human, check your support inbox, and manually fix my account before October 12. 🪵✨

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
Product marketing has just become easier
Apply that human manual work and a pinch of ai( the trick up the sleeve).
BEYOND THE FRAME 🎩✨
Three peculiar stories. One wonderfully distorted reality.
A suspiciously curious cat, an eccentric family with secrets dating back to 1892, and a collection of memories coming together to tell their own STORY.
For this project, I combined surreal AI-generated visuals with manually edited camera shakes, white flashes, music synchronisation and carefully timed transitions using the InVideo Editor.
Halfway through, my AI credits ran out — so I completed the remaining effects manually.
Apparently, even artificial intelligence has a budget. 😉

I wanted to test whether Invideo Editor’s AI timeline agent could replace hours of manual node compositing in After Effects to create a cinema-grade VFX shot from raw mobile footage.
How I built it:
The Footage: Raw 4K 60fps night plate of NYC with neon signs, streetlamps, and a wet puddle reflection.
Agent Direction: Using a prism refraction photo as a reference, I directed the agent in Ultra Mode to author a single custom shader that extracts luminance highlights, stretches them into 55° upward trails, and applies a spectral RGB dispersion gradient across the edges. It also layered a Screen composite and generated a procedural cyberpunk HUD tracking overlay.
Human Refinements: I manually used the exposed Inspector sliders to fine-tune the Highlight Threshold to 0.68 (isolating the Radio City marquee, streetlamps, and puddle reflection while eliminating building clutter) and dialed the Trail Length to 140 with an exponential falloff taper.
