my submission
I've always wanted to try out the X-ray effect that's been trending so I decided to create a motion-design introduction that introduces me, Charles Ogada, as a Full-Stack AI Engineer, founder, and product builder. Rather than making a conventional talking-head introduction, I...

Neon - Cyberpunk Kinetic Highlight Trails
The Visual Aesthetic: Think Wong Kar-wai's Chungking Express mixed with Blade Runner 2049. Light sources—street lamps, neon signs, headlights, and glowing storefronts—leave soft, directional light streaks across the dark backdrop as the camera moves.
I started with five separate night-time clips and used invideo Editor's AI editing agent to transform them into one connected cinematic sequence. I wanted the bright practical lights in each shot to feel like they had a physical presence in the scene, leaving atmospheric trails as the camera and subjects moved.
The agent generated two versions of the effect, including an editable directional streak-and-glow approximation. I chose the editable version and set the source footage to 720p before generating the effect.
After seeing the initial result, I prompted the agent to make further changes, refining the highlight response, glow, intensity, and direction of the trails. I wanted the effect to feel less like a generic digital filter and more like photographic light persistence.
The final sequence gradually builds from subtle streaks into a stronger visual climax around the passing car and running shots, while keeping the original footage visible underneath.
Built and refined in invideo Editor using its AI editing agents.

Raw skate clip ➡️ Cyberpunk neon dream! 🛹✨
I asked the timeline agent to completely transform this scene:
🔥 Neon fire trails under the board
👖 Time-shifting pants (white, blue, green, black)
🟣 Glowing purple road lines
☀️ A massive yellow synthwave sun
The agent built the custom effects instantly, and I just refined the final timing in the editor. Why spend hours manually tracking when AI does it for you?
