3 tools I use for video editing
I don’t use the same tool for every project. The type of video, editing style, and turnaround time usually determine which tool I reach for.
Premiere Pro, for the main edit, audio, color, and storytelling.
After Effects, when the project needs motion graphics, animations, or visual effects.
CapCut for quick social media edits, captions, and short-form content.
Using the right tool for the right part of the workflow helps me edit faster without compromising quality.
CapCut for the quick social edits and Premiere for the full storytelling pass is basically my own split too. Where does After Effects earn its keep for you though, mostly client requests for motion graphics, or do you reach for it on your own even when Premiere alone would technically get the job done?

A promotional video for MerchantSpring - an analytics platform built for e-commerce agencies.
The client initially reached out for a consultation. We discussed the product, its goals, and how the video could be used in marketing. Based on that, we structured the concept and moved into storyboard development, followed by full animation production.
The video was created as a promotional asset, focusing on clearly presenting the product’s value and showcasing its AI-powered capabilities through clean, modern motion design.
awesome!

I created this motion design project for Cangioli 1859, focusing on communicating sustainability and environmental awareness through a dynamic visual language. The project combines 2D animation, graphic design and storytelling to transform complex concepts into clear and engaging visual content, using bold compositions and fluid motion to support the narrative.
wow, the color duo here staying simple & clean without feeling too industrial ups the friendly feeling behind cangioli 1859 so well! the swapping typography cards are lovely, as are those little details (the type filling up on the rain stat is a favorite).
