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 used typography, geometric transitions, and visual rhythm to turn my own footage into a short, art-directed personal introduction, then added the X-ray effect on one frame so that it doesn't look too much.
The interesting part isn't just the final result. It's being able to describe a creative idea, see the agent build it, and then direct the next iteration and it gets it.

Creative process
I started with original footage of myself and directed the invideo Editor timeline agent to build the effect around my creative vision wich was a motion design type video introducing myself and using the X-ray effect. I then reviewed the generated result, refined...

CRAZY MAN
A clip with no beginning and no end, no backstories and no context.
In a crazy guy's crazy world, this clip revolves around primarily a MINIMALIST effect with added touches of DISTORTION and SLICE SHIFT (barely).
Here's the link to the invideo editor timeline:- https://invideo.io/share/CRAZY-MAN-y4EvDkuqMnh
I used Seedance 2.5 to get me a clip that suited my vision , simple prompt based clip further rendered in 4k afterwards in the editor. I went on to work on it in the timeline where my personal agent Kelex Blu helped out. I did not add in the minimalist effect initially so he helped me place exactly that in the beginning, fed in suggestions for color grading and refinement and smartly explained what he saw and suggested what would work best. Smart guy !
Woww
I turned plain AI-generated pit lane footage into a glowing light-trail launch, and I never touched a single keyframe by hand.
Here's the whole process:
I generated 10 cinematic clips of a pit crew, a driver, and a race: walk-in, wheel change, headset on, cockpit, launch, overtake, final lap, finish line.
I dropped them into invideo Editor and asked the timeline agent to build the full sequence, cuts, music, and sound.
Then I described the effect I wanted: bright highlights stretching into directional light trails on the launch and final lap.
The agent built it as a custom shader on the editable timeline.
I tuned the [trail length, direction, threshold, and mix] until it felt right.
The agent handled the effect building. I directed it and decided how it should look. The whole project is a real timeline you can open and edit, linked below.
