Project Title: Trading Masterclass Promo: UI Motion Graphics & Kinetic Typography
Role: Lead Video Editor & Motion Graphics Artist
Deliverables: 1x 20-Second High-Retention Intro/Promo Video (16:9)
Tools Used: Adobe Premiere Pro, Adobe After Effects
Project Overview
The client required a highly engaging, visually dynamic promotional video to introduce a comprehensive, free masterclass on their trading system. The narrative focused on the creator "leaking everything," covering their core philosophy, psychology, trading strategy, journaling methods, and repeatable system. The creator also established credibility and vulnerability by discussing their five-year journey through financial losses and blown accounts before giving their final strategy away for free.
The primary goal of this edit was to elevate standard talking-head footage with premium UI animations and kinetic typography to visually map out the course's value and hook the audience immediately.
Key Responsibilities & Workflow
A-Roll Optimization: Edited the raw talking-head footage to ensure a fast, confident delivery that immediately engages the viewer and removes any dead air.
Custom UI Motion Graphics: Designed and tracked 3D-style glowing menu buttons to visually list the video's chapters, including "Core Philosophy," "My Psychology," and "My Strategy".
Data Visualization & Asset Creation: Built and animated custom financial UI pop-ups to visually represent the creator's past failures, including a "Disable Account" prompt and a realistic "Money Overview" dashboard displaying a total balance of $4,250.00 alongside a net loss of $660.00.
Kinetic Typography: Animated bold, color-coded text overlays emphasizing high-impact phrases like "leaking EVERYTHING," "FIVE YEARS of losses," and "GIVING IT ALL AWAY for free" to maintain visual pacing and cater to the YouTube/social media audience.
Call-to-Action (CTA) Animation: Created animated pill-shaped graphics for the final viewer instructions, visually prompting the audience to "Actually Sit Down," "Take Notes Carefully," and "Apply Everything" to maximize viewer investment.

A product can be powerful and still be difficult to understand.
For this concept, the product had a lot going on.
My job was to simplify it without making the product feel simple.
I focused on:
โ finding the core value
โ removing unnecessary information
โ creating a clear visual story
โ using motion to make the product instantly understandable
Here are 4 frames from the concept.
I make product, launch and feature videos for SaaS and AI companies โ turning complex products into simple, exciting stories.

Really inspiring work! ๐
typography animation for the word "WALK" with dynamic motion and vibrant neon gradient lighting (teal/purple). Subtle motion blur emphasizes the speed of the letter reveal.
Claude + After effects (Hereโs the exact 5 prompts, copy them) ๐งต
Prompt 0: Setup
Approach: Computer Use - from now, henceforth.
Setup: After Effects is open on Screen 2.
Goal: Configure the project and create 4 working comps, named Scene 1 through Scene 4, before anything is built. All 4 comps use the settings below.
Project settings:
Color depth: 16 bpc
Linear blending on Comp settings:
Resolution: 2880x1620, square pixels
Frame rate: 30fps
Background: warm Don't ask any questions. Build.
Prompt 1: Plan the radial scene
Setup: Same project and comp. Plexus installed. Reference: Sketch
(see first comment for the sketch btw).
Goal: A radial plexus matching the sketch. All vertices start at a single centre point and spread outward in 3D. Lines grow from the centre to each endpoint. Each endpoint carries a different image. Camera with depth of field.
Reading the sketch:
The circle is the origin. Every line starts there, none connect to each other.
Line lengths and angles vary on purpose. Keep that irregularity, don't make it a perfect starburst.
The sketch is 2D, but the build is 3D. Some lines should push toward and away from camera, not just across the frame. Current state: Nothing built for this scene yet. Constraints:
Do not touch the project. Planning only, no computer use. Approach: Consider the best possible way of achieving this. It should be able to be edited realtime as well. Prioritize using plexus Output: A recommended approach with reasons. I'll approve before you build.

Prompt 2: Animate Scene 1 line connections
(i went back to creating the first scene)
Setup: Switch to the Scene 1 comp. Park the Scene 2 plan, we'll return to it.
Goal: Lines animate their connections, drawing from one vertex to the...
