Layered Distortion - An AI Editing Experiment
The initial idea was to create a funhouse mirror effect. As I experimented with invideo Editor’s AI editing agent, the concept evolved into a different visual treatment.
I asked the agent to create an initial distortion directly on the timeline, then add a wave-based displacement effect to introduce more movement.
I also explored a layered distortion effect that makes the model appear to split into multiple overlapping versions of herself.
Finally, I adjusted the scale, opacity, and colors to refine the result.
invideo Editor is free to try.

Stressa here! For my entry I wanted to make a little cinematic adventure about: Stressella goes to CapCut World LA!
So, she books a free trial with a rather shady 100-year-old teleportal agent. Of course the old lady mistakes her for Cinderella and sends her through the wrong portal. Stressella ends up at a victorian ball in Cinderella universe, running away before she even gets to dance with Prince Charming. Luckily, her Fairy Godmother shows up and gives her a star to travel through space and time to LA.
I chose a star because I wanted her to look like a fallen star landing right in front of the Audrey Irmas Pavilion for CapCut World LA. I thought it'd be a fun way to turn a simple trip to LA into a chaotic fairytale adventure. Honestly wish I had another 30 seconds to let Stressella meet Prince Charming. Just imagined their ridiculous little banter 😭
This was genuinely so much fun to make, and I hope you have as much fun watching it as I did creating it!
Thank you so much for the opportunity to join this challenge and bring this little story to life. Wishing everyone the best of luck, and can't wait to see what everyone has created! 🤞😋
Hiii! I joined the Contra x CapCut challenge, having never used CapCut AI before. I’d only ever edited videos manually.
After three days of struggling with prompts, inconsistent characters, and scenes that absolutely refused to cooperate, I finally found my story.
I'm working at my desk with my dogs when an alien crashes into my life and invites me to LA. We travel across the universe, I get beamed onto a stage, and for a moment, I'm living the dream.
Then I turn into an alien.
And get kicked out because NO ALIENS ALLOWED.
All that intergalactic travel to technically make it to LA. 😂

Really best so far! Congrats!
SHORTCUT | Missed the Flight. Enjoyed the Adventure.
From Dubai to Los Angeles, an ordinary airport chair becomes the ultimate shortcut.
Created for the CapCut World LA Challenge, SHORTCUT is an original, action-packed sci-fi adventure that reimagines what it means to arrive.
When a young creator from Dubai receives an invitation from CapCut to attend CapCut World LA, he's ready for the journey of a lifetime. But there's one problem: he misses his flight.
Just when all hope seems lost, an unexpected discovery changes everything — a hidden CapCut SHORTCUT MODE built into an ordinary airport chair.
What follows is anything but ordinary: a futuristic transformation, a high-speed airport escape, and a spectacular flight across iconic world landmarks, culminating in an extraordinary arrival in Los Angeles.
My vision was simple: Don't just show the arrival. Make the journey unforgettable.
Rather than creating a conventional challenge video, I set out to deliver a complete cinematic experience, combining original storytelling, high-energy action, imaginative visual design, and the production values of a premium international commercial.
Because with CapCut, imagination doesn't have to follow the usual route.
Missed the flight. Enjoyed the adventure.
Created with Seedance 2.5 via CapCut Video Studio.
Created & Directed by Mohamed Beriky.
