Four video-essay graphics you edit in Premiere Dates and places are where video essays lose people, so I built four After Effects templates an editor can change without leaving Premiere: a route map, a 3D timeline, a photo with depth and a counting number. The demo tells a short Apollo 11 story with all four. Change a label, a year or a number in the Essential Graphics panel and the animation follows. Delivered as .mogrt + .aep. Editors, which graphic do you end up rebuilding most often for essays? Photo: NASA / Apollo 11 (AS11-44-6552); not affiliated with or endorsed by NASA. Map data: Natural Earth. Music: own track.

The Premiere-editable system solves a real editorial bottleneck.

That's the part I kept hearing from editors: a nice animation is useless if you can't change the text without going back to After Effects. Is that the bottleneck you see too?

The 3D timeline would get the most use from me. Do the templates stay editable inside Premiere?

I designed and built Encore, a scheduling app for a three-office orthodontic practice, then made its launch film the same way I made the app: from the real thing.

Every screen in the film is the live app, recorded on an iPhone 17 Pro simulator. I built the phones as 3D models in Rive, mapped the recordings onto their displays, and choreographed the camera, a three-phone orbit, and a closing wall of twenty screens on a single Rive timeline. No mockups, no After Effects. Swap a screen or retime a move and the film re-renders.

Your product might be great. Does your marketing make it look that way?

For this Base44 remake, I explored how thoughtful motion design can make a product feel more intuitive, polished and engaging.

I focused on: → highlighting what matters → building a visual flow that feels natural → using transitions to connect ideas → making every movement serve a purpose

Because good product videos don't just show what a product does. They make people want to use it.

I help SaaS and AI companies turn complex products into simple, exciting videos.
