r/EditingVideo

I've been experimenting with AI-generated UGC ads and wanted to share one of my recent projects.

The goal was to make it feel as close as possible to a real creator-style ad while keeping natural pacing, believable expressions, and an edit that doesn't immediately scream "AI."

The workflow involved multiple AI tools along with manual editing, sound design, color grading, and compositing to make everything feel cohesive.

I'd genuinely appreciate any feedback—especially on what still gives away that it's AI and what could be improved.

What is this video editing technique called where it looks like the needle is stabilized? I want to replicate it for a project.

I shot a video surprising my dad with world cup tickets and I stepped in front of the camera and then out of frame again and it went out of focus for the actual reveal. I am so upset with myself and want to know if there’s any way to fix a blurry video after it was shot. I know it’s not super likely but I’m putting it out there in case there’s some kind of miracle hack or software that might fix my issue. And I’ve already tried messing with the sharpness. Any help would be appreciated!
