First check failed on contrast and occlusion, both fixed before the final render: the small 'ASKING AI' label, the NEW tag and the orange check-marks inside the dark chips all failed WCAG AA (label darkened, tag switched to dark text on the accent, chip checks lightened), and the opaque end frame occluded the earlier scenes in the checker (the chat, answers, panel and mascot now fade out just before the end frame fades in). Snapshot stills at 1.6s, 4.2s and 8.6s then reviewed clean: the typed question with only the first rival listed, the mascot drooped (bent antenna, flat mouth) beside the rising AI-visibility gauge and slotting chips, and the end frame with mark + name together, the message line and the CTA pill at near-equal weight.

tugrawork-creator's mascot product promo — community prompt (tested)
Shared prompt: the fill-in template from saas-motion-kit, whose code and docs are MIT-licensed (the kit's only non-MIT asset is its generated music track, which we do not use — our film is silent). Our video is an independent test run with a fictional product — the creator does not endorse MotionPrompts.

Make a 35-second 1:1 LinkedIn product promo video for Brightpath.
Product: a CRM for small teams
URL: https://example.com (fictional demo)
Audience: indie SaaS founders
Message: Buyers ask AI first — see how AI sees your brand.
Tone: playful
Gates:
- 16:9 desktop UI kept sacred — fake the mobile crop, never redesign
- mascot if the product has one (use it, don't redesign it); otherwise type-led
- logo + CTA in the last frame of near-equal visual weight
- name + mark on screen together at least once
Variety (run the creative pass):
- vary the intro every time — don't do logo-first twice in a row
- don't reuse a joke structure twice
- don't open or close the same way as the last post
- don't default to a motion idiom — pick per piece
Close with: same end-frame on the post and in the in-app empty state.
We ran the creator's fill-in template (not his worked Scout example) with a fictional CRM, "Brightpath". His template's bracketed choice-lists are folded into the {{format}} field. His reference cut runs 35 seconds; ours is a 9-second compressed cut of the same arc (asked → missing → working → listed → end frame). His kit's music track is CC-BY-NC, so our film is silent. The mascot is our own simple drawing in his spirit — an original character, not his Scout artwork.
