Most videos don't fail because of bad ideas. They fail because they wander. One section bleeds into the next. The visuals stay static. Viewers drift. Scenes and layouts fix that. Scenes give your video structure. Layouts give it visual rhythm. Together, they turn a rough cut into something that feels intentional. In this session, you'll learn how to: - Break your video into scenes that guide viewers through the story - Use layouts to create visual variety and hold attention - Customize layouts to match your brand - Reuse layouts across projects to work faster We'll leave time for Q&A at the end. Bring your questions—even the ones you think are too basic.
