So here's a quick walkthrough of the product that I made for the Figma challenge on Contra.

00:05

this is the first time I've used Figma and or Figma make.

00:09

And I gotta say it's a really good tool.

00:12

probably one of the best design tools that I've used with a, with an agent.

00:17

And it's pretty intuitive, pretty easy.

00:20

And the amount of credits that it uses, pretty minimal.

00:24

I think.

00:24

I got this made with 150 to 200 credits which is pretty impressive based on how many edits I made and just the micro adjustments.

00:35

I made this so it's just easier for me to upload reels or stories on Instagram for my tattoo Flash designs.

00:44

The basic idea was I just wanted to have a program that I could put my designs in and then just have animated text going around them and maybe add a background and then overlay some images.

00:59

So it's still evolving.

01:00

I made it pretty lean so it's, it's pretty simple.

01:04

But I'll do the walkthrough real quick.

01:07

so you have the text editors, you have a front and back text and so you go to the text tool and it just marks the front and behind.

01:17

you can change whatever you want it to say.

01:20

You can add a different font, and you just scroll down and then it gives you different animations.

01:27

you can play around with it and then this controls the different aspects of the, the font on the screen.

01:34

you can move it up or down, we'll move it up.

01:37

You can do the speed.

01:38

So this adjusts the how fast it moves or slow, sizing as well.

01:44

You get the idea.

01:46

And then the same for the front text.

01:50

So once you have a desire text you will just add an animation to it, bring it down a little bit and you can play around with it.

02:00

There's also this little animation that just creates like a weird effect on it.

02:06

Once you have that, let's add Flash design.

02:09

And as you can see these are all the tools so there's not that many but it's still fun to play around.

02:16

So upload your Flash design.

02:18

you can increase, decrease the size and just to do all the adjustments to the Flash let's add a background.

02:25

you can select these existing colors or you can add your own color.

02:30

You can also add images or you can upload videos as well.

02:36

and hopefully in the next version we'll have the preset videos uploaded.

02:41

if you want to do another image on top of this, just add another image upload.

02:48

So if you have logos any other thing, you can add just simple animations to it if you like or you can just have it plain and then speed.

02:59

once you get everything the way that you like it, hit preview.

03:04

You just use your built in screen record on the computer or on your iPad or phone.

03:10

which like I was saying it's a lean program.

03:13

Just made it simple.

03:15

So on a Mac it's command shift 5 and then record it, let it record for 1015 seconds.

03:25

Once you're done recording it just saves it straight to your phone or your whatever system that you're using and that's about it.

03:34

And then close that out and then you can keep on, keep on redoing it, play around with it, let me know what you like, what you don't like.

03:43

Obviously it's in the very first stage.

03:47

it's pretty fun so far.

03:48

and there's a lot more to come.

03:50

I believe I'm going to hit the mobile side of it so it'll be easier to use on a phone.

03:56

yeah, let me know.

03:57

Thanks.
