What’s a Demo Reel and what are they good for?
Demo Reels are gathered clips made from past projects to create a singular video, like a compilation. These videos are great for starting businesses as they show experience through the imagery. The videos do not require long lengths as they are simply a summary of a portfolio and should only show performance, nothing else. If you want to know more about Demo Reels check this out!

Editing a Demo Reel
With access to Adobe After Effects, I was able to create more custom animations with ease. Starting the first few seconds and the last with an opening/closing, I decided to make a more custom Demo Reel by having most of the animations done on After Effects, and the fine tuning made in Adobe Premiere Pro. As I made the Demo Reel. I decided to make “pre-comps” in Adobe After Effects. In simple terms, Pre-comps are Groups that you can individually save.
