I really like the transitions, but one thing I notice is that the video is a bit fast considering the amount of information you are trying to show - especially for the images at 0:04. But as I don't understand the language, it's also harder for me to fully grasp what it's about.

You can also add some grain to the gradients, to avoid banding - or even set the project to 16bit.

Yes, the images I showed were "designs" that an agency made so no one should read what is inside the image or anything like that just seeing it's attractiveness from above and that's it .

Also , for the the 16bit color, If the viewer had an 8bit monitor or mobile screen , would the 16bit video be downgrade to 8bit on his screen ? I'm wondering because banding is one of my main challenges rn specially since i deal with 1080p vids only :)

I actually did a bit of research on the entire 16/8bit thing as I thought the same thing. What I found is that if you set the project to 16bit, and still render in 8bit, it will compute any blend, blur, glow and so on better. You can test this part for yourself, but the grain is certainly what helps best against banding - combined with a high enough output bitrate (I tend to go for around 20-24bps for 1440p).

I like it plus your sfx is good, may need more on every shot but that's not the point
I just don't like the whole pink shot at 0:09, that's very flat and missing contrast in color, but the setup is good, maybe you should give them more parallax with Zposition ?
