I'm starting work on my company's first video advertisement, and I created this outro for the video timed to the last bit of the music we intend to use. I know it's not much, but if anyone has any quick thoughts, compliments, or criticism, I'd appreciate hearing anything that comes to mind. I will of course post the full video when it is complete.

Thank you!! :) This is my first time ever using After Effects so it was a bit of a struggle for me, that one clip took a good 4 or 5 hours of work, haha. In small business you really do have to be the Chief Everything Officer sometimes.

That's how I feel because I'm poor and people are expensive haha.

Awesome! The next question is: how does it look at 30 seconds?

Haha good question.. I'd probably have to create something entirely different if I was to go that route. Something animated probably.

You could probably start with the coffee drop, cut half of the clips in between, and shorten the ending, and you should be good.

Awesome video, love the tune. Also the sort of shaky POV way you've shot it is really refreshing vs many of the sterile polished promotional vids you see everywhere.

Like the other posters I'd focus on making it shorter. I recently got the same sort of feedback on reddit for a marketing video we shot for our business. Ours was an animated clip of almost two minutes but we weren't introducing the full features of the product until almost the end of the video. The TLDR was 'cute but terrible'! I think you've got the same issue with introducing your product and its features too late, you'll have lost lots of viewers by that time.
