- AI Integration: Leverage AI tools (e.g., Firefly, Midjourney, Topaz, or Premiere’s AI features) to generate assets, enhance low-res footage, or automate repetitive tasks.
- Graphic Design: Create supporting thumbnails or on-screen overlays using Photoshop and Illustrator to maintain brand consistency.
- Audio Sweetening: Ensure crisp sound quality through basic leveling, noise reduction, and impactful music beds.
