Perplexity’s 0:30 launch film runs 15 scenes, about 2.0 s each. The product shows up at 0:06 and 1 feature is revealed. There is no explicit call to action; a voiceover carries the film. The video builds from a slow montage of vignetted live-action figures to a dark, minimal prompt UI, then to a 3D storybook world, and ends on a recap grid and a soft-focus logo. Signature moves: double-exposure dissolves, wireframe overlays that sharpen into solid 3D objects, and the oval vignette that frames every live-action shot.

Perplexity - Bring ideas to life with video generation, now available on web, iOS, scene by scene
· 15 scenes as text
01 · Hook · 0:00–0:02
A red-haired woman sits barefoot on a mossy rock among pink blossoms inside a dark oval vignette, eyes closed. The shot fades in from black, then a soft mist and a faint wireframe mesh dissolve in across the base.
Camera: Static
02 · Hook · 0:02–0:03
A woman in a green top sits on a wireframe bench surrounded by pink flowers in a dark room. As the clip plays, the flowers shift to yellow and a ghostly double exposure of a figure dissolves over her while the wireframe mesh sharpens.
Techniques: Morph
Camera: Static
03 · Hook · 0:03–0:04
A man in a gray sweater leans on a mossy rock amid yellow night-blooming flowers, a dark dragon and a castle silhouette looming behind him. The image sits inside a rounded, dark film-frame vignette and holds still.
Camera: Static
04 · Hook · 0:04–0:05
A person in a beanie sits cross-legged in a dark flower field, head tilted back, as a ghostly double-exposure of a face and hand dissolves away. Wisps of smoke and faint light streaks drift across the left.
Camera: Static
05 · Hook · 0:05–0:06
A woman in a rust-orange dress rests her cheek on her hand, seated on a mossy boulder in a dark meadow of small white flowers. Behind her, three glowing dotted wireframe plants float in the black void. The shot is static, dimly lit, with a heavy vignette.
Camera: Static
06 · Product intro · 0:06–0:07
A woman in an orange sweater sits in a dark flower field, a wireframe book floating to her left. A laptop opens on her lap showing the app, then a 3D laptop mockup rises in front of her as she fades into a cosmic scene with a flowered planet.
Techniques: Morph, 3D mockup
Camera: Static
07 · Product intro · 0:07–0:09
A person in a yellow sweater sits in a field of blue flowers, typing on a transparent laptop. The camera pushes in on the dark screen as the prompt box types a request for a children's story about a yellow bird.
Techniques: UI zoom
Camera: Push in
08 · Product intro · 0:09–0:12
On a dark screen, the Perplexity Max logo sits centered above a rounded prompt field. A caret types a request about a children's story letter by letter, the field grows to two lines, and the left sidebar disappears early.
Techniques: Kinetic type
Camera: Static
09 · Feature reveal · 0:12–0:14
A dark screen shows a paragraph of small monospace text above a rounded panel filled with a grid of gray dots, with a cursor resting at the panel's right edge. The view zooms into the dot grid as individual dots flicker in brightness.
On-screen text: “4”
Techniques: UI zoom
Camera: Push in
10 · Feature reveal · 0:14–0:14
A dark dot grid fills the frame with a cursor on the right. A black angular shape with a tan inner stroke forms in the center, its border dissolving into fine particles.
Techniques: Particles
Camera: Static
11 · Feature reveal · 0:14–0:19
A book lies closed on a stone among white flowers, lit by a beam from above. Its pages fan open in a fast flip and settle on a spread: a painted yellow bird on the left, text on the right. The camera holds a high angle and drifts back.
Techniques: 3D mockup
Camera: Push in
12 · Feature reveal · 0:19–0:25
An open book rests on a stone amid white flowers in the dark. A painted yellow bird lifts off the left page and flies away, then a page turns to reveal a new watercolor of flowers.
Techniques: 3D mockup
Camera: Push in
13 · Feature reveal · 0:25–0:25
An open book with flower-and-mountain illustrations rests on a stone in a dark flower bed. A white paper airplane drifts above the right page while the scene pulses brighter and dims again.
Camera: Static
14 · Outro · 0:25–0:28
Five oval live-action vignettes of seated people in flower fields sit on a static black background, an open book silhouette fading out at center. The white Perplexity mark and wordmark fade in over the middle figure.
On-screen text: “perplexity”
Camera: Static
15 · Outro · 0:28–0:30
A blurred white Perplexity wordmark and round icon sit centered on a black field. The lockup holds a soft focus and dims to a faint glow across the shot.
Camera: Static
