Windsurf Wave 10 – Day 1: Planning Mode
Windsurf · Jun 2025 · 1:21
The video intercuts static interview shots of a single speaker against a cyan gradient with screen recordings of the Windsurf IDE, moving from a 3D title card to a feature demo and back to the speaker for each explanation beat. Signature moves are the wide-to-tight letter-spacing title animation, defocus pullback transitions, and green diff highlights that mark plan updates.
