Show our photo app picking the sharpest of six shots, badge "Best shot".

It said back

The clip is rendered: a 5-second, 1920×1080 MP4 at 30 fps, 546 KB. It's at best-shot.mp4 in the work1 folder.

  • What it shows: a 3×2 grid of six photos with the caption "Six shots. One keeper." A selection ring hops between them and lands on the city skyline. A tick and a "Best shot" badge then confirm the pick.
  • Look: swiss in 16:9, with your teal (#1F6F5C) taken from the logo.
  • Photos: I used six of the eight in photos/: sea, peaks, forest, city, dunes and bottle. I left out the chair and plant.
  • Why the city: it has the most fine, crisp detail, with all the lit windows. All the photos are clean illustrations, though, so "sharpest" is a visual call. I couldn't run a sharpness measurement because the script was blocked.
  • Name: I used "Tidewater" because it appears in your shot.png sidebar. Tell me if the brand is different.
  • Layout check: it found no layout problems, and I checked the settled frame by eye.
