A quick disclaimer, I just want to come clean, since some people here concern about 'template',
several parts of my video is pre-made footage/template or whatever you call it, which I have acquired legally, but I don't think it's against the rule.
but of course, I spent time and effort to edit those pre-made footages add Roobet theme/items, and add my own voice over.
For the background music, I download it from youtube audio library which is free for everyone.
Yeah, all of them spent time and effort also to make videos like this even they used template. But in the end, devs are still the ones who will decide who's the winner and we should know from the start that using templates is a risk due to less unique and originality even though we exerted effort. I hope you and the other participants get this.several parts of my video is pre-made footage/template or whatever you call it, which I have acquired legally, but I don't think it's against the rule.

Anyways, using a template then putting some free plugins are good though, at least you didn't just use the normal template and make it look as new.
I do agree and I think most of the participat too, that template means unoriginal, or at least lack of originallity,
I also think the organizer may also consider originality as one of the winning point, but IMHO the point of making promotional video is to make the video attractive, and most of the time originallity is not the answer,
I am not just putting free plugins, I also put free background music and free voice over,
The template was used by multiple platforms, different online gambling sites and other projects. Do you think investors or users will get attracted to it when they knew it's being used again and again? Probably some popular investors will be cringe af 'cause it lacks uniqueness, originality and very even to the others. IMO, being odd and original with good content is the most attractive. Well, this is just a point of a non-participant, I hope you don't mind, good luck guys!

it depends, does the template used wisely, does it modified well, and does it actually deliver the proper message to the users, if yes, then, does not matter if a video has highly over-used template it will still be attractive, it is not only applied to video, but also other kind of promotion, thats why most of promotion is following trend, which will be very unoriginal, just like how most pop music is very unoriginal but its popular, most of them are using music 'template'
on the other hand, any people, will also cringe af when they saw a promotion that looks original, but it's not even good looking, or can't deliver the promotion message well.
no I don't mind at all, I am enjoying the discussion,
