VFX is the most video-dependent category on the store, by a wide margin. Buyers can't judge an effect from a still, so nearly every successful pack leads with motion.
If you sell VFX without a clean preview video, you're competing with one hand tied — it's the cheapest, highest-leverage fix in the category.
