Why it works
The opening shows the finished graphic before explaining the method, and the narrator states the tutorial promise by 0:04. A practical tool choice at 1:03–3:23 leads into visible setup steps; the measured replay peak at 3:22–3:33 coincides with the section change and 1920×1080 framing advice. The first image-placement payoff follows at about 5:14, with the real interface held long enough to follow the action.
