This is the end of the NVIDIA STUDIO STARS 2 competition, which ended after a month of competition. After viewing all the trailers, the jury met: here are the 4 big winners of this second edition.
Three months after awarding the most beautiful 3D creations in the NVIDIA STUDIO STARS competition, the jury meets again, this time to elect the most original and captivating video montages of this second edition.
Participants had one month, from April 30 to May 30, 2024, to put together an epic 30-second trailer based on provided footage. There were 218 self-taught, professional or passionate editors joining the adventure, and we thank you!
As with the first competition, the entries were numerous and of high quality. The jury, made up of the editor of Youtube stars, Sam, experts from NVIDIA, as well as the editorial staff of Numerama, struggled to decide between the candidates.
It is now time to discover the four big winners of these NVIDIA STUDIO STARS 2.
Here are the 4 trailers that stood out during the NVIDIA STUDIO STARS 2
The Gold Star award goes to Gabrwl for his project “Astral Splinter the revenger”
Comment from the jury/competitor on the image depending on the context
The theme is completely respected and mastered: from the rhythm to the sound design through to the choice of royalty-free visuals, everything is admirably well orchestrated.

Well-integrated special effects, impeccable work on sound and music and intelligent integration of the base material: very clearly, the Gabrwl trailer is above the rest.

Big winner of this second edition, Gabrwl wins the LDLC Zi Artist 7 Studio fixed PC equipped with an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 Super 16 GB, worth 2,449.95 euros.
With this tower, Gabrwl shouldn’t have to wait much longer when he edits videos in the coming weeks. The ZI Artist 7 Studio PC designed by LDLC is a war machine. It features an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 Super 16 GB graphics card, a 14th generation Intel Core i7 processor (2023), 32 GB of RAM and a 2 TB M.2 PCIe 4.0 SSD.
All that will remain is to install the NVIDIA Studio drivers on it, and software like Adobe Premiere Pro or DaVinci Resolve should see their video export time be divided by 9.
The Silver Star prize is awarded to Jules Billat for his creation “Péril en orbit”
The theme is mastered, the editing is rich and well-paced. The details on the sound design and the integration efforts bring character and elevate the trailer.

A real favorite for this epic and frankly effective trailer. The editing, rhythm and integration of additional rushes are a work of art.

Jules Billat placed himself in second place and won the MSI Prestige 16 AI Studio Portable PC equipped with an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 graphics card, all worth 2,349.95 euros.
The promise of this MSI Prestige 16 laptop is simple: it is a portable editing station. It features a beautiful 16-inch (QHD) screen in 16:10 format, a large RTX 4070 8 GB graphics card, a latest generation Intel Core Ultra 7 processor and 32 GB of LPDDR5 RAM so you can have peace of mind when launching Premiere Pro during Next 3 years.
The Bronze Star award goes to Obviews for its creation “Troyan”
Superb staging, the effort of production is admirable. The added shots match perfectly with those of the shots in the initial video and bring strong added value to the story-telling of the trailer.
Sat
Prize for originality without a doubt. We had to dare to integrate additional shots to make them match the original video. The result is surprising and completely transforms a “simple” PC editing video.
Numerama
Obviews wins the Bronze Star and receives the ASUS TUF Gaming GeForce RTX 4070 Ti Super 16 GB graphics card worth 1039.95 euros.
To benefit from all the advantages brought about by the NVIDIA Studio drivers, and especially the resulting hardware acceleration, it is essential to equip yourself with an appropriate graphics card. The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Ti Super 16 GB GPU has all the required assets and meets the needs of both video professionals and gamers.
In addition, thanks to its ultra-efficient cooling system based on 3 fans, you will be able to make full use of all the graphics resources of your system, without the slightest risk of overheating.
The Sparks Star prize is awarded to Matthieu DÉJOUÉ (aka Nymae) for his creation “Cinematic Revolution”
Excellent use of shots from the base video. Perfect rhythm management and excellent choice of typography for the titles. The sound design is adapted and enhances the trailer.
Sat
We applaud the fluidity of this montage, the perfect management of the music and the rhythm of these few seconds of video. Very high level.
Numerama
Coming in fourth place in the NVIDIA STUDIO STARS competition, Matthieu Déjoué (aka Nymae, also found on Instagram and YouTube) will benefit from an hour of online training with Sam.
Perfect for discovering the secrets of video editing with one of the biggest names in the sector, one who works daily alongside recognized YouTubers such as Mastu, Inoxtag and Michou.
