Isn't there an edge-transition-merge function in this editor? Your result is still eye-catching.

What can also be helpful in creating a more natural look is to create a linear gradient that creates an upward subtle gradient from the edge of the ground. This is done after removing the white fringe. What this emulates is the wide graded reflection of the sunlight bouncing off the ground. This will not be a fringe but rather a subtle grading of the sky. From lightening at the bottom to darkening at the top of the sky. The important thing is to keep the gradient across the sky as very-very tiny. Almost imperceivable.

Good tip... ty. (btw your audio amplitude is low hard to hear; maybe raise it a little more?)

Right. Complain about the unprofessional, amateur look twice, then say, "There's a little bit left--we can deal with it later." As I write this, there are 58 seconds left in the video. Let's see whether "later" happens before you call it done.
