Intros can be a super cool thing to
have in your videos and you can make a
lot of different types in Filmora... like
this!
Stick around, I'll show you how

We're going to use a few tricks today that I haven't talked a lot about before.
The first thing we need to
do is create the text graphic that we
want to use for our intro
For this one, I made it all about me.
Like I don't do that every week, right?
So I spelled out my name.
but you can use any words or font or even text motion
available in Filmora 9
That you want to use for your intro to make it exactly the way you want yours to look
The only thing you have to do, is to make sure that you create white letters on a black background.
Got it? White letters black
background
Next, we want to bounce this footage
Bouncing is something I'll talk
about more in the future
But all that means is taking the tracks you're currently working with
exporting them
at a high resolution and bringing that
footage back into Filmora
Once we our bounced text footage back into Filmora you'll need to find yourself
some other footage that you think looks
really cool.
I found this footage of a sunset
over the water looking at a city
skyline on pixabay.com
This totally reminds me of my old stomping grounds in Boston, Massachusetts
so I went with this one
Next, bring the footage you think is
cool down into the main timelin
Then, bring the bounced text footage into the track above it
Now here's where the magic happens
Click on the bounced text
footage and in the upper left click
on "compositing"
In the blending mode
drop-down, choose either Darken or Multiply
Both will work for this effect
I happen to like multiply because it's a
bit more crisp around the edges
the minute you activate it you'll
instantly see that your background image
now shows through the white letters of your text.
How cool is that?
But to really make your intro pop,
Go to your background track and use Filmora's color adjustment tools
To really push them over the edge
For my intro, I really pumped up the orange and red colors
and I also added audio effects to make
the entire thing seem more powerful
I zoomed in for a couple of frames and then I added the free suspense impact sound effect
Which is available from the
Halloween sounds pack in the Filmora library
to give my intro that extra bang
for its buck I've mentioned this before
I've mentioned this before, but there are a ton of free effects
that you can download from Filmora right now
and I'll put a link in the upper right
hand corner in the description below
to show you how to find them.
I put all of these very simple elements together and...
Voila.
