We got a lot of comments asking how to create a Youtube intro for their youtube channel. The key to an intro is not about complicated colorful animation, with text poping up of flying around everywhere. An intro is the first impression of who you are or what your channel is about. That needs to create a proper expectation that your content, whether something hilarious, hi-tech, stylish, is going to meet. If you are a vlogger or youtuber, your intro should probably match your personality. A nice but easy way is to have yourself showing up in the intro. And here’s a tip. Remember the slow motion trick I showed you last Friday? I’ve just created a personal style intro with a lot of slow motion. Let’s see what we got.
In order to make a personal style intro, I had boxman to film some footages about me with this iPhone slow motion camera. But that’s what he had. See, those are random normal pointless bullshit. But magic happens when we import these to FIlmora and slow it down.
Let’s open Filmora,
First, we need a background music for the intro. It has to be really cool and matches slow motion. This is the one I choose
Awesome, that’s the kind of music for a movie trailer. And now I’ll show you how to do the slow motion
Here, in the media library, these are the footages we recorded
If we preview, we’ll see these are about 10 times slower than normal speed
Oh you know what, all the footages are made with nothing but iPhone slow-mo camera. But if you’re gonna do this, you’ll need to choose a sunny day when the weather is fine and sunlight is strong. So you won’t need professional light equipment.
Ok, I’ll use these 3 clips as example to show you how we made it. Now, I want you to notice that if we drag and drop it to the timeline, the speed becomes normal again. What has been recorded in iPhone slow-mo is a littile bit different when we put it in an editor.
So, we need to double click on the footage and adjust the speed to slowest. We also need to mute the sound, which will be distorted when speed change applies.
Now, we don’t need the whole clip, so, let’s split and get rid of the rest.
And same thing goes to the second footage, drag and drop, mute, double click and slow it down. Now we have the slow motion effect. I think we only need the opening part, so split and delete.
Third footage. Drag it, mute, slow the speed, and of course quarter speed would be fine as well. After we split and delete, let’s preview. With the music and slow motion, this is turned into a Hollywood trailer style intro.
Next, I’m gonna talk about some other effects we applied.
Now, what’s on the screen is the finished project. All clips are slowed down, trimed in the same way I’ve just showed you. No transition has been used, but that would be good enough. It’s not complicated; all we need is just a little patience.
But I did use a filter called blue skies to enhance the color. You can tell the difference if we delete the filter. See.
Usually, we use filter and alter the color to convey some message or emotion. In the filter library, you can see there’re bunch of options, and different filters make up different feelings.
I’ll take the blue skies and drag and drop. Extend it to the entire video.
And, there’s a lightening effect in the end. That’s in our Retro 80’s pack. We can find it in overlay library, Retro 80s category. Let’s try it! Superb! Couldn’t be better.
Next, we need an ending title. Let’s go to title library, find that labels. Simply drag it and preview. Of course that’s the wrong place, double click on the border and text and move to the proper place. And make the title Filmora MVP.
I think this font is too soft, so we change to .. ariel black. And of course, make it capital and adjust the size.
So, basically, it pretty easy to make that intro, the most important thing is to define a tone and style that all your clips, speed, effect, title should closely follow. Now, take your shoot!
