entro before videos

[marquis24]

Does anyone know how to make a video entro of their studio before the
video. for ex: a bouncing ball that bounces from corner to corner then my studio name fades in then fades out then my video starts. Also do you have to do this from scratch as i will be using adobe premire.

You can use this ball or you can make your own.

I made this one in Photoshop. I used the shape tool to create a circlular path, right clicked it, hit Make Selection. Then I filed it with a cricular gadient using white ---> red. It gives it that 3D diffused look.

You could probably change the color just by adjusting the hue in Photoshop or some other program.

As for animating it, you can check out this thread where I describe how to make a Kareoke(sp?) ball that follows text on the screen. You can easily adjust these instructions to make it just blob across the screen.

If you wanted to make the ball seem like it was inflated, you could setup three keyframes everytime the ball "hit the ground".

The first would set the ball @ 25% height, 25% width. This is so the ball is not actually changing in shape between the preceeding keyframe and this keyframe, that would look odd. The next keyframe is where we squish the ball, the height goes down to 15% but the width stays at 25%. This makes the ball look compressed/squished. Then another keyframe is added to return the ball to it's normal shape @ 25% width & 25% height.



I was testing some things out as to how to make MANY balls appear at once all squishing around on the screen. You can use Horizontal or Vertical Flips to acheive sort of the effect. Unfortunately my attempt at two transform filters on one clip failed because the Alpha channels CONFLICT, because Premiere is the stupiest video editing software ever.

Anyways, you'd have to manually re-adjust all keyframes if you wanted more then four balls on the screen at one time.

As for having your logo phade in that's a simple task of making your logo in a program such as Photoshop or MS-Paint even. Just use the rubber bands(they're covered in the help file/ manual) to make it phade in a phade out.

So long as you have the Alpha channel enabled(which you need to or else this effect won't work). You can actually have the balls bounce in front of your logo. Just place it on a lower track then the clips.
