Hai guyz,


I made an intro, tell me what you think. I just started learning the CS6 suite last night so I'm pretty new to things!

it's def. getting there. I'd say either get rid of the circle or get rid of the text. focus on one thing rather than trying to capture both of them. Keep playing around with it though, you're getting close!

Use a different song and keep it a little simpler.

Thanks for the feedback man, I think for the most part I do agree on keeping it simpler. Eh I kinda like the song but I may agree with you there too, I was maybe thinking something acoustic. Just for clarification when you say keep it simpler do you mean motion wise, or design wise? Can you just elaborate a little bit?

I personally would have kept it simpler motion wise. no need for that whole zooming thing. Secondly, i have heard the song plenty of times in edits, so you might want to find something new. if you like it, then keep it. it may actually work better without a song. i think if you put a song in your short intro, then a different song in your edit, it will be kinda awkward.

This. I would try to make the motion something more simple and fluid.

Sorry for dub post, but the one above is the final, just keeping things simple with simple motion and a nice design.

First of all, I have never ever heard the first song ever used in an edit. Second of all, I'm gonna be using the audio used in each individual edit. Third of all, its a test video for an intro, a 5 sec part of holocene fit well with the slow motion.....it's 5 seconds not even close to a full song not even used in an edit. People have used this in many videos, music is repeated, it happens.

I dont think holocene was used in any edit other than that reel sorta thing will start put out. You could have said that the intro song is going to be different in each edit. No need to get your panties in a bunch.
