Video Splash FX

Hi everyone,

Think back a few months to the big launches we saw such as Andy Jenkins' "Video Boss", John Reese's "Outsource Force", Jeff Walker's "PLF 3.0" and Frank Kern's "List Control"...

Now you probably noticed that all of these $2k course launches (plus Don Crowthers and a few others) followed the exact same formula with their pre-launch content, page layout (using Kajabi) and a few other bits and pieces.

BUT... one thing they ALL have in their pre-launch videos is an awesome opening video splash effect. In other words, the logo for the product appears on the screen in a really groovy way. Usually only 2-3 seconds long with a sound effect behind it.

Does anyone know the easiest way to make these? Lets assume that we have our product, product name and a logo for the product. Basically all you need is for that logo to appear in a funky way + a sound effect...

...but if I want to outsource the creation of the video splash, who would I have to look for and how would I describe what I want?

Is it called a video splash or something else?

Any help would be great!
Thanks,
- Marc

    For this purpose I use normally a nice handy tool called textosterone. It is for text animations only and does the job very well. No coding skills needed, output files are flash files or video files (if your embedded player doesn`t support swf files).

    If you don`t want to spend money on software, you can also shop at fiverr. Lot`s of users are offering animated video services there.

      If you wanted to outsource it or have better luck searching for the type effect you're looking for in the search engine, it's better known as "animated logo", "animated video logo", or "special effects logo".

      Hope this helps!

      Nice little post and appreciate the recommendation for the textosterone tool.

    Youtube has a lot of videos showing you the ropes. Of course, most assume you have the right software, patience and some decent talent and ability to follow directions.

    In the end, it's fun to experiment (I did) but more cost/time effective to hire out.
