Spice Up Your Videos with Slick, Hollywood-Style Intros
Want to hook viewers from the very first frame of your product video, tutorial, presentation, or the like? Head to VipID, where you can create custom intro videos that look just like splashy movie-studio intros.
All you do is choose a theme, then fill in the desired text. For example, you can do a "Star Wars" intro, complete with your company name in place of Lucasfilm, Ltd., a custom "A long time ago" splash screen, a custom title in place of "Star Wars," and even your own text crawl. (Here's a sample, which took me all of five minutes to create.)
If that sounds like overkill, how about the jumping Pixar lamp, with your company's name in place of Pixar's? VipID currently offers about 20 intros, including 20th Century Fox, Lionsgate, Warner Bros., Universal, and various generic and holiday themes.
They're really cool, too, with the same sound effects and/or music used in their studio counterparts. It's the kind of thing you'd normally have to pay thousands to recreate using your company name or boilerplate.
Thankfully, VipID doesn't charge nearly that much. New users can create one free low-resolution, online-only video per week. For as little as $1.99, you can buy a video with a resolution of up to 480 x 270 -- fine for mobile and Web viewing. If you want 1,280 x 720, that'll run you $4.99. And so on. VipID sells bundles of "creation points" you can apply to the various resolutions (which top out at 1,920 x 1,080, the equivalent of 1080p).
When you're done, you can share, embed, and download your intro in FLV or MP4 format.
If you want your video to stand out from the crowd, VipID offers a fast, easy, effective, and affordable way to make it happen. It's seriously cool.
