I was wondering if anyone would be interested in some custom media browser intros. I want to state I didn’t do these from scratch I just have the software to to edit and render them. I don’t want to get overwhelmed here, as these can take a lot of time to edit and re-render, so for starters I’m thinking I could make ones that just replace my name (Fultz) with custom text?

Donate

If anyone wants the project files they are uploaded here: https://www.box.com/s/41552dc19217b9e3d476

After several PM’s about it I decided to add a donate button if you would like to throw me a couple bucks for the time I would certainly appreciate it but no one is obligated. If anyone would like some more intro’s made up feel free to hit me up.

Thank you everyone I am glad everyone is loving these like I do! I went ahead and added a donate option if you would like to send a few bucks my way I would be grateful but by no means is anyone is obligated. I love tinkering around with MB and this is one of those things I can do to share with the community.

Anyway I’m open for more or repeats if anyone would like seconds!

  • In case anyone is interested, here are the files used to make the above intro. The instructions.txt file has the details but at this point all you have to do is create the text in Blender and replace the Fultz.psd in AE. You’ll also have to use the .webloc to download the original trailer. https://www.box.com/signup/collablink/d_273399725/33d857b79ac88danofun about 1 year ago

All intros are now working!

 
  • could you do one that says “Welcome to TP’s Home Theater” please? – tp546 about 1 year ago
  • Sure can, have a preference to which style? – wraslor about 1 year ago
  • actually i really like the touchstone one – could you do that and have it say “Prendergast Pictures”? – tp546 about 1 year ago
  • Yep I’ll work on it tomorrow and post up a link when it’s done. – wraslor about 1 year ago

Figured it out. In AE it somehow changed to mp4 h264 instead of avi so they were being compressed to like 2 megs from 20! I don’t know how that happened since I never messed around in there! Anyway I’ll get to work on correcting them. Thanks for catching that.

If anyone else wants theirs recreated let me know and I’ll get to work on them I apologise about the mess up.

 
  • hey wraslor, can you recreate mine when you have time please? thanks! – tp546 about 1 year ago
  • On it right now – wraslor about 1 year ago
  • here you go tp456: https://www.box.com/s/afd3fb062880568ad44b that one was only 3.5 mb to begin with so probably not going to see too big of a change. If you would like an additional one let me know which and I’ll get it going. – wraslor about 1 year ago
  • thanks! was the touchstone one you did for me that was a wmv file okay? – tp546 about 1 year ago
  • Yea it’s fine the touchstone was all blender never went through AE. – wraslor about 1 year ago

Just a heads up I am having computer issues and intros are suddenly not rendering properly. I am not taking any requests for the time being until I can figure out what’s going on. I apologize and thank you for understanding.

 
 
  • Created:about 1 month ago

I know your not taking request at the moment. When you are again. Why not make a set of generic intros. For example “My HTPC” Or “MB Media Center”

Hi Wraslor,please maybe you can do one for me?the pixar intro with TRAMI

Thanks…

 
  • I just got a new computer and haven’t got anything installed yet but I will get one going for you when I do. If you don’t hear anything in a few days shoot me a pm, I’ve been working 75-85 hours a week for the last 3 months and haven’t had much free time so I may get side tracked lol. – wraslor 4 months ago

I just downloaded your project files, thanks a bunch. The first one I loaded up into After Effects CS5.5 was the Pixar one. It says there’s 300 files missing which appear to be .PNG files in the Title folder. Are these located somewhere, or is there something I need to do to get around this?

 
  • I think I’ve figured it out. Appears you have to use Blender first to produce the PNG files. Too bad its not all done within After Effects. Guess it’s time to install Blender :) – elshagon 4 months ago
  • Glad you figured it out but yea blender is first. It’s a free program so it doesn’t cost anything but time of the additional step. – wraslor 3 months ago
  • Yep found the tutorial on Youtube and was able to do a couple Pixar intros. It’s always fun to have custom personal intros before a movie starts. I also like showing either a funny commercial or a turn your cellphone off intro as well. – elshagon 3 months ago

Hey everyone I’ve been MIA with work and life events but I just now installed AE and am back up and running let me know if you still need or want an intro made up.

 
 
  • Created:about 1 month ago

Wraslor – What are you rendering in? I grabbed a template (fox 21st) for blender, it took me near 24 hours to render. I did render it in 1080p though lol.

 
  • Same here blender only for a few and a combo of blender and adobe after effects for others. Some are quick 1-2 hour jobs others are insane like the fox one I think took me around 16 hours on an overclocked quad core setup lol. – wraslor about 1 month ago

Don’t know how I missed this thread before. These are all awesome. I’ll def. be putting in a request once I can figure out which is my favorite. Thanks for putting these out. :)

These intros are fantastic. Just missing one thing though… 5.1 surround.

Thanks to finally getting chance to spend some time on Adobe Premiere CS6, I’ve taken the 2 channel audio tracks from the intros wraslor made for me and upmixed the 2 channels into 5.1, tweaking channel levels and delay/reverb for the rear LR.

I’ve uploaded AC3 audio tracks for the Disney and Dreamworks intros – you can use mmg (part of MkvToolnix) to repackage your AVI from wraslor with the AC3 track and create an MKV to replace your AVI.

I would recommend then using TSMuxerGui to convert that MKV to a TS or M2TS. I’ve had bad experiences with MKV files that won’t play or have problems – but that’s just been on the Xbox, so if MKV files work for you, great.

Here are the AC3 5.1 audio tracks:

  • That is awesome! I’ll have to get the info on how to do that lol. The source files I had were all 2ch so I would love to remix to 5 or 7 channel! – wraslor 12 months ago
  • Ok, so I’m super mega late replying to you on this (I’ve been busy building an MB theme – called “Clarity” – it’s a glass UI and the emphasis is on your media, not the UI I might think you’d like to see your media wrapped up in). Hopefully it gives you some eye candy lightly wrapping up your media. I’ll be posting some screenshots/videos shortly and am shooting for a beta version before Xmas to get some feedback from all you folks out there!). But back to the 2 channel –> 5.1 channel conversion… the easiest solution I’ve found is to use Adobe Premiere to remix the 2 channel audio. You have control over full 3D steering (so can move sounds to specific locations in the sound field if you want), or can just set the weightings towards center speaker and sub/LFE). I’ll post an FAQ on the method I use soon. There are other (more complex IMHO) ways of upmixing to 5.1, but why make life more complicated than it needs to be? Sure, it’s impossible to turn 2 channels into true 5.1, but with a bit of clever speaker level adjusting and a bit of centre/LFE level tweaking, who cares?!?! – leedavies 6 months ago

Are you still doing these? I have been playing with AE myself but can’t seem to quite get it to turn out right. I would be happy to donate for a nice custom intro

 
  • Funny you should mention that, I just got a new computer setup with a more powerful cpu and installed after effects and blender not 10 mins ago lol. What would like and I’ll get it posted up tomorrow for you? – wraslor 8 months ago

A Dreamworks one with “DAVIES” would be lovely. And if you happened to hit the Disney button at the same time… :–)

BTW. assuming you are making these with blender, what spec are you running and how long does rendering take etc? Just curious…

 
  • Blender and After effects. I do these on my spare system which is by far my slowest lol but it’s not in use. athlon x2 6400+ 4gb ram. Time depends on the clip some take 45 to an hour others like the fox one took damn near 18 hours! I’ll post yours up when they are done. – wraslor about 1 year ago
  • Fantastic, thanks – can’t wait to see them!!! Reason I asked is because I gave the Fox and Universal globe ones a go and they were so slow – on a Core Duo 2.4Ghz with 4Gb RAM. – leedavies about 1 year ago
  • I’ve done some on my overclocked phenom II quad core system and it goes much faster but still in the quite a few hours range on those. – wraslor about 1 year ago
