Transcript
In this video, we will create an intro-like movie in Wondershare Filmora. First, drop your first clip on track 3. Go to the "Speed Ramping," choose custom, and create a fast speed ramp, keep it for 23 frames. Go to the "Effects" and search for "Narrow" effect. Apply it to your clip. Go to the "Effects" setting, change "X" to 91, "Y" to 29, and "Percentage" to 100. Turn on the keyframe, and change "Percentage" to zero in 3 frames forward.
Then, add a blank keyframe at the 13th frame. Change "Percentage" to 100 at the 22nd frame. Then go to the "Blue FX" effect and apply the "Selective Color" effect. Unfold the "Second Color" option, change "Range" to 62.5, and then go to the "First Color" section. Change "Tint" to red and change "Range" to a 100. Turn on the keyframe at the start point, then set the range to zero at the 12th frame. So, now we have only the Ferrari logo in color.
Then drop the second clip on the same track. Change "Speed" to 12x. Adjust the clip position and keep the part you need. Drop the third clip on track 4, and do some "Speed Ramping" accordingly. Then, split at one second and 5th frame. Go to the "Mask" and import paper rip PNG as a mask, which you can download from freepik.com. Select imported PNG as a mask, and adjust the mask position. Go to the "Video" and adjust the clip "Position."
Tutorial on Creating Movie Intro
What you need to prepare:
- A computer (Windows or macOS)
- Your video materials.
- Filmora video editor
Speed Ramping the Video
Import your clips after creating a new project in Wondershare Filmora. Now, drag and drop the clips on the timeline panel. Select your clips and move to the right-side panel. Press the “Speed” tab and enter the “Speed Ramping” section. Increase the speed of your video by selecting the “Customize” option and adjusting it manually. Next, trim your clip duration in the timeline panel.

Creating Zoom-in and Zoom-out Effect
Move towards the "Effects" tab and apply your desired effect on the video by dragging it on the track. Further, move to the "Effects" tab in the right-side panel and adjust the "Decolor Position X" and "Decolor Position Y" values by moving the sliders. You can also create a zoom-in and out effect by adding a keyframe by moving the “Percentage” slider at different timeframes.

Further, move back to the "Effects” tab again in the menu bar, and here, choose "NewBlue FX." Choose the required color effects and drop them on video tracks in the timeline panel. After that, head to the "Effects" settings again, and under the selected color, change "Range" for "First Color," "Second Color," and change "Tint" for "First Color." Also, you can add a keyframe for "Range" for "First Color."

Masking the Video Layer
Here, you can add another video clip and adjust its duration. You can also increase the "Speed" of this clip from the "Uniform Speed" under the "Speed" settings. Next, drop another video on the above track, do the "Speed Ramping" from the right-side panel, and split the clip after adjusting the playhead.

Next, you can also apply "Mask" on this layer. You can import your downloaded mask or choose from the available options in the "Mask" section under the "Video" settings.

Adjust Positions for Your Clips
Now, double-click the masked layer and adjust the "Position" of the applied mask by changing "X" and "Y" under the "Mask" section to change the "Position" of the clip. Afterward, go to the "Video" tab, and in the "Basic" section, change the "X" and "Y" values for the position. Now, drag and drop some PNG images and apply the same changes to them.

Color Adjustments of the Mask
Here, you must drop effects from the "Effects" tab either by searching for it or choosing from available effects. Then, head to the "Effects" option in the right-side panel, set its "Amplitude," "Frequency," and turn on the keyframe for "Amplitude" if needed.

Next, apply the same "Mask" on another layer and make the same adjustments. To make it look more attractive, you can again apply the same mask on another layer. Add some effects to it from the "Effects" tab in the main toolbar and make a change in its color settings from the "Effects" tab on the right-side panel. Also, do some "Speed Ramping" for each clip to make them look perfect.

Drop a Few More Clips and Apply Changes
Additionally, go back to the first video layer that contains two clips, drop as many clips as you are right next to these clips, and change the settings for each slip as per requirements. Go to the "Video" tab and adjust the "Position," "Scale," "Rotation," and all the other available adjustments.

If required, you can also apply the "Mask" and "Transitions" between these layers. Keep adding keyframes if you want to lock your specific setting at a specific point on a clip.
Apply Transitions to the Edited Clips
You can also make different video layers. To do so, drop your clip on another track of the timeline and make the adjustments from the settings after applying "Effects" on this clip. You can use as many clips on as many layers as you want by avoiding the time "Duration" of corresponding clips to avoid the pauses. Apply "Transitions" and Effects" of your choice on the clips of the layers if required.

Add Solid Colors and Adjust their Parameters
If you want to add the title text to this clip, add your letter clips next to the main video layer, create a layer by keeping on different tracks, and make the settings adjustments like "Position," "Rotation," and "Scale" as you like it. Additionally, you can apply the mask and "Effects" and change the "Color" of the text and its background from the respective sections and their settings after importing it from "Stock Media." At the end, "Render Preview" your video.

In this video tutorial, we learned how to create intro movies like the intro from your normal clips. The process of adding multiple video clips on multiple layers and adding effects and transitions to make it attractive is all explained.
