Making an interesting start to a slide show

[avz10]

I have Pinnacle 12. I am busy making a slideshow for my daughter's 21st.


I would like the start of the slide show to look nice. I downloaded a clip from youtube with this start:

It has the sound of a projector and the initial birtday wishes appear.


Any ideas??

I had an idea once for a better mouse trap.

Sorry, but to me at least, there is no actual question in your post beyond the very vague last line.

What exactly are you looking for ?

Are you trying to re-create this intro, or somehow incorporate it into you slideshow ? If it is the latter, what exactly is the issue you are having ?

You need to be more specific in questions if you want a useful answer

I am sorry if I sounded too vague, perhaps language, as English is not my 1st language, but the questions I tried to pose were:

• "Making an interesting start to a slide show"- I am looking for ideas for a start to a slide show
• With the link- I will not be able to copy and use it, as the girl's name appear on the clip; but I thought that something similar might be nice
• "Any other ideas"

So to summarize- I am looking for examples what people might have used as a start to a slide show (links/websites/etc).

I do not know if I can get it clearer as this

You can find some nice countdowns here:

If you want the old fillmlook:

It can be used in VirtualDub and DVD slideshow GUI has it as post process.

If you want to use some old credits sequence, there are plenty to choose from here:

Thanks Tintin

I'm waiting for my other daughter to come and help me to decide
