Hi,
I made a video for my school's robotic's team that I would like the communities imput on before showing it to the important people on the team. Basically, it is just an advertisement which we will show to people around the school as we are driving our robot in the halls or in the main "student center" where tons of people are all the time. If you have the time to watch it and post your opinons on what should be changed or added, I'd really appriciate it! Thanks!

I edited it using Pinnacle Studio 11 Ultimate just so you know (in case you know a really cool effect or something that I could use that is in that program).

It looks like you used the Fade In/Out transition (the first one on page one) for the first 15-20 seconds. I would suggest using the Dissolve transition instead. Too many spots where it was solid black for too long.

The last 30 seconds, the red and white font you used was hard for me to read, partly because of the font itself but also because some of it wasn't on the screen very long.

The rest looks okay to me.

Hi Skills. One almost cool effect, if you decide to use a different (from black) opening is to use a transition as the opener, tacked onto the front of the opening scene of course. The transition behaves a little differently from the expected. Try a couple, see how you go and see if you like it. Works particularly well with an opening title.

Thanks for the suggestions guys, I will try that transition at the start tonight when I get home.  Also, I will change the font colors and/or make them longer.  As for the black stuff it was intentional, I actually did use the dissolve transition but disolved it into pure black (a title without an actual title).  I thought that it kinda added to the dramatic effect of the opening but I guess maybe it didn't.  Does anyone else have opinons on that?
