Intro style 1: Bubble to full screen to zoomed-in screen

This intro transitions from a bubble (small webcam view) to full screen, then into a side-by-side view with a zoom on the screen.
Steps:
  1. Open your video in the Tella editor.
  2. Go to the layouts tab in the sidebar.
  3. Start in full screen:
    • Assume you’ve already recorded your screen.
    • Your initial layout should be full screen (face only or screen only).
  4. Add the bubble layout:
    • After a few seconds, add a new layout.
    • Select the bubble layout (small webcam view over screen).
    • Drag this to where you want the transition to begin.
  5. Add side-by-side layout with screen:
    • Add another layout where you start referring to something on your screen.
    • Choose the layout with person + screen side-by-side.
  6. Add a zoomed-in screen layout:
    • Add another layout when you want to focus more closely on the screen content.
    • Use the zoomed-in screen with face layout.
  7. Adjust timing:
    • Shorten or extend each layout’s duration to match your script.
    • Preview your sequence and make sure the transitions match your spoken content.

Intro style 2: Quick zoomed face to screen layout

This intro uses a fast transition from a zoomed-in face to screen sharing. It’s quick, punchy, and great for engaging viewers instantly.
Steps:
  1. Open your video in the Tella editor.
  2. Go to the layouts tab in the sidebar.
  3. Add your layouts:
    • First, add a zoomed-in face layout for the intro.
    • Then, add a full-screen screen layout (just the screen).
  4. Adjust timing:
    • Make the face layout very short (just a second or two).
    • Follow it immediately with the screen layout.
  5. Preview and tweak:
    • Adjust the timing of both layouts to fit your voiceover or script.
    • Keep transitions quick for a dynamic feel.
