    Hi everyone! Today I spent around 3 1/2 hours working on an intro for my a Road 2 Kingdom Hearts III Let's Play series I'm doing on my YouTube Collab Channel called LPGamerZ. Feel free to give me your thoughts and opinions below and also check out the channel :)

    This looks really well put together! (Can't say I'm not a bit jealous lol)

    Personality I feel like that may be a little long for an intro. I would start it at 0:07 personally, which cuts it down to 6 seconds. If you do decide to cut it down it would be good to re sync the music as well.

    But yeah, that's the only thing I'd recommend tweaking, if anything at all. It looks very nice as it is.

    May I ask how you did it? Are they all separate pictures with the menu's noises or something else?

    I'm glad you like my intro!!! I have already used it for my next episode of Kingdom Hearts Final Mix. The process was really long to make the title screen. I made it completely from scratch, but with inspiration of how the title screen runs and fanmade title screens such as this one: https://i.ytimg.com/vi/3keD1P-MJHU/maxresdefault.jpg. The title screen was created through Photoshop CS6. I used the rectangle shape tool to make the square icons on the main menu, the line tool to make the line the squares lay on, along with the "By LPGamer15" section. For the fonts I used impact for the NEW GAME and LOAD titles. My girlfriend made me and all the other Co-Hosts on our channel our own custom avatar through some website. Sadly to use the avatar as part of the Title screen image I had to cut it out and paste it in with a tool called the Magnetic Lasso Tool. (That's also how I made my channel art) To make the effect of changing to the LOAD section of the title menu, I switched the two rectangles and lines and saved the image along with the original. As for the Load menu I literally went on my Kingdom Hearts Final Mix game on Kingdom Hearts 1.5 HD Remix, took a picture using my HDPVR 2 Capture Card, took it into photoshop, cut out the top and bottom portions of the screen, and pasted them into a new blank image. During this process the letters on the load menu bars on the top and bottom were distorted from the tool I used to make the pasting easier, so I had to go to the actual pixels themselves and restore them by coloring over the white spaces in the lettering. That process took nearly 30 minutes to do lol! After I added the top and bottom bars I made the background to where I can paste the title screen image and I placed a black rectangle in the middle space between, giving it an opacity to make an effect like in the game when it fades out the title menu so you can see the load selection screen. Once I finished all three images I went onto YouTube, got the sound effects of selecting, choosing, and loading something on a Kingdom Hearts game, and downloaded them as MP3 files from a website called clipconverter.cc. I went into a video editing software I have called Sony Vegas Pro 11, put in the images I created, put it the sound effects, and synchronized them to the images as they changed in the video. I purposely made the first part of the title screen a bit long to make it feel like first turning on a Kingdom Hearts game and listening to the Dearly Beloved music. That is my favorite part of loading up a Kingdom Hearts game :)
