Hi, Matthew! That first initial screen with the trees and the stream is a video I found in Content Library 360. There’s a subtle mist effect in the video which inspired me to add my own mist on top of that to slowly introduce the title screen. In Photoshop, I used custom fog brushes over a transparent background and saved as a PNG. I then inserted the fog PNG into my Storyline project, duplicated it multiple times to cover different parts of the slide, resized to my liking, and added motion paths to slowly reveal the title screen with the video.
Thank you for the kind words! I feel very lucky to work with such great people and be a part of this awesome community! 😊
