## 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 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.

## Final tips

* Always align transitions with what you’re saying in the video for maximum impact.

* Experiment with layout timing until it feels smooth.
