In the context of the video, Lauren is editing to recreate the intros of popular TV shows, which involves selecting and arranging visual and audio elements to match the original style.

💡Intro

An intro, short for introduction, is the beginning sequence of a TV show that often includes the title, theme music, and sometimes a summary of the show's premise. It sets the tone for the series and is instantly recognizable to viewers. In the video, Lauren is recreating intros for shows like 'The Powerpuff Girls' and 'Outer Banks,' which are significant for their unique styles and impact on the series.

💡Font

A font is the term used to describe the design of a set of typefaces used in digital or printed text. In video editing, choosing the right font is crucial for establishing a certain look or feel. Lauren uses specific fonts like 'Utonium' for 'The Powerpuff Girls' and 'Urban Elegance' for 'Jenny and Georgia' to stay true to the original intros.

💡Blending Mode

A blending mode in video editing determines how two layers are blended into each other. It can create various effects, such as transparency or color interaction. Lauren uses blending modes like 'Luma Matte' and 'Screen' to overlay text over images in a way that resembles the original show intros.

💡Keyframes

Keyframes are points in a video timeline where a specific property, such as position or scale, is defined. By setting keyframes at different times, one can create animations or transitions. Lauren uses keyframes to animate the text and background elements to mimic the dynamic movement seen in the original TV show intros.

💡Saber Effect

The Saber effect is a plugin used in video editing software that provides a variety of advanced effects, including glow and flicker, which can enhance the visual appeal of text or graphics. Lauren utilizes the Saber effect to give the 'Riverdale' intro text a glowing, hollow appearance similar to the show's logo.

💡Stock Footage

Stock footage refers to pre-shot video material that is not originally produced for a specific project but can be used to save time and resources. Lauren uses stock footage of a creepy forest and an ocean scene to serve as the background for the 'Riverdale' and 'Outer Banks' intros, respectively.

💡Hue and Saturation

Hue refers to the color of an object, while saturation refers to the intensity of that color. In video editing, adjusting hue and saturation can change the overall look and mood of a scene. Lauren changes the hue and saturation of the background to match the color scheme of the original intros more closely.

💡Motion Tile

Motion Tile is a feature in video editing software that allows a still image to be repeated and animated to fill the frame, creating a dynamic background. Lauren uses this feature to add borders to the 'Outer Banks' intro, giving it a more polished and professional look.

💡Pre-compose

Pre-composing is the process of grouping multiple layers or elements into a single layer for easier editing and effects application. Lauren pre-composes different elements like text and background to treat them as a single unit, which simplifies the editing process and ensures consistency across the intro.

💡Luma Matte

Luma Matte is a blending mode that uses the luminance (brightness) information of one layer to define the transparency of another. It can create effects where text or graphics appear to be revealed through underlying layers. Lauren applies Luma Matte to the 'Outer Banks' text to make the sunset visible through the letters.
