More and more youth groups are starting to communicate their news via online video. This was easily one of the most effective forms of communication I’ve ever used for making announcements, and I’m sure others will enjoy similar success.

To save you some time, I created a quick little video intro you can use on the front-end of your announcements. It can help grab people’s attention and focus on the video when it starts.

Legal note about the music

This YouTube version above includes music because I purchased the royalty-free license, but I cannot legally transfer that license to others, so the version I modify for you includes the sound effects, but not the music. You can add your own music to it yourself or pick up the music I used. I got it from Pond5.com (affiliate link) for $19.99. Just search for, “Radio-Tv tools – ROCK 019 (Magnetic Swing).”

Try out the non-music version for free

A generic version of this intro with no music is available as a free download from one of our weekly Freebie Fridays. If you don’t need a customized version, then this is for you. Download it here.

Customize the text and music

Please note that this customization is for modifying only the text and optionally adding your own music. If you have a 10 second music clip to include, send it to tim@studentministry.org ASAP with proof of having acquired the proper licensing.

Add this to cart to submit your custom text. The turn-around time is generally within one week. The video file will be emailed to you directly when it’s complete.
