In our audio and video categories, we’ve noticed a rise in searches for gaming intros. With a limited supply of fresh, high-quality content to meet this current demand, we see this as an opportunity for our Authors to create more content in this space. Templates that are dynamic, easy to edit and customize are appealing to our customers. We love this vibrant item featuring 3D objects by motionpictors and this Davinci Resolve Gamer channel opener by Videostones, which are perfect for any E-sport-related platform like Gaming TV intros, YouTube & Twitch intros.  When adding relevant items, consider using the following terms when tagging:

• Gaming intro
