(Optional Step!) To add an object like a cube go to the top and click
and hold the blue 3D cube (Where you have selected the 'Plain' object
in the beginning!), and select 'Cube', to drag this cube or place it in another
position simply use the green, blue, and red arrow to place it in where you would
prefer it.once you have placed it where you want it should be some where on the screen,
this is where I have pushed mine:

I have put it right behind my text, (Floating).
Now to add a light somewhere in your intro, click and hold this object (Found at the top):
[ Register or Signin to view external links. ]

The first option should be 'Light' You can place this anywhere once again by using the
red, blue, and green arrows. This is where I have placed mine: [ Register or Signin to view external links. ]

All these steps are optional but, this is where your intro really kicks in.
you can create key frames or camera shots. To select this go to the bottom
of the mini screen and click this:
[ Register or Signin to view external links. ]


This should create and drag your camera any where on the screen by click on one of these:
[ Register or Signin to view external links. ]

When you want the camera to glide across the screen simply click a key frame move your camera to you preferred area of view, and select the key frame again. When played it
should move the camera around to where you have select you key frame spots.

---

Once you have finished all of these steps go to the top and click this:
[ Register or Signin to view external links. ]

Many options should result but find where it says "Output' and change the resolution
to 280. Then where it says From and to, In the from option put 0, and in the to option
put how many frames are listed at the end of your timeline. after completed go to 'save, go to the middle where it says 'format'.
Click on this and select, 'Quick Time Movie'. Then select 'Options...'.

after this has popped up select the 'Compression Type' setting and change it to MPEG4 Movie. Then hit OK, after completed go to path, and click on the button next to the bar that says ... then select where you would like to save it, so after all these steps are
completed you are ready to render! simply click this:
