Streaming Service Style Prerolls

If your family already knows the Netflix ta-dum by heart, this is the quickest way to make your own server feel familiar. These intros are styled after the big streaming services: the Netflix ta-dum, the HBO static, and Disney+ and Prime Video style openings.

About Streaming Style Prerolls

They're short, often just a few seconds, which makes them a good pick if you watch a lot of TV and don't want a long intro every time. On Jellyfin and Emby you can play intros before episodes as well as movies, and a three-second ta-dum is about as long as anyone wants before episode four of the night. Plex only plays prerolls before movies, so there they work as a quick opener before a film.

They also mix well with the studio logos. A ta-dum followed by a studio fanfare feels a lot like pressing play on a streaming app.

Like the studio logos, these use other companies' branding, so keep them on your personal server.
