intro composition
First thing i done was changed the name of the title from 'THE MOVIE' to 'THE MEETING'
I then shortened the composition from 12 seconds to 8 seconds by moving the current time indicator to 8 seconds on the composition timeline and using the keyboard shortcut N to crop the composition work area to that time, and then trimmed the composition to the work area.
I then moved the opacity keyframe to end at 8 seconds and moved the position keyframe so that it would end after 8 seconds keeping the title constantly moving during its visible animation.
Where the lavender bar is on the composition (Twitch layer name), that is an adjustment layer what has a 3rd party pluggin applied to it called Twitch by riot gear, that pluggin has a selection of pre programmed instructions/effects which you can apply to your footage by the click of a button.
The effects this template is using is Slide ( separates the rgb colours from a media source) and light (randomly lights up media source)

| Text without the effects from Twitch |
 |
| Text being affected by Twitch's slide and light effect |
What i done with this pluggin was unselected the slide effect and kept the light effect on, then i duplicated the Twitch adjustment layer and moved the copy of it towards the start of the time line, so that as my title graduallly appears it is affected by the light effect from the pluggin, and then affected again later on down the time line before it fades out.
Here is the final intro title i ended up with
For the outro it has pretty much the same set up as the title, only thing extra it has got is that it has text animation applied to it through the text animator opacity, and the opacity is affected by the range selected which is key-framed to time when each character appears on the screen, one after another.
Outro composition
What i done with this outro was i extended it to 10 seconds and changed the 'coming' to release date and the number date to ' T.B.A', i also added in the title from the intro above it i also included other elements from the template and amended it so that it reads my name and also my blog page and the story telling unit, fading out towards the end.
Here is the final result

Once i had completed my outro and intro, i then imported them into adobe premier by linking the compositions onto The Meeting project timeline. How i done this was by creating a transparent video, placing it twice onto the timeline, then left clicking and selecting replace with after effects composition.
