Video and Motion Graphics specialist Gepetto gave away the gorgeous Epic Slideshow Cinematic Opener After Effects template and invited users to share what they created.
Before we announce the winning entries, let’s see a little more about the item and what it does.
What does the “Epic Slideshow” do?
The Epic Slideshow takes your images and photography to a whole new level. Instead of viewing and interacting with static images through manual navigation in a web browser, the Epic Slideshow After Effects template utilizes your photos to create a visually stunning and engaging video with music. Here’s a video by YouGN that uses the Epic Slideshow to quickly and easily explain what the customizable slideshow can do:

Photos can be added and updated by a simple drag-and-drop process inside the After Effects template. With minimal effort and time, animated slideshows can magically be produced with exciting transitions and customizable titles and typography. Part of the beauty and benefit of creating these kind of videos is that they yield impressive, dynamic results from static photos instead of the often more time-consuming and more-expensive-to-shoot video footage.
One of the best ways to produce high quality video slideshows is by using customizable After Effects templates.

Templates typically come with multiple transitions to offer variety and flexibility while producing video. They are also often coupled with special effects including light leaks, particle effects, special masking transitions, and typographical effects. Many templates are set up in a way that photos and images can easily be dropped into a project and quickly manipulated to achieve the desired effect.

Runner-up Slideshow ($150)
Autumn Slideshow by Qwadro
This heartwarming interpretation of autumn contemplates the impact and emotion of the season with humanity. From the emotion of love, family, and friendship, to the adventure of life and happy moments. The perfect soundtrack to accompany the visuals is called “Inspiring Piano & Orchestra” and was created by WolfSound.
3rd Place ($100)
Autumn Flight by AlexanderUA
Our final winner captures the warmth and color of autumn from the sky. Colorful canopies from up above and gently blowing leaves down below provide a different and contrasting perspective to the golden hues of fall and autumn. Well done!
Bonus Prize (AudioJungle Homepage Item Promotion)
“Autumn & Fall Music” by HeartDrumMachine
We asked the AudioJungle community what the perfect music would be to capture the essence of fall and autumn. After an amazing response in our community forums, the track “Autumn & Fall Music” by HeartDrumMachine was selected by the AudioJungle Team as the most fitting soundtrack to autumn.
The track features delicate and gentle flurries of piano and guitar that immediately make the listener think about floating leaves, helping to ultimately create a magical and warm ambience. Very well done to HeartDrumMachine for the beautiful recommendation and to everyone else who submitted entries!
