This is for all the aspiring filmmakers that want to create a trailer with the green rating intro at the beginning. I created a Photoshop template of the ratings green screen this weekend after spending too long searching for one online. Instead of just filing it away I figured I’d share it with all of you.
All of the text layers are customizable. There are five fonts in use, some of which you may need to acquire on your own:
- Arial-Bold
- Arial Narrow-Bold
- Arial Black-Regular
- ITC Veljovic Std-Black
- NimbusSansNovusT-Black
Beyond that, all that remains is your imagination. You can see how I put mine to use here.
Click here to download a zip file of the Photoshop file and let me know how it works out for you.

This is incredible. I’m cutting a trailer for a short film and they asked me to include a customized green trailer screen. I thought, at best, I’d make something that looked crudely homemade, not being much of a Photoshop guy. You made it possible to have something that looks genuine. Thank you.
Excellent! I’m glad to hear you found a use for it. Thanks for letting me know.
And feel free to post a link to the trailer when it’s finished, I’d like to check it out. If for some reason you’re not able to post the link here just hit that Contact button up top and drop me a line with the info.
Will definitely do so once the directors give it the thumbs up.

Is the movie trailer green screen intro .jpg available for free for commercial use?
Chris, that’s a great question. I’m distributing my file to use however you please, but I can’t speak to the original green screen intro that inspired me to create this one.
Nice job! Thanks for sharing this – saved me a lot of work!!
Thanks, Dave! Glad it helped. Feel free to link me to the finished product if you’re posting publicly.

By being thoughtful, you just saved me probably 2 hours of my life, figuring out fonts and drop shadows!
Hip Hip Hooray!!!!
Thank you so much for making something so helpful. I was curious to know if there were tutorials or generators for these and I stumbled upon yours. I am using it for my college digital video class. Again, thank you so much for providing this!
That’s great! Post a link to your finished video when you get it done, would love to see it.
Thank you SO much for this! I’m a student working on a final project and this was a life saver since I’m very new to photoshop. Thank you thank you thank you.

I wish to use this as a part of my banner design for a recently destroyed by fire video shoppe that is having a grand reopen in Newfoundland!
Cool, go for it!

My pleasure. I enjoyed making it, good to hear it saved you time.
worked out great. EXACTLY what I needed. Well done and thanks for sharing!
Great! Glad it worked out for you, and you’re welcome.
I can’t find the file anymore. It says it’s not available? By any chance did you delete it?
Weird. I just clicked the link and I was prompted to download, so it’s still there. Look for the “click here” text in the post.
Thanks man, just what i needed!
Fantastic, glad to hear it!
Thanks again that was great!
My pleasure!
Heya, sorry to be disturbing you ^.^ I was wondering if we posted a trailer online with the green screen customised and edited ect, would I have to link people to this page? or Is it just a free thing to use without any worries
It’s completely up to you! I made it for myself and figured other people would find it handy. And indeed, many have. I always enjoy seeing it in use, so if you want to come back here and drop a link to your trailer, great. And if you want to tell other people where you found it, great. And if you just want to use it and not tell anybody anything, great! I hope you find it useful. Have a great day!
Thankyou for you for responding, I have added a link to this page, thankyou once again!! ?
Fabulous, thanks!
YAY! Thank you so much. Saved me a lot of time creating my own. You’re great!
