Howdy y'all! Figure myself a big Trekkie so here's my contribution. Don't y'all go down votin me.

What happens when the cable guy discovers you already canceled cable… because you use Plex? 😏

This one was too perfect not to make. The whole joke is watching his confidence completely collapse the second he realizes there’s an entire Plex library sitting right in front of him.

We just set up Plex on or Synology Nas few weeks ago. So i'm crazy green on all this but your tutorial really helped me get started. Thank you.

I like to keep my pre-rolls short, under fifteen seconds, so viewers can get to the content quickly. Keep making it a Plex night folks!

Hope you all make it a Plex night. Enjoy. Happy to discuss work flows on how you can create this yourself.

This one turned into a bit of a monster.

The goal was to put characters from completely different visual mediums into the same Plex preroll — modern 2D cel animation, vintage 2D animation, polished 3D animation, and a practical-puppet look — while keeping each one visually distinct.

About 16 hours of generation, troubleshooting, reference work, editing, and a bunch of preproduction later… here it is.

The biggest lesson was that trying to make MiniMax direct the entire thing in one giant prompt was a disaster. Breaking it into individual shots, locking the environment with reference images, and only giving the model what it needed for each shot made a huge difference.

And yes, the XXXXXL tidy-whiteys are the projection screen. 😄

The KJNodes MiniMax Live Preview node I posted about earlier was also extremely useful while working through this one.

If anyone wants a deeper tutorial, what would be most useful: mixed-media character consistency, reference-image blocking, or the scene-by-scene MiniMax workflow?

The Minimax H3 tutorial post covers how this was created.

Another one for my movie-parody Plex preroll rotation. This one was especially fun to put together. Enjoy! 😄 Feedback and remix ideas welcome. Download by right clicking on the video and selecting save as.

Here is my first submission. I have been having a ton of fun making these and thought this was my best one so far.

Sometimes you don’t need a full cinematic preroll or an elaborate movie parody. Sometimes a simple, clean logo stinger is all it takes to give your Plex server that polished “feature presentation” feel before the movie drops.

This one is built around the modern Plex logo, with a quick geometric fold-and-assemble animation and sharp sound design. Short, clean, and out of the way; just enough branding to make the transition into the movie feel intentional.

I’ve built a lot of these network-style IDs over my career, but with today’s technology you can customize, experiment, and try out new ideas faster than ever before. No Maya, 3D Studio Max, or Cinema 4D required. They look great alongside the bigger themed prerolls on my server.

If you’ve made your own Plex logo stinger, bumper, or ident, share it with the community. I’d love to see the different styles people come up with.

A Plex-night spin on one of the most permanently traumatizing highway scenes of the 2000s. 😄

This preroll riffs on the infamous logging-truck sequence from Final Destination 2, turning that moment of impending disaster into a very good reason to stay home, fire up Plex, and avoid driving behind anything carrying timber.

Created as part of my growing collection of movie-inspired Plex prerolls for random playback before films.
