After a few seconds, A giant letter "Cooper Black" with the text "VIDEO" in a thin font beneath its blue shadows zooms outwards from the viewer for a short period of time against a moving yellow-black gradient background and stays on-screen for a period of time. It then zooms away from us, as the same text described above but and striped with "VIDEO" beneath the text, along with "Arial" in white appears and on-screen for a while.
