Visuals:
- Opening: A scene from The Sting is shown and zooms out onto a CGI filmstrip. Another film strip appears and the text "S P E C I A L" (on the left) and "E D I T I O N S" (on the right) appear with silver bars appear on the top and bottom of the filmstrip and the letters are spaced out. The 1997 Universal Studios logo appears in the center.
- Closing: Same as the opening, but it starts with a scene from a film that was to be released as a forthcoming Special Edition. A copyright for Universal Studios Home Video, Inc. appears underneath when everything is formed.
Technique: CGI and some live-action clips.
Audio:
- Opening: The promo's opening theme plays as Jerry Houser says "Universal special editions."
- Closing: The end theme of the promo plays as Houser says "Universal special editions. Add them all to your video collection." At the beginning, we also hear the audio of the last film scene.
Availability: Can be seen at the beginning and end of a promo for Universal's Special Edition VHSs included on then-contemporary special edition releases from Universal Studios Home Video, such as The Sting, American Graffiti, National Lampoon's Animal House, Field of Dreams, and The Blues Brothers.
