Playing Leopard Intro Video from your Mac

 

So I have had a couple emails and some comments on this post, about finding and using the Leopard Intro video. I spent some time googling for that this evening and didn’t find anything on the subject (did find where the Panther and Tiger videos were stored though), so I thought I’d write a separate post with the location of the Leopard video.

You can download a quick Automator Application that will copy the two files and place them on your Desktop, or use the steps below.

or, in the Finder, go to:

/System/Library/CoreServices/

One of the many items in that folder is the “Setup Assistant” application. Ctrl-click on that and choose “Show Package Contents”.

Now find:Contents/Resources/TransistionSection.bundle and ctrl-click on the bundle, choosing “Show Package Contents”.

“Contents/Resources/intro-sound.mp3″ is the music that goes along with “Contents/Resources/intro.mov”

You can copy those files to your Desktop and run them through some software (iMovie or Quicktime Pro) and get them in one file, and you have a finished result!

This has been verified to work with Snow Leopard, Mac OS 10.6 (modified on Aug 31, 2009)

    Thanks! I started up my swanky new iMac without my partner being around and then wanted to show him what he’d missed… way cool.

    I find it so strange that it takes a little digging to find this bit of info on the net, so glad that I could hopefully help out a little.

    I downloaded a freeware screen saver utility from http://www.freemacware.com/savehollywood and it found the intro move right off, so now I have it as a screen saver on my iMac.

    Curiously, I can’t find the setup folder in my system. Perhaps the video was erase with one of the updates. Someone could upload it to send it to me please ?
