Visuals: On a blue-black gradient background, the title of a specific Paramount movie is shown and underneath it in capital letters the text "Coming in *Month* to video stores everywhere from Paramount" or "Coming this *Month* to video stores everywhere" is seen in a white lowercase Helvetica Bold font.

Visuals: On a background filled with blue/indigo squares, a flat, blue frame with the Paramount abstract mountain logo in silver appears. The stars shine from left to right, before the Paramount frame flies off as the blue/indigo squares move, opening up like a door. The words "COMING ATTRACTIONS" or "FEATURE PRESENTATION" in gold are revealed on a heliotrope gradient background. They zoom in slowly to the center of the screen. They then shine, and after a few moments, quickly begin zooming in again, cutting the bumper to black (for Coming Attractions) or the warning screen (for Feature Presentation).
Bylines: This used whatever byline Paramount was using at the time:
Variants:
Technique: Both versions are animated with CGI, while the 90th anniversary variant's stormy background is live-action footage.
Audio: The 1988 Paramount on Parade fanfare, with a rearranged intro as well (the 1986 rendition of the 1976 fanfare had the synthesized chimes fade out when the music began). When the text is revealed, we hear a deep-voiced male announcer, possibly Bill McAllister, saying:

Trivia:
Bumpers: Legend: [n] - no voiceover, [v] - two voiceovers used
Variants:
Technique: None.
Audio: Same as the 3rd bumper, except Brian Cummings says the lowercase lettered text more consistently than before. A few different voiceovers were used for some of the screens; for the sake of convenience, these are listed as Version #1, where he says it in a low voice, and Version #2, where he says it in a jollier voice.

Visuals: On the background of the early 1990's Paramount warning screen, which we see after the Paramount Feature Presentation bumper, we see a message asking viewers to stay tuned after the movie for a specific feature.
Variants:
Then, the bottom part fades to:
Technique: None.
Audio: None.

Visuals: On a pink curtain backdrop, movie star Shannon Tweed appears seated in a chair talking about the Cold Sweat Night on the Town Sweepstakes. As she talks, the camera zooms in on her until stopping with only her head and some of her body visible.
Trivia: The sweepstakes Tweed was referring to offered a shot at a fully chauffeured limousine ride with her, followed by dinner and a visit to a "popular nightspot," as she called it (all of this was for the sweepstakes' four grand prize winners). After the movie, Tweed reappeared in the same spot and talked about the sweepstakes.
Technique: Live-action footage.
Audio: Tweed saying "Hi, I'm Shannon Tweed. You're about to see me in Cold Sweat, an electrifying, sexy suspense thriller. How would you like to meet me in person for a night on the town? You can if you're one of four grand prize winners in the Cold Sweat Night on the Town Sweepstakes. You'll get all the details right after the following feature presentation of Cold Sweat. And be sure to watch the film closely so you can answer the sweepstakes questions, then we'll talk after the movie."

Audio: The closing of the soundtrack promo's voiceover, playing over an excerpt of "Moonlight."
Availability: Appears on the 1996 VHS of Sabrina (1995).
Visuals: On a yellow background resembling the front cover of a composition notebook, we see the black text "STAY TUNED...", followed by "Rugrats Rap", in the font of the Rugrats logo, zooming in on the background with a teal banner reading "Bonus Music Video" in the upper left corner. These actions are repeated a couple of seconds later, except "STAY TUNED..." is replaced with the Harriet the Spy logo, "Rap" is replaced with "Rock" (alluding to the second bonus video, "Rugrats Rock"), and the banner reads "2nd Bonus Music Video".
Technique: CGI.
Audio: A horn-and-drum theme (the opening theme to Harriet the Spy, composed by Jamshied Sharifi) with a young female announcer saying "Stay tuned for a bonus Rugrats music video followed by Harriet the Spy! And don't touch that VCR, because there's another Rugrats music video coming up right after the movie!"
Availability: This can be seen on the VHS of Harriet the Spy.
Visuals: Against a blue-tinted picture of the 1986 Paramountain, the white text "STAY TUNED FOR A SPECIAL PRESENTATION AFTER THE MOVIE" zooms out to the center of the screen and then shines, giving off rays of light.
Variants:
On the left is the cover of EW's "Oscar Winners & Losers" issue. This is all on a blue curtain background.

Bumpers:
Technique: None.
Audio: Silent, except for the announcer, Brian Cummings, enthusiastically saying one of the following:
Audio Variant: A variant of the "COMING TO VIDEO STORES" bumper features Cummings saying "And, coming this February from Paramount Home Video." This appears only on the original 1999 VHS release of The Truman Show.
Availability: This was used for a very short time before being replaced with the next bumper, but it can be found on the original 1998-99 VHS releases of Deep Impact and The Truman Show.
Visuals: We see a still shot of the 1995 Paramount Home Video/Entertainment logo fading in and fading out to a black background (with the clouds still moving). We then see one of the bumpers below fade in, zoom in, then fade out.
Bumpers: Legend: [a] - both announcers used, [n] - no announcers used
Variants:
Technique: Zooming and fading effects.
Audio: The original four bumpers have Beau Weaver announcing them, usually after a few seconds of silence following the Paramount logo. Another male announcer, Brian Cummings, announces the last four bumpers, as well as the later variant of the "Coming To Theaters" and "Now In Theaters" bumpers.
Availability: This was seen on most tapes of the era, such as many Nickelodeon TV and movie releases, including the 2002 VHS releases of Clockstoppers, Hey Arnold!: The Movie, SpongeBob SquarePants: Sea Stories, Rugrats: Christmas and SpongeBob SquarePants: Sponge Buddies. The first tape to use this was the 1999 VHS release of Snake Eyes, and the last tape to have it was the 2003 VHS release of The Four Feathers. The original variant is more common than the later variant due to it being used longer and can, for example, be found on the 2000 VHS releases of Snow Day and Blue's Clues: Blue's Big Musical Movie.
Visuals: On a starfield background, we see the text "STAY TUNED FOR A SPECIAL "MAKING OF" STAR TREK: INSURRECTION FEATURETTE AFTER OUR FEATURE PRESENTATION". The background starts zooming in slowly but then gets faster, indicating that the warp drive of the U.S.S. Enterprise-D is about to engage.
Technique: CGI.
Audio: None.
Availability: Seen on two different pressings of the VHS of Star Trek: Insurrection (one with regular previews, one with only Star Trek previews; a third pressing just cuts to the Feature Presentation ID).
Visuals: On a black background, we see the following text in a Papyrus font:
Technique: None.
Audio: None.
Availability: It appears on the 1999 Commemorative Edition VHS of Chinatown.
Visuals: On a brown dirt background used in trailers for the Young Indiana Jones trilogy, we see the text: "STAY TUNED FOR AN EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW WITH GEORGE LUCAS STEVEN SPIELBERG AND HARRISON FORD AFTER OUR FEATURE PRESENTATION"
Variant: There is a variant in which Spielberg and Ford's names are removed and replaced with Sean Flanery's full name. On the bottom is the text "Exclusive to The Adventures of Young Indiana Jones features on video." There is also a second screen which the first screen fades to featuring the title of the movie.
Technique: None.
Audio: None on the original variant, but on the second variant some Indiana Jones music plays over the ID as a male announcer says the text and then says "And now, enjoy The Adventures of Young Indiana Jones: [title of feature]" as the ID fades over to the second screen.
Availability: Appears on Indiana Jones VHS releases from 1999, including UK editions. The variant can be found on the 1999 (and in the case of the UK version of The Phantom Train of Doom, 2000) VHS releases of Young Indiana Jones features.

Bumpers:
Variants:
Technique: None.
Audio: The end of the trailer theme or none.
Availability: This appears on 2003-04 VHS and DVD releases such as The Four Feathers, Star Trek: Nemesis, The Hunted, The Perfect Score, Mean Girls, and Paycheck, as well as screener tapes such as the 2004 demos of The Perfect Score, The United States of Leland, and The Prince & Me. Because this one appears at the end of trailers rather than the beginning, some trailers have their own end-of-trailer card instead, making this bumper rare. A prototype variant exists on the 2002 VHS releases of Domestic Disturbance, Zoolander, Sidewalks of New York, My First Mister, Crossroads.
Visuals: On a white background, we see the words:
This is presented in the same format as the tape's other bumpers.
Technique: None.
Audio: None.
Availability: Only seen on the 2002 VHS of Vanilla Sky.
After the 2004 VHS release of Mean Girls, Paramount opted not to include previews on any more of its videotapes (with the exception of screeners and releases of material more suitable for younger audiences), and as such these bumpers were retired within the next year.
Visuals: Same as the Universal Pictures Home Entertainment bumpers at the time, but the 1986 Paramount logo is shown instead of the Universal logo. So far, only the "a la venta en video" version has been found.
Technique: Same as the Universal Pictures Home Entertainment bumpers at the time.
Audio: Same as the Universal Pictures Home Entertainment bumpers at the time.
Availability: Found on Mexican VHS releases at the time, such as Rugrats: Decade in Diapers (Rugrats: Década en Pañales).
Visuals: On the same aurora background as the 1997-2001 CIC Video warning screen, we see one of the following bumpers.
Bumpers:
Variant: On the "COMING SOON" variant, sometimes the words may be on top of each other and in a different font.
Technique: CGI.

Technique: None.
