Title Sequence Intro & Outro Animation

Intros and outros are the segments that appear at the start and end of your YouTube videos and videos for other channels. Intros typically introduce the audience to the personality or company creating the video and may include an animated logo with a voice-over.

Meanwhile, an outro usually has a call to action (CTA), which can include a call to subscribe to the video channel, and links to social media. Outros appear at the end of a video and are meant to boost engagement with your target audience. They can include thumbnails, links, or other attention-grabbing imagery.

Intros on YouTube can be no more than 15 seconds long, and how you make them depends on your desired brand identity. If you’re looking for an animated intro you’ll want a application such as Adobe After Effects to create a motion graphic. You could use he same software for logo animation in other capacities as well.

YouTubers make their own intros and end screens in a variety of ways. Some make the segments themselves, while others hire motion graphic artists to make professional intros and outros for them.

The key to writing an excellent radio talk-show script is to write the way you speak, give yourself flexibility, and keep the lines concise. You can use intros and outros to give cues to segments, as you would commonly hear on a podcast.

Intro makers are great if you are short on time and don’t want to bust out video editing software. Some of the intro makers available online are Intro Maker, IntroCave, IntroChamp, Renderforest, Biteable, and Filmora.

When it comes to creating your intro for YouTube, you’ll need to talk with your designer to see what they need. The files they require will typically include a copy of your logo if your brand identity is established.

If your brand or YouTube channel identity isn’t established yet, you may need to talk about color schemes or layout to get what you want.
