How to create an introduction video for your YouTube channel
0:05
Hey guys, welcome back to the YouTube channel. Today we'll be taking a look at how you can create an introduction video
0:13
or an intro video for your YouTube channel without having any video expertise, anyone can do this
0:19
And I know a lot of your people starting out with YouTube
0:23
do not want to hire other people to create those introduction videos
0:27
and you know, doing all that can be super expensive. like expensive and it's far more effective to just do it yourself so let's get into it now we will be using canva canva is super popular right now and for this i do recommend using canva pro i do have it currently but you can easily do it with a free version of canva there might be some limitations on what kind of elements you can use there are some premium elements that you might really like and they might be a premium feature so you can get started with canva pro for $6 but you can also get
0:58
you know discounts and you also have things such as you know business accounts where multiple people
1:05
are using it so you can get a lower price for that as well now to get started simply head on over
1:11
to canva.com log into your account and you can go into your templates and search for youtube intro
1:17
so once you search for youtube intro you will get multiple different templates that are
1:23
created for youtube introduction videos so there are so many different templates. So there are so many different
1:28
that you can choose from there is quite a lot of variety out there that you can pick so
1:35
let's say you know there are so many different ones they are related to multiple
1:39
different kinds of niches as well and you can choose whatever fits your niche so you
1:46
guys can see this one is an amazing little template and I'm just going to open this up
1:49
so you guys can see it's like this little page by page template and if I play it over
1:56
here and just like that it says your channel name subscribe and then from here you can add your
2:01
youtube video so in your second slide you just going to enter your channel name and you can customize this however you like so let say this doesn fit in my color scheme i can click on the background
2:11
over here you guys can see it's like a video background not this but i can just going to click on
2:18
this i can remove it i can delete the video and i can enter you know my own background so i can
2:24
go into the element section or i can even click on upload and upload my own video in the background
2:29
but let's say i want to add more of a tech video i'm just going to search for tech in the element
2:34
section and then i'm going to go into videos like so and i'm just going to expand it and then i'm
2:41
going to click on send to back and then i want to maybe change the color of this item over here so i
2:48
can just click on this and i can change the color of the element now i'm going to shorten the video
2:53
a little as well like so i want to make it shorter i just want it to be like a tiny little
2:59
little section like so then i have this element and then it goes to this screen maybe i want to
3:05
change this as well so i'm going to add this and i can expand it and then i'm going to click on layer
3:13
then click on send to back like so i'm going to reduce the time of this as well i'm just going to make
3:20
this around one second and i have my channel name section and i'm going to change you know the
3:26
colors of that as well like so and I'm going to change you know this item over here and instead of
3:34
having it like that I'm just going to change the appearance a little like this and after that I have my
3:41
little subscribe section I'm also going to change you know colors on this as well now I have all
3:48
of these items added now you can add transitions in between this one this template already has
3:54
transitions it has the dissolved transition added in between i can click on add transition and you
4:00
can add pages add transitions whatever you want if you click on this you have add transition and i
4:06
want to maybe add the dissolve transition like so now i just going to reduce everything to around one second like so Extend this a little lower the timing on this And now I will move my cursor and we will do a quick preview
4:24
So I have this cute little introduction video ready for my YouTube channel. Now all I have to do is click on share on the top right
4:34
Then I can click on download and I can download this as an MP
4:38
file to add to all of my YouTube videos. Now you don't have to get started with a template
4:44
A template is just there to ease up. If you want a more customized look, you can just click
4:51
on Create Blank YouTube Intro. And this will create a blank for you and you can use a template
4:56
if you want, but if you don't, we can get started from scratch. So let's say I have, you know
5:02
something in mind already. So I will just add this design. I'm going to change the color
5:08
And for the background, let's say I want to do a different color like this, and then I'm going to reduce the time on this
5:16
I'm going to add my second frame. In this frame, let's say I want to add glitch
5:22
I'm going to search for glitch in elements, and then I can go on ahead, go into videos
5:30
Or you can add a graphic, you can add a video that's totally up to you
5:34
I'm going to add this little glitch video. I'm going to use it to cover the entire background like so
5:42
I'm going to shorten the video quite a lot like so. It's going to be three seconds and then I will go into elements, search for timer
5:51
So I'm just going to use this little integration and they have you know recommendations
5:56
They have the two and one as well. So I'm just going to make this frame one second long like this
6:05
Then I can just take this frame over. you can see page 2 I have these three dots and once I click on these three dots I have duplicate page
6:13
I going to duplicate this and add two instead of three over here then I just going to make this one second long It already one second long and then I just going to duplicate it once more
6:25
And then I'm going to add the one. Place it right at the center
6:30
And then I will add my page, and then I will have, you know, my YouTube video or, you know, my welcome page
6:37
So there are quite a bunch of different effects. And I'm just going to flip this horizontally
6:44
or I'm just going to search for loading. So moving on, I've just added a new frame
6:51
and I'm going to add a loading section on it, just to give it more of a interactive feel like so
7:00
And I'm going to make it pretty short as well. And I'm going to add my final page
7:04
which is going to be my welcome page. And I'm just going to take this little welcome like so
7:10
And you can enter a channel name. You can enter whatever you want. And just like that, once I've added all of it
7:14
this I can add my transitions so you can do uh if you want to add transitions all over to your
7:21
entire page to the entire video you can just click on animate on the top left of your screen and you
7:27
can apply to all so let's say I want the pan animation or the wipe animation whatever one you
7:33
prefer you can choose the direction as well how you want it to appear and you can click on apply
7:38
to all pages to apply this animation so now let's take a preview and you can see this is a
7:44
little animation now I don't want this kind of animation I actually want to change it up
7:49
so I'm going to select an item individually and I'm going to click on animate and I wanted to actually
7:55
have a different effect I want it to be a neon effect and I'm going to add it to all of the items like
8:04
this and they will appear more you know seamless like that so now two one and then I have my welcome
8:12
