Pro tips

Make a YouTube video intro that dazzles

Do your YouTube videos need intros? Probably not. Will a YouTube video intro boost your professionalism and help your content stand out on the crowded platform? Absolutely. Give your videos the best chance to get noticed with compelling YouTube intros, made with Biteable.

Keep branding in mind

A fun and recognizable intro goes further than you might think.

If your video intro makes people smile, they’re more likely to engage with and share your content. Be open to experimentation — study the performance of your videos, the comments, and key metrics like where people stop watching. Adjust accordingly.

Once you build a style that works, stick with it. If you follow the above steps and make your video intro synonymous with your brand identity, viewers will start recognizing your content just by the colors and intro alone, making them even more likely to stick around.

Bite-sized is best

Remember, we’re talking about YouTube intros. Now isn’t the time to tell your entire life story or ramble on and on about how great your video is going to be. (Save this for your YouTube channel trailer).

Keep intro videos short and sweet. We recommend 15 seconds or less — just enough time to introduce your company or video topic and get viewers excited about it. If things get too long, trim your videos with ease.

Include your sparkly new intro at the start of every YouTube video, and leave your channel trailer to greet viewers who click on your channel to find out more.

Get crafty with custom YouTube intros

The best thing about Biteable? It takes seconds to customize your intro video. If you want a different intro for each YouTube segment you offer, knock them all off your to-do list in a matter of minutes.

Duplicate your existing intro video and tweak it with the relevant changes. Edit the text, animations, or clips to suit the intro you’re adding to your repertoire. You’ll get the benefits of keeping your style consistent across your channel, while also making the pro move of customizing intros for every type of video you make.
