YouTube outro and intro templates

Open with your name, close with a reason to subscribe.

An outro is the last few seconds of a video: your channel's name, one line, and what to do next. These templates build it for you, with your accent colour, and the logo intros do the same at the start. Pair an outro with YouTube's own end screen elements for the clickable videos.

What a good outro has

  • Your name or logo, big enough to read on a phone.
  • One line that says what the channel is ("New facts every week").
  • One call to action, not three: subscribe, or watch the next one.
  • Room on screen for YouTube's end screen elements if it's a long video.

Intros that don't waste the first seconds

On YouTube the first seconds decide whether people stay, so a long logo sting before the hook costs viewers. Keep a logo intro short, or put it after the hook, where it marks the start of the video proper. The logo intro sequence and extruded logo run five to six seconds; trim them on the timeline if that's too long.

The ending, made with the video

When you paste a script that ends on a call to action ("Follow for more"), the planner turns that last scene into our outro card with your channel's words. In the editor, the Ending pack puts a quote, the follow card and the outro in a row.

Questions

How long should a YouTube outro be?

Five to twenty seconds. YouTube's end screen elements can show in the last 5 to 20 seconds of a video, so a long video's outro should leave that much room; a Short needs only a second or two.

Is an outro the same as an end screen?

No. The outro is part of your video file. The end screen is the set of clickable elements (videos, subscribe, playlists) YouTube Studio lays over its last seconds.

Can I put my handle and follower count on it?

The follow card takes a name, a handle and a follower count that ticks up, with a Follow button that gets pressed.
