YouTube: Create Outro - the best tips and ideas
Creating an outro for YouTube will help make your videos more engaging and attract more people to your channel. We will show you the relevant tips and a few ideas.
Create an endcard as a YouTube outro
An end card as an outro is a very good way to present your further content to viewers.
- You can create a completely personalized picture for this purpose, in which you leave frames for another video.
- On the endcard in the YouTube outro, you can link viewers to your last video or take them to your other social media channels.
- In the picture in this section you will find an endcard that we have created as an example.
- You just have to put this at the end of your video. You can do this in your video editing program.
- Then upload the video to YouTube. But first set it to "Private" so that you can still edit it accordingly.
- Then click on "My Channel" and then on "Video Manager".
- Now you can give your video the appropriate links under "Credits and Comments".
- When you are done, confirm the whole thing and make further changes. Of course, you don't have to do this if you are already satisfied with your content.
- With the technical know-how, you can even animate your endcard and add cool effects.
How to use the outro for a few laughs
When you upload a video, you can include funny moments as "outtakes" in the outro.
- When editing and editing, you will definitely notice some things that could be fun for the viewer.
- For example, if you make a DIY video and something doesn't work, it could be funny.
- Or maybe you notice that you breathe in astonishingly often? You can also cut out all the breathing sounds that you would have cut out of the voice-over as outtakes.
- With a few fun effects or amusing music, you can give the viewer one last laugh.
- Outtakes also show a certain humanity. This is very important, especially on YouTube, because everything unsightly can be cut out of the videos.
- Tip: Stand by your mistakes and don't take yourself too seriously.
Rules of conduct for a YouTube outro
- It is a no-go to beg for likes and subscriptions.
- A simple "If you liked the video, please leave me some feedback. And subscribe if you want more." is enough.
- It is clearly too much of a good thing if a "Subscribe!" Button is opened every 5 seconds in your video.
- This not only annoys the viewers, but does not testify to particularly good video quality. After all, try to distract from it with large, red buttons.
- One or two such requests are perfectly reasonable. After all, you also want someone to comment or subscribe to you. But don't overdo it.
- Under no circumstances should you use music in the outro that is louder than your actual video. Here you have to be very careful when editing.
- Because it can scare viewers if you have spoken in the video at room volume and then a loud song is played in your outro.
