One thing that a lot of UA-camrs don't understand is that the growth of a channel takes time. Nothing happens overnight and you're gonna need to nurture your channel like a plant. You need to water it daily, provide sunshine, and most importantly, have patience! 👌🏻

Thank you for saying the very most important tip, people’s attention span…I have said this so many times when watching other people’s videos and even this video is exactly what I want to watch. I do understand there are times you may need to go a little longer but make sure it’s related to the title. Thank you for sharing and first time watching and new subscriber!

[@MiaHessMusic]

I'm OK with paying for a nice one. Truly. And I'm fairly frugal. Better than paying my life away for After Effects or Premiere Pro. I gave enough of myhard-earned money to Adobe for PS and LR. I don't mind dropping $10 for a really nice intro vid.

[@timokiander7961]

I love this tutorial, but I have a question. As you know, the intro is just part of the channel's overall branding. But things should look consistent. So not just the intro but a logo, a channel header/banner, thumbnails, etc. As a beginner, I feel this is a huge energy drainer: I can do a fancy-looking thumbnail, but the look is often inconsistent with the rest of the elements (when using the DIY approach). Just hoping there was a one-stop shop that would do all the branding at once.

Justin, thank you SO MUCH for reminding me about PlaceIt!
Duh. I have a monthly subscription and completely forgot about it! Double Duh!!
Made a really nice Intro/Outtro vid in about 6 minutes and it's so cute! I do singing and ukulele videos as I wanted something cute or very retro or very old-fashioned. The cute little rainbow cat goes great with my "cat with glasses" logo I had made with, your guessed it, PlaceIt. Perfect; since I wear glasses.
Only thing I forgot is to make the intro faster, which is 1.5 speed.
If I wasn't colorblind, I could make even cooler stuff, LOL!
Thanks again!!! Even though I forget I have it, it's worth the $15 a month.
Note To Self: Must remember I have PlaceIt.
