Agreed, I love the quick intro. However when the video is longer (maybe 20 mins or so) I wouldn’t mind the 10-15 second intro, especially if it gives you a little preview of what’s going to happen later.

Thank you for being so transparent and generous with the wealth of knowledge you’ve obtained bro. Sheeesh

more than I needed at this time. not ready to go into finer details of intros, video editing, etc.

Great information Ben I never really thought intros were a good thing for our channels. Simple is better

Thank you Ben! I have actually been thinking a lot about this. I even got a quote to have an intro like your 20-second one made. This was very helpful.

Great presentation, complete with what, why, and how. Includes excellent marketing tips too. Surprising what you can convey in 2 seconds, and it reminds me of the 10-second "Elevator Speech" we practiced in Sales. I loved the MotionVFX specific presets you identified as I'm sure I will find similar effects in the MotionVFX pkgs I have for DaVinci Resolve. Thanks for preparing and sharing!

Finally, someone who understands intros that are more than 3 seconds is 2 seconds too long!

Thank u for what u have done for me You don't know me I don't know you but you have helped me so much on my social media and podcast journey Thank you

I’m also new to final cut so that part really helped me out!!! Thank you 🙏🏾

I'm new to your channel and loving it here already... about time i gain knowledge off you... thanks ever so much Mr Ben... oh yeah, what program qre you using on this one...??

Love your content brother! Thanks a bunch for sharing 👍

Awesome! I had a long opener (30 seconds 😬) and recently cut it to 10 seconds. Your video helps me know I need to do more to rethink the intro itself. QUESTION... did changing the CODEC allow you the transparent attribute on your export? Or is it the gray space in the primary storyline? I've always had solid black clip in my blank space and never knew you could export with the transparency! GOLD!!

I literally just started watching your video that teaches us how to do a KZfaq intro video 🤣🤣

Hi Ben, I LOVE your content. I am wondering how do you create content the way this video is. What I am asking especifically is how do you share your screen, and then have your face tutorial in the circular video on the bottom right. It looks SO AMAZING!!! Please, TEACH ME!!!

Hey Ben, thank you for always uploading topics that are very helpful. Does this apply to gaming channels and what additional tips would you have for such a channel. thanks !!

Great video, thanks for providing the details!!

Quality stuff Ben, as always 🙌🔥

I love your channel so much!

I feel like tiktok has ruined people’s attention spam so the era of long KZfaq intros is over and done for

Thanks for the info 👍

soo informative. I have question though. when you use a template into or any other template, there would be other creators using it right? Won't it become annoying for subscribers as they would have seen that intro already in some other channel?

Thank you Ben I’m starting a second channel for Tech and also a channel for my son so your content really helps me out Also quick question what picture profile do you suggest on the zv1 and ZVE10? I think you mentioned it before but I just can’t remember

This is good but I think the intro of this video could be even FASTER. Cut out the small pauses between sentences so people with short attention spans get hooked lmao

Thanks for this video!

Thanks! Very helpful! Question: Would you get the same result with a compound clip instead of an export?

Yessirr, good stuff 💯

Hi, the Final cut pro templates are they compatible in Adobe Premier pro please cause they are not availables for premier pro in motionfx

Lots of love from India 🇮🇳 ben.

perfect

i think i will need to transition from imovie to final cut it’s so much more options

- If an intro feels like an intro, it's too long - 99.99% of videos do not need them - If you're sat there thinking you're the 0.01%, I'll almost guarantee you aren't The other thing that kills things for me, is when someone has titled their video well and has expanded on what's in the video in the description. Then the first section starts and it's "In this video I'm going to blah blah blah..." Drop that crap, get straight to the content ffs

An intro should at most be a thesis statement. A condensed package that lets the viewer know what content is on the video so they can choose to watch it or click off. Otherwise, for most types of video, the title is sufficient. I already know what I’m expecting from the video since I searched for it, and the relevant title made me click. A three-minute intro is wasting my life

Would this work for a health content creator? Just can't seem to nail a perfect 5second into 🤷‍♀️

What is the program or software you're using????

2:41 click here for a description of my channel 😂

I love you 🇮🇶

I like creators getting right to the damn point. I hate long intros. Jesus chris start talking about your headline tppic already. OR at leasr keep the intro super short. Not directing this at you, just youtubers in general.

What about an intor for beauty tip a simple one can it be done like this just wanna know ☺️🫤💁
