A YouTube intro is a short branded clip at the start of a video that shows the channel name, logo or show title before the content begins. Most YouTube intros last 3 to 10 seconds, so they introduce the channel without delaying the video. ### What is a YouTube outro? A YouTube outro is the closing clip of a video that thanks the viewer, repeats the channel name and makes room for a subscribe prompt or a link to the next video. Outros often run 10 to 20 seconds so YouTube end screen elements have time to appear, and Potto works as a YouTube outro maker in the same style as your intro. ### What is a YouTube intro maker? A YouTube intro maker is a tool that turns your channel name, logo and a short description into a finished intro clip without editing it frame by frame. Potto's YouTube intro maker uses AI to plan the motion from your brief, renders a preview and revises it when you ask. ### How do I make a YouTube intro from a template idea? Choose Use this prompt on a YouTube intro in the gallery on this page, then replace the channel name, logo and tagline in the brief with your own. Potto renders its own version, so it will not match the original exactly. Ask for changes in the chat, such as a different color or a faster title, then export when the preview looks right. ### How long should a YouTube intro be? A YouTube intro should usually be 5 to 10 seconds so viewers reach the content quickly. Potto makes intros and outros of 5, 10 or 15 seconds, starting at 10 seconds in 16:9. ### What do I need to make an intro or outro? The YouTube intro maker needs only your channel or brand name; a logo and a tagline are optional. Upload the logo as an SVG to have it drawn stroke by stroke, or as a PNG, JPEG or WebP for wipes, scale-ins and light sweeps. ### Which formats can I export an intro in? You can export an intro or outro as an MP4, as a transparent WebM or MOV to place over your own footage, or as a GIF. Transparent files have no sound, and GIFs are made at 720 pixels on the short side. ### Can I make a YouTube Shorts intro? Yes. Switch the ratio to 9:16 and keep the intro at 5 seconds, because Shorts viewers decide quickly whether to keep watching. The same channel name, logo and colors carry over from your 16:9 intro. ### Does a YouTube intro come with music or a voiceover? A YouTube intro comes with music but no voiceover or captions: Potto picks a track from its music library to match the style, and you can swap it or choose None. Turn on a voiceover when you create the video if the intro should speak; transparent WebM and MOV exports have no sound. ### How much does a YouTube intro cost? A YouTube intro or outro costs credits only when you export it: 25 credits for 5 seconds, 50 for 10 seconds and 75 for 15 seconds. MP4, transparent WebM or MOV, and GIF cost the same, and a voiceover adds a few credits based on its length. To start, your balance must cover the length you choose at 5 credits per second, and new accounts get 100 credits, enough to start a 15-second video.
