Okay, so the question today we're going to talk about is how to make a YouTube

video intro animation thing like you're going to see right now. See? That just

makes me... It just... It... You know, so we ask the question why have one of

those? The juices are our phone. You know what I mean? Like, I just watched that and I'm

like, "I'm excited to hear what Nate has to say. With those little robotic voices

and the ♫♪Chink chink♫♪. It's exciting. -It definitely it brings an

energy because you got some music especially in these videos, we're just

talking. So, it adds some life to the videos. It also creates some

branding and some consistency. For people who have not watched this video or any

videos on this channel before, it kind of shows them a glimpse into what this

channel is all about. -I have a... There's a young man that lives in my neighborhood who

watches my stuff. You can see my little videos here. And you'll watch the opening

thing that Nate's company made for me. And... And he says, "That's my favorite part

of your whole..." He says, "I pretty much turn it off after you and your wife come on."

Or what. He says he likes the little opening squiggles. Yeah, that's...

-I called a video logo. Sometimes you call it an opener. -An intro, yeah. Like

a little music stinger. Yeah. -Alright. So we're going to show you how to make one of

those. Alright. Surprise, surprise. When I'm going to

have you do some research. And let's come here to After Effects. And let's come

down here to openers. Well you're in... What is videohive.net? That's... This is the

site where... -It's the companion, audio jungle that we talked about a video... Just

this is where you get video clips but we're looking specifically now for

openers. And I prefer... Let me show you again. If you come over here to After

Effects, you can do premiere promo... Premiere Pro openers. But After Effects,

if you have... If your editor or you know how to use After Effects, you can control

more. You can change the colors, you can switch out a little bit more than what

you can just do premiere pro. -Okay. -Either way, we're going to

come here to after-effects openers. We're already on that page. And what you can do

is just hover over it. Oh, I need a... Unmute or yeah. So now, when I hover over it,

you'll actually hear music. You get a little bit of filled with that openers

like. So, you can go through and find ones that you like and when you like them, I

recommend just opening them. And opening them in another tab so you can... And then

go back and review the ones that you like. The goal here is not to use the

full thing. I mean, you see here this one's 33 seconds long. This one's only 10

seconds. But this one's a minute in 3 seconds long. You want your video logo to

be like 3, 4, 5, 6 seconds. Something like that. I mean, sometimes 10 seconds is

going to be a stretch. But for people that come back and watch episode after

episode after episode, if you've got a 30 second opener, what I do on on those

channels is I just... -Look ahead. -So I don't end up watching it anyway. So... -Shorter the

better. Yeah, for sure. -So, I'll typically... Let's say that I

really like this one. -Now, the actual footage here is not what you're getting,

right? Because you're not going to show this. You want the template or something. -Good

point. So, you're... You buy the template, you'll actually then bring in your own

music. You could go and purchase the exact music that's with the sample. But

you'll bring in your own music and you'll bring in your own photos or video

footage, video clips to use in there. So, these are just samples. And where it

says, typography there or motive motion. You're going to put in your own words that

relate to your brand. -Okay, so when you buy it you download this template file

that's an aftereffect file. And then you just import it into after

effect and it's already set up for you to layer over your own video? -So, this

is... This is basically a shortcut. You can go into After Effects and create your

own animations. But these ones are pretty awesome. I mean,

there's 15, 844 just on this website that we can dive through and really find

something that we... That we like. That really matches what we're going for.

-So, my photos and my video will do what those ones just did. To kind of the

snap, zoom and the blur. Okay. -So, when we're launching a new channel with one

of our new clients, we'll have them provide us some photos

or some video clips. Obviously, we would have filmed with them at least one time

to get started. So, we have some video footage. And we'll then dive in here,

we'll purchase one of these templates and then my team will go in and they'll

they'll change out the words, they'll change out the photos and the clips. And

here's a cool strategy that we'll do. You know, if we've got a 30-second opener

template, we might take 5 seconds early on, another 5 seconds here and

another 5 seconds here and create 3 different versions. Just kind of

mix it up. -Yeah. -So, on one episode, we'll use this opener. On another episode, we'll

use this opener. It's going to have a similar theme but it mixes it up. Well,

and we'll throw in different photos. So, with one of my clients, a lot of her

topics are you know, talking to the camera... Kind of talking on deep topics

like how to overcome trauma and whatnot. And the image that she wants to portray

is that you can overcome this. "I've experienced great trauma, but now I live

a vibrant life." And how do we show that? Well, in the video logo,

we've... She's got photos of her riding a motorcycle, photos of her scuba diving

with hammerhead sharks. And we didn't want to you know, in a 6 second, five or

6 second... We did... We didn't want to just put all of those, you know adventure type

shots. But in one video logo, we showed her with the sharks. You know, so we

showed her at a desk, we showed her working with people, in a group and with

sharks. The next one, we swapped out the shark photo and we put in on a

motorcycle. And on another one, we put in another action. So, that way, people that

are watching these episodes get to see all sides of her that's just one

strategy we do is we create a few different videos logos. -I think it's a good

idea. Yeah, the variety. Yeah. -This is where you start. Find a temple that you want to

use for your video logo. And then step 2 would be to match it with the music.

If say, I really liked the music from this one.

Yeah, that's probably not the music I would choose. Well, let's say I liked it.

-Just a for instance. I'll open this in a new tab. -You don't have to marry it. -Okay,

so. That one's in a new tab. And then let's say, I like the visuals on this one.

I'll open up this one. But I'll mute.

Okay. So, this one's muted. But I come over here and I hit play on this one. So, now

we get the audio and I switch back. So, now we're... We're looking at the visuals

from 1 but hearing the audio from the other. Alright. See, if I pause this, the

audio still keeps going. That's funny. So anyway, you can mix and match the audio.

When you buy a template, it doesn't come with the audio file even though it's

playing as a sample with it. So first step, find the template that you want and

then gather some photos. Kind of a good variety or... Video clips are even better.

If you have them of you know, a photo of you standing on top of a mountain is

cool. But if there's a video of you staying around, that's even better. -Yeah.

Because just a second of it but just a little bit of motion. -Sweep, yeah. -So,

that's how you do it. So, for me coming from you know, a professional video

production company, that's how we do it. We just buy a template, we used to go

through and create. But... -That's a lot of work. -Yeah, it's a lot of work and you

don't get as good of results. Just by a template. -Most of you probably aren't

that creative to be your own animator. So, the template way. -Of course, be sure to
