 The opportunities are endless and the only limit is your imagination.

 Our video editor gives you 2 (or 3 for some templates) different options for video editing and creation:

 manually choosing and adding a scene, using ready-made videos (presets), and automated video creation (AI-based tool).

When you finalize and render your video, you can publish it on YouTube directly from the editor. 

Your video will appear on your channel as “unlisted” so that you can further edit it and make it public.

Depending on your subscription plan, you can create a certain number of HD720, and HD1080 videos and unlimited 360p videos with watermarks.

YouTube Intros and End Screens

Why do you need intros and logo animations? Well, it goes without saying that intros are part of your brand and show that you are very dedicated to your channel.

With an impressive intro, you can stay in the minds of your audience for a long time. 

Your channel will be associated with your intro.

 And whenever people see it, they will know that the video they’re watching belongs to your channel.

You can choose a simple intro or a powerful one with fire and explosions, it all depends on your brand image. 

If you have a themed channel, you can choose an animation based on your niche, like tech, fashion, travel, etc.

End screens on the other hand help you keep your viewers interested. 

With end screens, you can ask your viewers to watch another video related to the current one or go to the playlist with many other videos that they might be interested in.

 You can add a subscribe button and prompt them to hit it (why not?).

When publishing your video, YouTube gives you an option to choose end screens, or upload your own.

Creating Thumbnails for YouTube Videos

Thumbnails can make or break the success of your video. 

This is why you need custom thumbnails that will perfectly present the contents of your video and attract more clicks. 

They appear in search results, on your channel page, when you share your videos on different platforms, etc. 

So it’s basically the first thing that people see of your video and channel in general. 

Keeping your thumbnail style consistent is part of your channel branding strategy.
