Should you use intros?

Up until a month ago, I would have a title page for 5 seconds. Lately, I just get right into the action. I put "A Race Grooves Presentation" within the first 20 seconds.

Oh ok. Thank you!

Ohhh I see! Looks really cool! How do you do that? Like make the videos play within your video. Thank you!

Just a standard PIP effect, with a border and drop shadow - then add the annotation once uploaded to YouTube.

I think it is a good thing if you are doing a series or if you grow to a medium sized channel because that shows the audience that you put effort to keeping your content organized and looking good The thing about intros though is to grab the audience's attention and usually I would keep it to no more than 5-6 seconds since you don't want to bore the audience out..

I think Intros are great when they are short and when you change them up a lot.
For my intros I show a quick 5-10 second clip of the funniest part of the video and then it says "earlier that day" and then the video starts like normal.

Very nice! I have done that a few times but not regularly. Changing up the presentations keeps it fresh for our regular viewers.

i would say no intro. but if you got a huge fanbase then you could do it because they know whats behind the intro!

I just like intros because it looks cool and it's sorta like putting your name on the video stating you made it or it's yours.
What I tend to do the intros that i make I either use them as intros or outros (some may not look good as one or the other)
