Don\u2019t just let your video fade to black! There\u2019s so much more that you can do with those last few seconds of your YouTube video to capture and keep an audience\u2019s attention. Read on to learn how to make an effective YouTube outro.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It\u2019s no secret that likes, views, and subscribes matter on YouTube. Whether it\u2019s YouTube\u2019s algorithm or simply viewers browsing the sidebar, these are the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/elements.envato.com\/learn\/video-marketing-guide\/video-measurement\" data-type=\"URL\" data-id=\"https:\/\/elements.envato.com\/learn\/video-marketing-guide\/video-measurement\">video metrics<\/a>\u00a0that can help your channel gain more momentum and keep growing. An impactful YouTube outro video can help you grow any and all of these channel metrics. Find out how else you can improve your performance on YouTube with our\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/elements.envato.com\/learn\/how-to-promote-your-youtube-channel\">guide to promoting your YouTube channel<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What is an Outro?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A YouTube outro can take a variety of forms, so let\u2019s think about some ideas that will help you develop an eye-catching close.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/channel\/UC7IcJI8PUf5Z3zKxnZvTBog\" target=\"_blank\">The School of Life\u2019s YouTube channel<\/a>&nbsp;uses animated graphics and thoughtful commentary to illustrate ideas. The videos close smoothly with placards to promote other content from the channel. It\u2019s simple, but it\u2019s easy to find yourself jumping onto the next video.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-youtube wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe title=\"Where Are the Creative Jobs?\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/qFAj22RyHw0?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Some YouTube outros conclude with an on-camera personality asking for channel likes or subscriptions. Other times, channels will use clickable overlays that you can add inside the browser-based tool, with links to other channels. Any of these are an evolution over simply fading your video out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In short: it\u2019s important to think of an \u201cask\u201d of your audience. That might be asking them to subscribe, share, or like the video. It doesn\u2019t have to be a direct ask, though; there are tactful ways to promote your other content easily.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">All of these \u201casks\u201d are built on the back of eye-catching visuals. Let\u2019s learn how to build something compelling to tack onto the end of your YouTube videos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to Make an Outro<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Video production takes knowledge and practice to get right. Most YouTube channels are so well put together now that if you don\u2019t create a professional YouTube outro, yours will stick out like a sore thumb.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The problem is that you may not have the time or interest to learn an entirely new app in order to build a YouTube outro. You\u2019re already spending all of your free time producing engaging YouTube content, and animating an outro from scratch just isn\u2019t the best use of your time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Let\u2019s learn two ways of creating a YouTube outro in less time than ever before. No matter what level of knowledge you have about video editing, you can build an eye-catching outro.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">YouTube Outro Maker<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you don\u2019t want to learn a brand new app from scratch, no problem; the solution is a browser-based tool called&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/placeit.net\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>Placeit<\/strong><\/a>, which you can use to create an outro, hassle-free. If you can point and click, you can create a customized YouTube outro that will help you make the most of those last few seconds of a video.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There\u2019s nothing specific about a YouTube outro video; you need only a few eye-catching visuals and space to promote a subscription button and you\u2019ll see your channel grow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On Placeit, you can use a number of templates to get a head start in designing your YouTube outro. Here are several starting points you can launch to make an outro easily:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><a href=\"https:\/\/placeit.net\/c\/videos\/stages\/content-teaser-slideshow-maker-for-an-economics-video-presentation-830\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">1. Content Teaser Slideshow<\/a><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Discover the potential that this starting point holds for your YouTube outro video. Even though this might be used for an infographics video by default, I think it makes the perfect YouTube outro, where you can provide a few more key facts and data points to help hook your viewers into future videos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><a href=\"https:\/\/placeit.net\/c\/videos\/stages\/celebration-youtube-intro-maker-with-firework-animations-1045\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">2. Celebration YouTube Outro Maker<\/a><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Fireworks and animation combine to hold your audience\u2019s attention at the end of your main video. It\u2019s the perfect backdrop for additional commentary to cap your video, and you can use it to ask for subscribes and likes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><a href=\"https:\/\/elements.envato.com\/graphic-templates\/real+estate+business+card\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">3. YouTube Ad Video Maker<\/a><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With a bit of customization, this might just be the best choice for making your YouTube outro. Sure, the default view is tailored to building an advertisement with a product photo, but a more compelling use would be to drop that image and use the free space for subscribe cards that you add in YouTube. It\u2019s a great reminder of how flexible Placeit\u2019s templates can be.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">YouTube Outro Templates<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While Placeit is an outro maker that lives right inside your web browser, it\u2019s not the only option for producing a YouTube outro. If you already know how to use an animation and production app like Adobe After Effects, this might be your best bet. You\u2019ll get complete creative control, but skip much of the work that\u2019s typically involved with animation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1.
