How to create a YouTube intro for free using Canva
0:04
Hi guys, welcome back to another video and in this video, I'm going to be showing you how you can create your very own YouTube intro for free using Canva
0:12
So having said that, let's just jump into the video. So first things, first, what you're going to do is you're going to open up your camera right here
0:18
And then what you're going to do is you're just simply going to come over here and you could either search over here in the search bar for a YouTube video
0:25
or what you can do is you could come over here at the design spotlight and
0:30
Under photos and videos, you could go ahead and select YouTube video editor
0:34
Now, I'm not sure if that is available in the free version because I do have the pro version
0:39
But nevertheless, we're just completely going to go ahead and search for YouTube intro right here
0:45
Just in case, here we go, YouTube intros right here, or you could go with YouTube channel logo
0:51
Actually, YouTube channel art is much more preferable. As you can see, you have YouTube banner as well, YouTube banner
0:57
But we could either go with YouTube channel. channel art or YouTube intro
1:02
There we go. We just simply search for YouTube intro and we have our option right here
1:07
Now, we will have a bunch of different templates to choose from. You know, you could go ahead and select a template and build off of it, you know
1:16
change some elements, change some backgrounds, maybe the name and the color scheme
1:20
That way make it your own or you could just simply go ahead and click over here and create one from black
1:26
Now over here we have some bunch of different options. we could go ahead and look at and see how it looks or maybe select one like this one over here
1:34
This one is actually pretty cool, but it is pro, but you don't have to worry about that
1:40
You can also create this for free, but it won't have some pro elements
1:44
You could go with this one as well or this one as well. This one also looks really cool
1:49
You can go ahead and select any template you want. It depends on you
1:53
If you have like a talk show or a different show or a vlog type of channel, you could
1:58
go with something like this but if you have news related channel you could go with this type of
2:04
intro where you know pops up the news and stuff like that but yeah for me i really like this one
2:11
right here minimalistic doesn't really you know have any cool stuff to it very simple nothing too
2:17
crazy you could either go with that or you could go with the end screen right here very simple if you want a little bit of funky you could go with this one or dazzle like this one But anyway I chose this one
2:29
I've already opened it up another tab right here as you can see. So this is how it looks like
2:34
It's very simple. So we have one, two, three, four elements right here
2:38
And each of these elements, as you can see right here, four pages, they all look really cool
2:44
You can go ahead and customize it by clicking on customize this template
2:48
It's going to open up the canvas right here. So basically you could go ahead and add different elements to it, like effects
2:55
So I added a shadow effect, you know, as you can see right here, you go with the light effect if you want
3:00
I go with the neon color or glitch. It depends on you. But I think a simple shadow is much, much more better
3:08
Now, but I think a shadow, it looks much more better. Now, you could go ahead and do this or you could change it up, right
3:15
So it says, welcome to my channel. and then, you know, it changes to over here where you can add your main channel name
3:23
So simply add in the channel name and change the photo. You know, you click on edit photo or remove it
3:29
It depends on you. You can upload your own photo by just simply clicking on the upload right here and selecting whatever you want
3:39
So like uploading an image right here, you know, going, there we go
3:44
Just move it around and it goes back. You can move it around. It depends on you
3:48
After that, what you could do is just simply select the image, click on edit photo
3:53
You know, add a little bit of, you know, filters on it, maybe if you want, or you could just leave it as it is
4:00
And then just continue on with your other elements. And as always, like, if you're starting with a template, there's not a whole lot you could change
4:10
Like, you want to keep it the exact same way, but also maybe changing a few colors and maybe transitions
4:15
but generally speaking, that's all the only things that you can do. Now, if you're trying to create it from blank, which I am right here, it's also very simple
4:24
So for me, what I would suggest is maybe, like, I would just simply find a video, right
4:31
Like an animation type video, I could just simply search for it over here within the video section
4:37
You know I search for animation and maybe select a animation that you know fits with the theme of the channel like this one right here It a little bit fast but yeah let go ahead and try to find one like something like this we could add this as a background if we
4:54
want to you know it looks really cool or we could change it and add this right here let me actually
4:59
delete that one previous one let's play this one this one also looks really cool if you want
5:04
you can add this one it depends on you but i actually really like this one so we're going to keep
5:10
this one and we're going to remove this one we're going to just simply go ahead and
5:15
position it right over here there we go we can even edit the video as well you know
5:20
as you can see background remover as well but generally speaking this is it then we
5:26
could go into elements right and add different stuff to it and we could just simply
5:33
type or add different charts it depends on you but yeah we actually
5:40
don't need charts for now i think we'll just simply go with this and just simply add a text
5:46
element right over here and we'll just say welcome to go ahead and increase the size as well go ahead and
5:56
increase it to 42 maybe even 64 yeah i think 64 looks good we'll keep it right here we'll add a different
6:04
effect we'll add a shadow to it we'll change the font to something else
6:10
like this one right here. Yeah, this one looks much better. We'll keep it at that
6:15
And actually, maybe if we change the color to white, yeah, I think that looks much better
6:20
Increase it right here or put it right here. And we will also cut back the video to just actually a few seconds
6:31
You know, I would say maybe one or two seconds or even three
6:38
Yeah. And we'll click on Done. We'll click on another one and we'll also copy this background and we'll paste it if we can
6:47
And let me actually delete this. We actually duplicated it. So that works pretty well
6:54
And we also would like to add. And we add the name right here and we call it Profit Insights and we also place it right over here and change the color as well We go ahead and give it a white and also add this right here I think that looks much better Yeah And we will also add a transition right here Actually not a page
7:20
Add a transition by just hovering our mouse in between these two and the option pops up right
7:27
here. We'll click on add transition and we could either go with something like this or dissolve or
7:33
It depends on you, you know, or go with the wipe or stack, you know, slide, dissolve
7:40
But yeah, it depends on you. I think this one looks good
7:45
We'll go ahead and add a color wipe and we'll change the direction to this one
7:49
And we'll also add other ones as well. We can add a bunch of other stuff as well
7:54
But I think the color would look much better. And we can change the color as well to something else
8:00
like maybe this pinkish color or yellowish color. It depends on you
8:05
We'll go ahead and add like a yellow color and maybe a blue and maybe this pink color, this pale
8:14
Yeah. And then we have this white color as well, like this one
8:20
There we go. That looks much better. And once it's done, let's take a look at how it would look
8:26
So it's playing right here. we get the transition. Now it's loading up the other file
8:33
and then we have this one. Now we can add more elements as well
8:38
And next week, what we could do is we could add more elements or add a audio like here
8:43
We have different audios over here within Canva as well, so you could just simply add them and as a background
8:51
and you are good to go. So nothing too complicated. You just add a background and add a welcome screen
8:56
and add a channel name. and maybe a few elements as well, like you go into elements and you add a few other elements related to, you know, YouTube intros
9:09
Or if you want, you could just as always select template to begin with because as I said before, we have a bunch of different templates available to us right here
9:19
So very simple. That's how you do it. That's how you create a YouTube intro for using Canva for free
9:25
