I'm going to give you some advice, and I mean this with the absolute best of intentions.

Cut.

Your.

Intro.

It's way too long. Like 23 seconds too long. I get it. You worked hard on it. You're probably proud of it. Cut it. Make it 3 seconds absolute max. You do not need near 30 seconds of intro to introduce yourself or your channel. You know that last bit you used? The black screen with just your logo and nothing else? Use that. Seriously, its fine.

If your audience isn't completely engaged within the first 15 seconds of your video, they will not stick around to watch the rest of it. Overlong intro's will guarantee that will never happen. Again, I say this will the best of intentions. You're a part of VGC, which means I want you to succeed. Cut the intro.
