| spemanig said: 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. |
I'll keep that in mind, but as somebody active within the YouTube gaming community I have to point out a large swath of channels that run a similar length of intro. The length of the intro is currently going to vary depending on the game at hand and other factors, with this one probably the absolute longest it'd ever be due to the New Challenger bit I did, which isn't going to be a thing after this.
Like I said, nothing is static within the channel outside of the concept of the format itself - there will be cold opens when they work, the intro will be shorter to fit a shorter review, et alia.
You should check out my YouTube channel, The Golden Bolt! I review all types of video games, both classic and modern, and I also give short flyover reviews of the free games each month on PlayStation Plus to tell you if they're worth downloading. After all, the games may be free, but your time is valuable!
