[@gregorypease213]

Bravo, Zack! Fantastic idea, and a great way to share in a real way. As far as intros go, they usually become annoying after the first time. The "canned" ones have become like splash pages were back in medieval age of the interwebs - a waste of bandwidth and the viewer's time. I clicked the link. I know what the channel is. I probably have a good idea of what the episode is about if the title is meaningful. Canned intros are another example of the "branding" excesses bombarding us from every direction. An old journalism professor once told us, "Don't waste the reader's time telling them what you're going to write about. Hook them with the first sentence." If an intro isn't a hook, it's just fluff.

[@MrHaroldo50]

Absolutely agree about intros -- too often they're a self-aggrandizing waste of time. We don't need a reminder about credentials, etc especially if we're a returning viewer. Share your content, cut to the chase. And thanks for sharing these other channels!

[@ZackAriasATL]

I’m sorry about that! Love your channel!

[@MSladekPhoto]

Thanks for the feature at #30 on your playlist. What great company. There goes my weekend, with all those new channels to explore! Regarding intro/outro - I'm a firm "no intro" believer. Integrate a "hook" as often as possible to the video, but pre-roll not needed. Outro - the post-roll can be a helpful deep link opportunity for YT viewers and the algorithm. No harm if people skip, and minimal effort to create a template. Cheers!

[@MattSpaugh]

I feel honored to be listed among so many great content creators. Thanks Zack! Oh, and my two cents on the intro/outro debate: I like to try and shoot my videos in various sets/locations so I think that having a short repeating intro (after my quick teaser) helps to keep some measure of consistency to my content. That said, I'm due to update mine.

[@stephaneaudet5444]

Amazing, spreading the love!!

[@MilitiaDei]

Your quarantine hair rocks, and don't let anyone tell you otherwise, my man.

[@AdrianBacon]

If it’s just you, no intro or outro required. If you have a guest or cohost, a simple quick text flyover IDing everybody is nice. If you have helpers (e.g. video editor, etc), it’s a little grey, but even then, if you did, put it at the end as a bottom third credits as you’re wrapping up the video. I hosted several weekly audio and video podcasts for the better part of 10 years a number of years ago and never did intros or outros and never once had an audience member comment about it.

[@WILDANDSTORY]

Thank you for adding me to the playlist Zack. Got a little endorphin hit seeing my channel in the playlist. Just the boost I needed to get back at making videos after a long lay off due to an injury. I even went and set up a little studio in the attic room to get started while my knee heels. I definitely agree with having shorter intros particularly if a new channel. Even a simply “In this video...” Outro’s are good for call to actions like click on this playlist etc but I find the best Outro creeps up and leaves you wanting more. Thanks again 🤘

[@ZackAriasATL]

Best of luck on your recovery!

[@lifetimesofamultiplemediam1003]

Props again Mr Arias!… especially for the big-ups!… but mainly for just being you!… I'm personally enjoying my Loc-down hair (see what I did there)… Locs are meant to grow down methinks, and yes until all the madness is over, we can have a virtual Zoom black coffee or whatever LOL!… ps.

[@ZackAriasATL]

Might just have to take you up on that zoom coffee!

[@qnetx]

Thank you for all the new material to explore. I agree with you on the intro/outro, I've started skipping ahead on those for channels I watch regularly. The ones I dislike the most are the two minute B-roll of making, pouring, and sipping coffee or tea.

[@LilPackrat]

Hi Zack! Thanks for sharing the love :) just wanted to drop a line to let you know this was really exciting for me to be a part of the share & show playlist!!

[@ZackAriasATL]

Love your channel! Keep up the great work!

[@caveman5964]

I think into and outro are more tradition than anything.... We used to get a short piece of a TV show and then a piano would start playing and the "Cheers" theme song would kick in while we watched the credits. Anymore, I'm kinda impartial but... A 10 second intro is prefect for KZbin as KZbin allows a 10 second fast forward. 😉 These videos and their own playlist is awesome. A community helping it's self is just wonderful. Thank you.

Always wonderful unique episodes Zack, thanks again! It is nice to see something different and supportive like this piece. I agree totally with your thoughts about intros and outros. Immediately get to the content, don't loose 'em during the opening credits. Q: Does your beard grow at the same rate as your top deck? Lookin good ...

[@ZackAriasATL]

Thanks for sharing your thoughts! As for my beard, I think it is growing slower than my top deck.

[@bobk3d]

I'm totally with you on the intros. If it's a canned intro, five seconds max. I like where you're headed... if you can do an interesting 3-5 seconds of spoken intro for each video, show a logo, say your name or channel name, that's what I'd call ideal. I may waste a lot of time on KZbin, but my time is still valuable.

[@ZackAriasATL]

That last line! 🙌❤️🙌

[@HelenMcLean]

Thanks again for including my non-photo related channel - I just acquired 2 more subs 😊 I'm on the fence about intros/outros, some work for me and others do seem too long. I don't think I'll create one for mine, but I am considering doing voice over videos in the future (to add personality to it, maybe it's boring without??)

[@FabrizioZago]

Hi Zack, thanks again for putting me in your playlist, much appreciated. It's a pleasure to be together with some amazing creators. Regarding the intro, I also think it's not really necessary bu nevertheless I have the intro because I may need some videos in the future outside of the youtube world and so when it's time I don't need to re-edit them by adding an intro.

[@Dmogul]

I want to do away with an intro or maybe make it 3 seconds max

[@wadegbow]

intros are something i just instinctually attempt to skip but a well designed outro is great. i like when it's just a nice graphic and links to the creators other content, it makes me more likely to stick to that channel when i'm on a youtube binge.

[@JayDowney]

I have a Strong opinion about intro/outros, lol. But first, great vid, I will check the playlist! As far as intros/outros go, I gave up 2 "adpocalypses" ago when youtube started flagging my vids for the music that I used in them. I made the music in Reason 4 & 5 and had my own LP! had to appeal all the flags and prove I made the damn music! After that I stopped bothering with intros. I'll usually keep my outro as it gives "time" for the various cards/widgets to run (the playlist, suggested vid, subscribe cards)

[@ZackAriasATL]

I totally get that. I have licensed my music for all of my videos and they will get flagged at times and it’s a pain to get flag removed. I still need to figure out cards and all that at the end of the video.

[@JayDowney]

@@ZackAriasATL It's almost like services like "EP Sound" have some sort of back room, cigar smoking, deal with google,... ;) I use an extension called Tube buddy, it allows you to make a template or 2 for the end cards and after that just a couple clicks and it adds it on to the end. Also helps with tags, thumbnails, all sorts of stuff.

[@KeriBeal]

F*ck yeah, what a great video with loads of interesting new channels to follow, thanks for doing this and sharing it with us! Intros - totally agree, only one i don't find annoying is Peter Mckinnon's Outros - something is needed for people like me who use AppleTV, where is an ordeal to like a video, an end slate (think that's what they are called) like you have on this video was perfect for this. Cheers as always, stay safe and keep up the good work!

[@ZackAriasATL]

Thanks Keri!

[@JohnMayfield-NS]

Great vid an opportunity for the folks you spotlighted. I'll be picking up a few for sure. Intro/outro - on vlogs I agree, not really necessary and I tend to skip them anyway when they're of any length. After I've seen them a couple times there's no need to anymore. If you're doing a stylized short film or something like that (not a talking head) I think an intro/outro works because it's more movie-like.

[@ZackAriasATL]

I’m feeling most people tend to skip them as well.

[@MrCameraJunkie]

Great Video, In my short time on KZbin I've noticed that intros are a disservice to my content. I'm still on the fence about Outros. 🤔

If the intro present something about the particular video you're watching, sure, then it adds something.

Some tubers ask people to subscribe etc right at the beginning. That's stupid, and anyone who subscribes at that point is stupid. You have to earn my support by providing whatever I cam to you for.
