1. Essential Elements of a YouTube Intro

A great intro typically includes three main elements:

1. The Background Image
2. The Text (usually your channel name)
3. Social Media Handles and Links (or your website)

We'll create a basic intro using these elements and throw in some special effects for flair.

2. Selecting Your Background Image

Even though this is a CapCut tutorial, our first step is to use another free app called Pexels. This app provides free stock photos and videos, perfect for our background.

Step-by-Step:

1. Open Pexels and search for "graphic."
2. Switch to the video tab and select a suitable video clip.
3. Download the video in 1920 by 1080p resolution.

1. Open CapCut and start a new project.
2. Import the video clip you downloaded from Pexels.
3. Now, add text by clicking the Text button.

Adding and Customizing Text:

1. Enter your channel name in full caps.
2. Customize the text's style, font, shadow, and spacing.
3. Select and apply entrance and exit animations.

4. Adding Keyframes and Animations

1. Add keyframes to create zoom effects or other animations.
2. Apply an in-animation (such as a blur) and out-animation (such as a glitch effect).

5. Adding Social Media Icons

1. Head over to a browser and search for PNG images of Facebook, Instagram, and TikTok logos.
2. Save these images and import them as overlays in CapCut.
3. Resize and position your icons, then add in-and-out animations.

6. Adding Special Effects

1. Select a suitable effect like TV Off from the video effects section in CapCut.
2. Apply it at the right moment to add a finishing touch to your intro.

7. Adding Music

You can use copyright-free music found on YouTube or a service like Epidemic Sound. Adding suitable music will significantly enhance your intro.
