Three steps, a couple of minutes
Pick a template
Kinetic titles, logo reveals and openers made for 16:9 YouTube.

Download the MP4 and drop it at the start of every upload.
Why use CutLuma for this
Fast by design
The templates run 3–5 seconds, long enough to be recognised and short enough that nobody skips.
Matching outro
Reuse the same template as an end card with your subscribe line and next-video title.
Shorts too
Switch the canvas to 9:16 and the same intro re-flows for YouTube Shorts.
Questions? Answers.
How long should a YouTube intro be?
Three to five seconds. Viewers decide whether to stay in the first few seconds, so get to the content fast.
Can I use my own music?
Yes. Drop your own file onto the timeline, or pick a royalty-free sting from the built-in stock library.
Is the intro watermarked?
Free exports carry a small badge in the corner. Paid plans remove it and unlock 60 fps and 4K.
