Hello my lovely youtube followers by the end of this tutorial you'll know
exactly how to transform a rather dull and boring static youtube
end screen like mine was a short time ago into a
wonderfully engaging animated end screen like this
once i've walked you through step by step how to create an
animated youtube end screen we're going to pop over to youtube
and i'll show you exactly how to add your youtube end screen elements
all you'll need to do this tutorial is a canva account a 20 second video
snippet and your usual video editing tool i'll also be sharing a link
to a free canva template to help you out so make sure you keep watching so if
you're ready let's dive in start off with your blank
canva template you can see the frame here which is your safe area
and inside of this safe area will go all the necessary elements that you want to
include in your end screen this will be where you will add a link
to a video or a playlist and this will be your end screen
subscribe link once uploaded to youtube next i want to add a frame into which my
video snippet will go so head over to the sidebar and select
elements go down to grids and click on this
single grid here now just drag the side button here to
reduce it in size so that it covers about
half of your template like that now i need to upload my video snippet
into canva so to do that you go to the sidebar
again and click on uploads
and then click on this turquoise button here to upload an image or video
once uploaded you'll find your video snippet under the videos
tab and there it is so all you need to do to upload it onto
your template is to hold your cursor down and
literally drag it into the frame
if you want to reposition your video slightly double click on it
and you'll see that you can move it from side to side
i think that's about right just going to increase the width of the video
ever so slightly next what i want to do is change the color of this background
so i'm going to click on it once head over to the top left hand corner of
my toolbar click background color
and i'm going to change it to my brand pink color light pink
i think i'm going to make that ever so slightly lighter that's better
next what i did was i moved the subscription
link to the left hand side because i wanted to add some
text underneath here i wanted to let my viewers know where to find
me on instagram and i also added the name of my business
also the name of a playlist that i'm going to insert
right here after i've uploaded this to youtube it will all make
an awful lot of sense to you in just a moment to finish
up i added some little decorations here on the
corners the final things you need to do before downloading your template
is to make sure that your little video snippet is no more than 20 seconds
since 20 seconds is the duration of a youtube end screen so if you click
once on your video and head up to the toolbar here you'll see a pair of
scissors the duration of your video right next to
it so my video is actually 24 seconds long so that's four seconds too long
really so what i need to do is i click on it once and you'll see all the
frames of my video brought up in one long line here
now you can see that there are two end bars if you like
one here at the beginning and one here at the end of the video
i'm going to crop my video in duration to 20 seconds
by going to the end bar and holding it down
with my cursor it's a double ended cursor as you can see
and dragging it until my video is 20 seconds in duration so you can see
20 seconds once you're done all you need to do to crop it finally
is to click on done
and you can see here that my video is now 20 seconds in duration
so before you download your template make sure that you remove
the guidelines so you want to remove the frame
you want to remove the subscription link and the playlist frame
and then all that's left to do is to download your template
as an mp4 video
next i'm going to upload my end screen video to my video editing tool
i use filmora but you can use whichever one that you're used to using
once uploaded you want to drag this end screen
template to the end of your video like that and once you're happy with
that all you need do is download your video
perfect now i'm going to take you over to youtube
where i'm going to show you exactly how we're going to set up our end screen
elements
so here we are in youtube and i'm about to add my
end screen so i click on add and there is our beautiful end screen
here now as you can see you can add a variety
of elements to your end screen but what i want to do
today is add one playlist and one subscribe so i click on the plus button
and here you'll see the subscribe link is here it's outlined in blue
so it's this one here and the playlist is outlined in red
and you can see it below just here now they don't
have to start at the same time so actually what i'm going to do
is i'm going to pull the subscribe link a little bit further down so i
start off with my playlist now you'll remember in canva we added
some text to highlight the wedding day makeup playlist so i'm
going to hover my cursor over the playlist link i'm going to hold the
cursor down and i'm going to move it into place so
that it just sits underneath that text
and then all you need to do to add a link to the playlist
is go to the left hand side of your screen here and click
on this little pencil i can't actually do it because i'm using my own
youtube channel so i don't actually have a wedding day makeup playlist
but you'll know exactly what to do once you click on this pencil
link here to edit now i'm going to scroll
through my end screen a little bit further
until i see the subscribe link and this is actually in a perfect place
already because if i move it over here you'll see that
it overlaps the playlist you have this red box here which means
that it's overlapping and so what i'm going to do is drag it out of the way
and pop it just there so i'm just going to scroll back to the start of my end
screen here and click on the play button here just
to make sure that all the elements are in place
and i think you've got to agree with me this is a really really attractive
way to create a youtube end screen
of course you don't have to use the exact same layout as i've done
you can experiment and see what works best for you and you don't actually
need to upload a video snippet either you can animate a youtube end screen
by using a static background image and then using
some of canvas animated stickers this is a little bit more tricky but if
you'd like me to create a tutorial for you to show you how to do this
