As a YouTube creator, I know you really want your videos
to perform well.
You want viewer to spend more time
watching more of your videos.
Which thus, will actually increase the watch time
your videos are accumulating, and increasing the viewing
session time, which helps your videos perform better in search
results, in related videos.
And gives them more exposure overall.
A really great tool-- practical thing that a lot of creators
can do to build that exposure and build
all those positive signals for Google--
is to have an end card on your video
that will drive those viewers to other content of your own,
and help them take that next action that you
want to take-- whether it's to subscribe, or whatever.
Today, I want to introduce you guys to outromaker.com,
who was cool enough to sponsor this video for you guys--
to teach you exactly how to build and use end cards that
will get your viewers to watching more of your stuff,
so that your videos perform better overall.
Let me take you to my desktop and show you
exactly how to use it.
[THEME MUSIC]
Let's start here at outromaker.com on the website.
I want to show you how many different types of custom
backgrounds you can make-- and layouts
you can make for your end card here.
You can have two videos side by side,
your custom subscribe button at the bottom,
and do your previous video, you can
have your own branding, links.
We could opt to do three videos.
Lots of different cool things-- two videos-- all this stuff.
So you can make them however you'd like--
or this and building templates.
Let me show you how to get started here.
I'm going to go up here and click on Outros.
I've already logged in and created my account.
And this is the template I have selected.
Now you can make your own [INAUDIBLE],
or you can choose from a lot of their stock ones
that they have.
And they're always adding and updating adding
new different designs here.
I picked this one as the one we're
going to play with because it's simple, has a subscribe right
here, shows two videos.
You can make your own-- if you have your own custom one.
And there's a couple ways you can do that.
Either one, you can upload your own image.
Two, you can create one manually--
which will go to the pink monkey.
Or you can say, hey, I already have my end
card in one my YouTube videos.
Let's just use that one-- and import one from one
of your existing videos.
So the create one with pic monkey--
that one's really cool.
Because it just integrates right here.
And it's got everything you need ready to get
started with editing and creating your own from scratch.
Let me show you how the upload one works real quick by using
one from my computer here.
I selected it.
It's uploading.
And I'll show you how easy this is.
So I've got the background image.
This is an image I made on my computer using Photoshop.
You can add background music to it, if you'd like to.
You can do custom drawing here.
So I'm going to say here is where--
I'm going to mark this area for one annotation should be right
there.
And that'll be a previous vlogging [INAUDIBLE].
You can toggle it-- the sound on and off of it, if you want.
I'm going to have the sound on for this one for example.
I'm going to add another one.
This is going to be a video placeholder.
But I want to subscribe annotation
for a subscriber area.
So I'm going to create that location right here
over top of his button.
And you can grab external links.
You can add a lot of different things here.
And I'll just click Save.
And that will be one of my end cards.
Now that's available as a custom template, which would
be really awesome, easy to use.
But let me show you how they use your templates
that you-- that they provide, which I think are really cool.
I'm just going to go to Outros here at the top.
And this is the one I just created.
But let me go use one of theirs to show you
how cool theirs are-- one of their stock ones.
Because I like some of these too.
I'm going to use this one right here.
The one I had before.
And then, I'm going to go down and click on Next,
and it's going to let me pick which videos I want.
So I'm going to make an end card that I'm
going to use on every single video of mine that
has to do with video SEO.
Because if someone's watching a video where
I'm talking about video SEO, then I
want to show to more videos about video SEO
at the end to get them the click to keep watching.
Because apparently, they've expressed
interest in that topic.
So here's one that's going to be in the first spot on the end
card.
And this is going to be my second video I'm going to pick.
So both of these are about video SEO.
Scroll down here.
Here's my preview I get as a result.
And I click Next to keep going.
And this is where I get to set how long I
want this end card to run.
I'll pick 15 seconds.
You can go up to 30 or down to five.
But I think 15 is probably about right.
And I want to set each of the end cards videos
to start at a time where there's going
to be something visual on screen that I think would make it
enticing for someone to click.
So I can get pretty specific here.
I'll just stop that one right there.
And then on this one, let's pick something ahead,
maybe, I'll just start out right about here.
So I'll just back up a little bit.
We're talking.
And I'll go with that.
OK, so let's hit finish here.
And it's going to take-- it usually takes about a minute
to process.
So I'll give it a minute here.
And then I'll show you what to do next.
All right, it's finished now.
You can preview it here if you'd like to see exactly what it
looks like when it's running.
Which is kind of what I was hoping for it would look like,
which is great.
You can download it or delete it.
First thing I'm going to do is rename it.
And the reason why is you can have a whole list
of different end cards you want to use--
like I said-- for different topics, different themes.
This is going to be the end card I'm
going to use for videos about video SEO.
So I'll just label this one video SEO.
And then you're going to go ahead and download it.
And then you're going to import that clip
into your video editing software and tack it
on to the end of your video along with any music,
or anything else like that you want to add.
So I've exported that video.
I've uploaded it to YouTube.
It's How to be Extremely Really Good at Video SEO.
I've uploaded-- a thing I hate most about annotations
is having to add them all.
It's so tedious.
So Outromaker has a really easy solution for that.
I'm going to show you guys what it is.
So you move your cursor to the end,
right to where the annotations are
going-- you want them to display over your end card.
OK, now you're going to come back over here.
And you click on this at the top-- annotations.
This is your Outro-Annotator.
You're just going to click and drag it
up to your bookmarks bar.
You can rename it if you want.
I'm just going to leave it as Outro-Annotator.
And this is going to do all sorts of magic.
Watch this.
So I have got my playhead right where my end card begins.
And, what I'm going to do is just
click on this little bookmark that I've created.
And this thing pops up and says "select the video from the drop
down menu to create annotations that match your outro."
So here's my video SEO outro I named.
Remember?
So that's the one I've selected.
Yeah, create YouTube cards through those interactive cards
that work on mobiles, since annotations don't.
Then sure, let's add some titles in the videos--
make them look pretty.
It's only going to take a second.
Watch.
I'm going to click add.
And it's done.
Look.
It's automatically added, all these
annotations to the very end.
It's got the topic right here, the text.
It's got this is as a subscribe.
It's got these automatically linked
to the correct videos, which is awesome.
And then I can go look at the interact cards as well.
Check this out.
So look.
It's added both cards at the very end-- video number
one and video number two.
I'll scrub to the end, show you what this looks like.
But it's automatically placed each of those.
So people watching on mobile devices, their annotations
aren't going to work.
Look, boom.
The card pops out for them.
It will stay open for about five or six seconds.
It will go away.
Now then the next one will boom, pop right back in.
See?
So you can take advantage of showing
both of those interactive cards to the viewer.
Outromaker.com is perfect for any of you
guys who are using video editing software that
doesn't allow you to easily make these end cards-- like using
iMovie, or Windows Movie Maker, or even
using some paid program that just aren't that flexible.
This is a really great, perfect, easy solution
for someone like you.
It's also a great solution for anyone
who wants to keep an organized library of different end cards
that use to associate different end card
topics with different videos that they make to increase
the likelihood that someone's going to keep watching more
and more of their videos, and getting this watch
time, session time, all that stuff.
And number three, it's also really
great for saving time adding those annotations,
adding those interactive card, lining them all up-- boom.
You just click that one button.
It's all done for you.
And now, I know a big question that a lot of you
guys will be asking is Tim, what about that
tutorial you made a few weeks ago that shows the new end card
elements that YouTube is going to be rolling out eventually
some time.
Will this support that?
That is a very good question.
Because I asked them the same thing.
And they informed me that as soon as YouTube officially
rolls out the new end card elements,
they will update their system to support them as well.
