You will need to try and create more intros to become more professional.
First of all an intro is composed by three main parts: a
on it, a
your channel, and any

At first, when you are starting your first intros, it is better to use ready-made
videos and audio effects, right to understand how all works.
You can use as videos the so-called
can contain anything, and can be put in loop on and on. These can be used to
create the right background you need to show off your title and subtitle.

Remember that you may need to use just royalty free video and audio files for your
intro. Otherwise, you may risk troubles with Copyrights in YouTube. You can also use

as long as you respect the owner's attribution.
Just try putting together different video loops and audio files or effects until you find
something that fits the idea you have in mind. Loops and audio may require effects to
be better. You may try them to see which one fits.
The most difficult part is to add the right title and a subtitle (if you want it too).
As ''title'' is meant your main logo, that can be your name, your brand or your channel
name. This must be plain, clear and big, in order to make people remember it better.
The title is right the reason why you make an intro.
Choose a right font style that fits the video loop and audio. If you want, you can add
any facebook, twitter or blog link, or any motto as subtitle, which must be put in a
smaller size, and usually after the title itself.

If you don't have it, you can still archieve a sort of 3D text in another way,
adding some effects, even though text won't have any extrusion depth. This is
good as long as your intro video is simple and not too much professional.
Let's suppose that this is the text to make in 3D. Type, choose the style and the color.
Decide definitely, since editing it may be complex later.
If you want to move the text in 3 dimentions, you need to add a

effect.
So if you put a transition that leads to black, the dodge effect will cover just the text,
giving a special amazing effect.

At this point, you can enhance the aspect of your intro, adding video effects,
