Hi this video is about how to make an end screen for youtube to increase watch time
YouTube rewards channel owners that keep viewers watching more of their videos
The BIG problem is that YouTube defaults to showing unrelated videos at the end of your
own video This prevents viewers from continually engaging
with your own content The solution to this problem is to create
an end screen This is sometimes called an outtro, end slate
or end card An end screen suggests related videos at the
end of the video a viewer has just watched This increases engagement and improves rankings

Here's how to create a custom end screen for your YouTube video
Go to Pixlr.com Go to the Pixlr editor
Click launch web app Click create image
Name your image..call it "end screen" From the pre-set drop down box select movie
1080p Click OK
Here's our white background I'm going to change the color of that background
So go to the drawing tool and just drag it down over the background image
Now I'll change the color so I go down here to the color picker
Change it to red Click the red
Click OK Then go to the paint bucket
Click the middle and here you've got the red background
Now we want to create the boxes on the background image
So we go up to layer - new layer Click on the drawing tool over here
Do a large box at the top And if we click on the move tool, move this
anywhere we like Now we want to put three boxes down the bottom
Click on layer - new layer Drawing tool
Put a little box down here Move that around by clicking on the move tool
up here so it aligns with the top box Then we just do another box beside it
So we go to layer - duplicate layer Just move that over here
You might want to make another box so we go to layer- duplicate layer
Put another box here then we can just spread it out
So we got our layers over here so we can just click on here and click the move tool
Move this one over and adjust our boxes accordingly OK we got all our boxes done
Now we want to create a subscribe image Go to the drawing tool again
Go to layer - new layer Click the drawing tool
Go to the rounded rectange tool, elipse tool or line tool

We want to make that black...move the color picker to the black
Click ok..I want to enlarge that Change the style to bold..center it
Click OK Now we've got our end screen template
Go to file -save First we are going to save it as a layered
pixel image PXD file so we can go in and customize this anytime we want
Click OK And save this to the desktop..as an end screen.pxd
