YouTube Channel Intro 2026
16:9 YouTube channel intro with editable name, promise and animated play mark.
A logo reveal runs before the video, which means it runs before anybody has decided to stay. Short, legible, and built around a mark you can replace with your own rather than one baked into a clip.

How this one is built
YouTube Channel Intro 2026 is built from 4 shapes, 2 text layers and 1 image, using a deep blue-to-near-black gradient and a shadow 56 pixels deep. Its colours are near-black, deep blue, red, white and pale blue. Type is set in Inter.
The animated red rule, editable channel name and editable channel promise fade up at 0s. The whole run is 5s at 60 frames a second.
It sits through the middle of the frame of a 16:9 composition, spanning about 100% of the width at 1920×1080 pixels.
What to do with it
- Make it yoursChange the words, the colours and the timing without breaking the animation that was built for the shape.
- Export it with transparencyWhich format your editor actually reads, and why a black rectangle behind your graphic means the wrong one was chosen.
- Size it for the smallest screenA mark that reads on a monitor can be four millimetres tall on the phone most of your audience is holding.
- YouTube Intro MakerMake your intro from your own logo instead — or let Autopilot make three from it — and keep it short enough to cost no watch time.
- What exporting costsOpening this template, changing it and watching it back are free. Getting the finished file out is $5 once for this project, or a plan if you make them often.
