You will see a ton of options. Explore and click on the one you like. Once you click, the clip will be directly added to your project. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you want to add a different video, simply use the search bar to find what you are looking for.<\/span><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-3011\" src=\"https:\/\/www.animaker.com\/hub\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Add-Video-background.png\" alt=\"Add video background for YouTube intro\" width=\"1440\" height=\"787\" \/><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Now that we have the background set, we can start by trimming the video. An ideal intro can be around 5 to 8 seconds. So, to trim the video head over to the <\/span><b>Animation Timeline <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">and click on the \u2018 &#8211; \u2018 button to decrease screen time.<\/span><\/span><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-3012\" src=\"https:\/\/www.animaker.com\/hub\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Decrease-scene-duration.png\" alt=\"Reduce scene duration \" width=\"1435\" height=\"786\" \/><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Let\u2019s spice up the intro by adding some placeholder for the text, and some basic animations.

To make the circle go along with the background animation, let\u2019s change the color of the circle to white. To do so, click on the circle and a settings tab will appear on the right. In the settings window, you find the options needed to change the color of the asset.<\/span><\/span><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-3013\" src=\"https:\/\/www.animaker.com\/hub\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Add-elements-to-YouTube-Intro.png\" alt=\"Add elements to YouTube intro\" width=\"1440\" height=\"788\" \/><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And now to add some text, simply head over to the text section and add a default text. Pull the sides of the text box to fit inside the circle. Once your text box is inside the circle, you can now customize it and add the text you want.<br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-3014\" src=\"https:\/\/www.animaker.com\/hub\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Add-text-to-intro.png\" alt=\"Add &amp; customize text \" width=\"1440\" height=\"789\" \/><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You can also change the font style and other formatting options.\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In our case, we will be using the font \u2018<strong>Major Mono Display<\/strong>\u2019. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To get the text inside the circle, we have to change the object duration for the text which can be done by dragging the left black bar inwards and adjust it in a way that the text appears right when the circle appears.<\/span><\/span><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-3016\" src=\"https:\/\/www.animaker.com\/hub\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/customize-text-asset.png\" alt=\"customize text asset\" width=\"1025\" height=\"531\" \/><\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Let\u2019s spice it up by adding some animations to the text.
