Motion & AnimationYouTube End Screen Outro – Customizable Channel Sign-Off Animation
A fully configurable end screen outro for any YouTube channel. Instead of one fixed look, this template exposes seventeen controls — style, palette, typography, camera, transition, logo treatment, CTA animation, audio mood and loop behaviour — so the same structure produces a tech channel's neon sign-off or a cooking channel's warm paper-craft one.The layout control is the part that matters most: it reserves clean, low-detail slots exactly where YouTube's clickable subscribe orb and video cards will be overlaid, so your animation never fights the elements the platform draws on top of it.Use CasesChannel outros, sponsor sign-offs, playlist promos, Shorts end cards, and reusable brand stingers for a full video series.Who Can UseYouTubers, video editors, motion designers, agency creators and brand teams who want an on-brand outro without opening After Effects.Best PracticesPick the duration first. YouTube end screens run 5-20 seconds. Ten seconds fits most channels; go shorter for Shorts, longer only if you have two videos plus a playlist to promote.Match the aspect ratio to the destination. Choose 9:16 vertical and the vertical stack layout together — a 16:9 layout letterboxed into Shorts wastes the safe area.Keep the tagline under five words. Long lines shrink to unreadable at phone size and are where video models most often produce garbled lettering.Give the palette real colours. "Deep indigo and electric cyan" beats "blue" — name two or three hues and one accent.Generate two or three takes. Text rendering varies between runs; pick the take with the cleanest lettering rather than re-prompting.Things to AvoidDo not fill the reserved card slots with artwork or text. Anything you put there gets covered by the real end screen elements and reads as clutter behind them.Avoid busy, high-contrast backgrounds behind the subscribe button — the click target needs to stay obvious.Skip aggressive camera moves. A drifting or orbiting frame makes fixed-position end screen overlays look detached from the animation.Do not ask the model to draw a YouTube logo, subscribe bar or player UI. It renders inconsistently and risks a trademark issue; use a plain labelled button instead.
