Now when you have made a video, you need to add an outro, the action call. The whole point of making a video, what do you need them to try next, subscribe, pick up the phone, book your seat etc . Usually we put a URL on there. So what I'd do is add a video transition. I like to do a fade to black, sometimes I do a fade to black and then I add a title.
The one I do at the end usually is a zoom because I want it to really stand out for people. I usually match, if Ive used a black screen at the beginning, I use a black screen at the end, it just helps to keep it clean just like the videos of our SEO company. You dont need to overdo it.
In our action call we could say, see the remainder of this seminar, visit, or something similar to that. This is the aim of the video on your website. It is almost like they have studied a little bit of the video and we are hooking them. Then we're pronouncing, if you need to see the remainder of it, head back to our website to see the remainder of it, or something similar to that.
Obviously its going to vary, but usually, thinking about what the goal is, the goal is to get them back to your website, so you need a very clear call to action. Because you may be going to be distribute this and it wont necessarily be embedded into our web page, its all about getting them to come back to the site, whereas sometimes the call to action might be opt in below or something like that.
So 'See The Next Part Of This Seminar, visit' Generally we use title case, this is your decision. Beneath you just put in your URL. In iMovie, how we resize it, you highlight it, show fonts, and then you've got this slider. Fundamentally for this type of video transitions, we just slide it up as sizeable as it'll go and it balances with the title above it.
Building on that, when using any text in video, say the words learn SEO, for me bigger is always better especially if youre talking on black screens at the intro or outro, depending on what size theyre looking at the video. If youve got space there, you might as well use it and make it as easy to use for someone as possible.
One thing with YouTube, you can insert links. They have got some post revising material. But they will not let you link off site. You can link to other videos, you can get them to subscribe. There are different ways you can insert actions into video or video transitions. Traffic Geyser is a neat place to look, they have got custom video players that you can add those kind of actions. Also check out some internet marketing reviews on similar tools.nSo at the end of a video, the video changes to an opt-in box. There are 1 or 2 alternative ways to do that but iMovie manifestly we can't do that. The outro defaults to about three seconds, three and a half seconds, that isn't long enough. So we just go in, double click on it, go in, make it 8 to ten seconds generally.
