In the modern world, video is the most highly consumed form of content. An average internet user spends more than an hour of their waking hours watching some video.

While there are various places one can go to watch videos online, YouTube remains the most common video search engine. Brands have started making the most of this trend by inverting their efforts in creating an effective YouTube presence.

By giving the option of creating brand channels, having different playlists for different products or services, and arranging live streaming of videos, YouTube is providing a convenient platform for brands to reach out to their potential customers. As video marketing continues to hold the attention of the public, as a brand, you need to be extremely cautious in this.

Understand that the average viewer today has a much smaller attention span, and every second of your video will decide whether he or she will watch further. With a host of video options, unless you can captivate your viewers in the first 30 seconds, chances are that they will simply scroll past it.

To make the most of your introductory seconds and strike a chord with the
audience, you need to focus on creating unique YouTube intros. 

While you may do this with your basic online video editor, there are special tools that are dedicated to creating intros. Using them makes your job much simpler, and you can get steller results in a matter of minutes. Here are six tools that you may want to consider for preparing the intros of your YouTube videos.
