Intro/Outro Best Practices
Hook in first 3 seconds - 50% of viewers leave within 10 seconds
Consider skipping intros entirely - Trending approach is to jump straight to content
Keep intros under 5 seconds - Shorter is better for retention
Consistent branding - Use same music/visuals across all videos
Outro during end screen - Last 5-20 seconds of video
Customize each outro - Mention specific next video, not generic CTA
