Whats your thoughts on this i whipped up:

Creative, good.

Firstly I'd make sure you have permission from the original author because the bit with the DayZ logo and the cam zooming out was made by someone else and they may have sold the rights to it, in fact I'm pretty sure they sold it to a well known YT'er.

 

^^Ignore that, things have changed and it is now free to use.

 

With that in mind my only criticism would be that it's a bit long.  People are fussy and just want to get to the good stuff quickly.

 

Looks good though =)

I also think an intro should never be longer than max ten seconds, but that is just my preference!

Thanks guys,

 

ill cut it back to roughly 10 to 12 seconds :D. Does anyone know how to start a Youtube channel up and start rolling in views?

It's along process...

 

Really the only way to get subs is to make good vids that peeps want to watch.  We get people here begging for subs everyday for example and it never goes down well.  Just get some good vids up, put a link in your sig that links to your channel and off you go.

 

I made a stupid vid that got 2000 views and some I spend ages on hardly get any, I just do it for fun though and don't really promote or monitise it.

 

You never know what's gonna work, for example SmashT (another mod here) made a really short vid showing an exploit in COD and it has over 100,000 views :/

That was cool man, good work, You should have a chat to Diddums, as far as I know he is "The youtube" guy so you might be able to get a few pointers,

 

Good work though :)

I don't waste my time watching intros at all.  If I see one, I automatically skip 30 seconds into the video.  I regard intros the same way as advertisements and I don't watch those either.

 

Just my 2 cents.

Yeah, needs to be shorter - after about 15 seconds I just get annoyed.
