A channel intro that makes new visitors hit subscribe
Your channel trailer is the first thing new visitors see. Your clone presents it on screen, in your voice, and gives them a reason to subscribe.
Landscape, vertical or square · Script and storyboard approval
A new viewer lands on your channel and decides in seconds whether to stay. A channel introduction answers the questions they're silently asking: who is this, what will I get, and is it for me? Most creators keep putting it off because it feels awkward to film. Your clone takes that off your plate and presents it for you, as you.
Channel intros are presenter-led, so your clone appears on screen as your talking avatar from your headshot. It says who you are in one line, explains your purpose and who the channel is for, walks through your content pillars with real examples, and closes with a reason to subscribe. Review the script first so it sounds exactly right.

Tips for a better Channel Introduction
- Name who your channel is NOT for. It makes the right viewers feel more at home.
- Give a real video example for each pillar. Specific titles beat vague categories.
- Refresh your intro when your content changes, so it never promises something you no longer make.
Channel Introduction: questions, answered.
How long should a channel intro be?
Short enough to watch before deciding to subscribe. Many creators go for 60 to 120 seconds. Tell your clone the length you want and it adjusts how much time each content pillar gets.
Do I have to be on screen?
Channel intros are built around you as the presenter, so your clone appears as your talking avatar from your headshot, speaking in your cloned voice. It's the format where seeing your face matters most.
Can my clone post it to my channel?
The finished video arrives by email with a title, description and tags. If you use the YouTube Operator, your clone can upload it to your channel and help manage playlists, captions and comments.
