I have had this in mind for quite some time, and it seems like I’m making my decision. All videos starting on October 1st will not show the 20-second video outro which shows me driving an Automation built vehicle, the Inspira Impressive WRECK STEVE — a Subaru Impreza WRX STI knockoff. According to many of my video’s view duration and viewer retention graphs, it shows when I begin to say my outro line, “So that’ll do it,” that’s everyone’s cue to leave the video and carry on. Usually, my outro video segments last for about 45 seconds to 1 minute 10 seconds which in my opinion, is a bit too long. That includes me giving remarks about the video, a car I built, and the future for my channel. On top of that, I have the outro video playing, which further increases the video duration. That’s the reason why I’m going to retire the outro video for something more simple.
As I plan on getting rid of my video outro segment, I’m going to keep the ending’s card system template which shows two of my videos, the subscribe card, and my social media links at the bottom. For example, when I say my usual ending line, “And for those who are interested in this type of content.” That’s where you’ll see the image fade in with the video blurred out. With the outro song playing in the background, I’ll try to keep it as is with it fading in from the beginning and have it play out. Another option is to change the track position of the song so it’s more fitting to every ending in my videos. The last option is to remove it entirely and hear my voice without any distractions. I’ll have a decision when I make another video with the outro video segment left out.
