https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RCX4GY-aEOw Have you seen those little videos that we always include in our video content to encourage people to sign up as subscribers to our channel? Videos like that can be created in a snap with an online service. Today we want to do that again, because these customizable overlay videos are varied and plentiful. It also doesn't take much effort to create a new video so we'll take that as an opportunity to document it here. The website we use to create the videos for our overlays is called Presentermedia. We have been using this solution for about half a decade and are still very happy with the amount of content and the very good cost-benefit ratio. For almost every occasion there are things you can use there, for example for video intros and outros or even for occasions like Christmas or birthdays. For our YouTube channel videos we would like to create an overlay video which invites the viewer in an animated way to subscribe to the channel. And to do that we first call the website of Presentermedia and enter in the search term what we actually want. Since we want to convey a call to action in the video, we need a custom video. From the results of our search query we now pick out a suitable video which we want to adapt for our purpose. This is pretty quick and easy. We simply decide on a suitable font, change the already given text and also change the color. The lower part of our sign text we would like to display in red color and a bit slanted. After we are satisfied with our changes, we click on the appropriate button to create the video. Presentermedia offers not only MP4 videos, but also PowerPoint files and other formats for images. Once the video is created, it will appear in our Media Library where we can watch or download it. Sometimes further adjustments are needed, for example, if you make a mistake with the font size and it doesn't display well. With the price model that we opted for at the time, we can customize again as many times as we need to the content that we have already created and also download it indefinitely. All in all, it didn't take us five minutes to customize such a video and we can access it in our media files after it is done. When we are satisfied with the result, we download it with a mouse click and save it in our templates folder. There it will always be available and can also be inserted in this video as an overlay to encourage the viewer to subscribe to our channel. We use a software called Screencast-o-matic as video editor. With this software it is possible to insert a new video into an existing video as a semi-transparent overlay so that both videos can run at the same time. By the way, you can add the intro and the outro before and after the video with the same editor in the same step. And that's how more and more video content is created in our channel, where pretty much no one will escape our invitation to subscribe. If you think this is too intrusive, feel free to tweak it for your own needs. We think that the solution presented here is a great way to achieve very good results with little effort.
