Best YouTube Opener Templates for Premiere Pro

For YouTubers, a big part of what keeps people coming back to a channel is familiarity, which is established by them getting to know your personality and presentation style. Everything from the way you film your videos, to your on-screen graphic style contributes. Which is why a consistent opener is a must-have for a lot of successful YouTubers. 

Within those first few seconds – and they shouldn’t run longer than a few seconds – you can communicate the look, feel, and energy of your channel. The colors, animation, music, and footage you choose, should set the scene for each video you upload.

This may seem like a lot of pressure to put on an opener, but you shouldn’t be daunted. Envato has an entire library of YouTube opener templates, optimized to make the most of those first few seconds. And, the ones we’re going to talk about today are exceptionally easy to use, because they’re Premiere Pro templates. 

Premiere Pro templates are motion graphic templates that are entirely editable within the Adobe program. So, there’s no need to learn After Effects to create impressive animations like these. You just drag and drop the template you want out of the Essential Graphics section of the program, change the logo, and or text, and you’re done! Simple. 

So, without any further ado, here’s our list of the best YouTube Opener Templates for Premiere Pro.

This template is ready to go for YouTubers. The colors and animation already fit the bright, irreverent atmosphere a lot of YouTubers create.

And it comes complete with that type of authentic VHS noise that used to annoy those who wanted to watch a clear version of their favorite movie, which we now sell as an effect on VideoHive. As with most things from the 80s, this style has really come back thanks to things like Snapchat, Instagram, and shows like Stranger Things. So, a pack like this is a great choice if you’re a millennial-focused channel.
