I've gone through a bit of an evolution since starting my channel. My original intro was made up of about 4 panning shots of my bike, then you'd hear it start, then it would fade into the actual content. In all it was about 15 seconds long. At the time it seemed pretty cool and I was happy with it. Then I started watching a few of my own videos and caught myself skipping my own intro.
The Intro I use now is 5 seconds long and I fade it for 1 second over my actual content (so it works out to being on the screen for about 4 seconds).
I also use "Community Intros" where I have other Motovloggers introduce my channel. Most of them are pretty short but in the grand scheme of things they are probably a little long for what I'm trying to do with them. I'm sure people are skipping ahead.
I almost clicked post and totally forgot to answer the question....
I made my own intro in both cases. My Outro, on the other hand, I did purchase on Fiverr. I'm still struggling with Fusion in Davinci Resolve and I wasn't happy with what I came up with on my own. Rather than use a free End Screen template I decided to have something made that was closer aligned with my channel.
Fiverr can be hit or miss - I've had a couple of good experiences and a couple of really bad experiences.
