What are Video Bumpers?
Video Bumpers are short—usually 10 seconds or less—clips that aim to showcase different brands presented in different videos. Video bumpers can be included anywhere within the stream - the beginning, the middle, or the end.
Some alternative names for video bumpers, such as video intros or video outros, depend on when they appear during the stream.
The Function of Video Bumpers
Video Bumpers are great tools for creating brand visibility on a video-sharing platform like YouTube. The short 10-second clip can make the viewers associate your channel with the music, logo, visuals, graphics, or any other catchy detail presented in the bumper.
They work the same way a logo works for a well-established brand. People recognize the brand through their logos and other hallmark details.
Nearly all YouTube channels have video bumpers, either as an intro or an outro. Some creators even use their bumpers in the middle of their videos to stand out.
