Onutro — The outro: the closing 5-20 seconds of a YouTube | onutro.com
An end screen is up to four clickable elements placed inside the final 20 seconds of a video — here is the build order, with the failures to check before you publish.
Check the prerequisite first: the video must be at least 25 seconds long, or the end-screen feature is unavailable. Below that length, close verbally and skip the overlay entirely.
Mark T-20 s on your edit timeline — twenty seconds before the final frame. Elements may appear only from that point onward, so everything clickable lives between T-20 s and the end; the platform will not accept elements outside that window.
Choose from the five element types — video, playlist, channel, subscribe button, link — up to four at once. A subscribe button plus one video is the common pairing; four is the cap, and every addition competes for the same screen space.
On narrow screens, swipe or scroll the plate sideways.
Keep everything inside the safe area. On a 1920×1080 canvas, hold text and elements within a 1600×900 box: 160 pixels of margin on each side, 90 pixels top and bottom. Outside that box, overlays and player chrome can cover your ask.
Preview once, looking for the five named failures: missing feature (video under 25 seconds), early element (outside the 20-second window), element collision (two elements overlapping), cut-off CTA (voiceover running past the last frame) and hard cut (a music fade under 2 seconds). Each is visible in a single playback.
