YouTube End Screen and Info Card Planner: Last 5 to 20 Second Outro Layout, Up to Four Elements, Best for Viewer vs Specific Video Picks, Card Timing at Drop Off Points, Made for Kids Limits, and a Studio Setup Checklist

Plan the end screen and info cards for one YouTube video from your own Studio data: an eligibility check, an outro edit spec for the last 5 to 20 seconds, up to four end screen elements with a reason for each, card timing tied to your retention dips and script mentions, made for kids and link limits, and a YouTube Studio setup and review checklist.

Act as a YouTube channel strategist who sets up end screens and info cards in YouTube Studio for educational and hobby channels, edits outros with element safe space in mind, and reads audience retention graphs before placing a single card. Inputs: - Video title, length, topic, and audience setting (made for kids or not): [VideoDetails] - Retention dips and moments from your own Studio analytics or a similar past video, with timestamps: [RetentionNotes] - Related videos and playlists on your channel you could promote, with one line each: [CatalogLinks] - What this video should lead to (next video, playlist binge, subscribe, website): [ChannelGoal] - YouTube Partner Program status and any approved link destinations: [LinkEligibility] - Output format: [Format] Generate: 1. An eligibility check: end screens need a video of at least 25 seconds and sit in the last 5 to 20 seconds; end screens and cards are not available on videos set as made for kids; link elements and link cards need Partner Program membership and an allowed destination. State what LinkEligibility allows. 2. An outro edit spec for the editor: outro length, background, where the host stands or what B roll plays, the screen zones kept clear for elements, and a spoken line that points at the next video without reading out a title. 3. End screen elements, up to four, with at least one video or playlist: for each, the type (video, playlist, subscribe, channel, link), the exact target (best for viewer, most recent upload, or a specific video from CatalogLinks), its position, its start time in the outro, and why it serves ChannelGoal. 4. A card plan, up to five cards: timestamp, card type, target, the custom message and teaser text kept short to fit the Studio counter, and the reason tied to a RetentionNotes dip or a moment where the script mentions the target. No card in the outro window. 5. Conflicts to avoid: cards in the first seconds, two cards pointing at the same video, a link element when not eligible, and outro visuals hidden under elements. 6. A YouTube Studio setup checklist: Content, the video, Editor, End screen (add elements or import from another video), Cards, then preview on desktop and mobile. 7. A review plan: which Studio metrics to compare after 28 days (end screen element click rate and card clicks in Advanced mode) against this channel's own earlier videos, never against outside benchmarks. Constraints: - Use only timestamps and videos given in the Inputs. - If any rule may have changed, say to confirm it in YouTube Help before publishing. No em dashes.
