EARLY ACCESS: BookTalk Giveaway
Video Editor Nic and I are trying out something new for the end credits, since at this point they're getting longer than the actual damn video (which, as hilarious and awesome as that is, it's terrible for YouTube's analytics, because most people stop watching the video before it's done. If you want YouTube to promote your videos for you, people need to watch to the end, or at least much closer than 10 minutes before the end.)
Anyway, give us your thoughts in the comments, as we are still tinkering and figuring out the new format. Thank you!

I love how Heart's personality is basically just JC
I've been on your roles since (I think) before Cafae Latte - if you need to do "things" I'm cool with whatever. "Hard to read" isn't a big deal, and having them scroll faster is fine.
Maybe just for the higher tiers (like $10 and above?)
Scroll names in a banner at top or bottom of videos over even on side since it is portrait
I like this format! At least to me, it's not too distracting. And I think the 3 columns for the remaining tiers at the end is a great balance of speed and readability, too.
I don't mind this format. But I also wouldn't mind only the high teirs getting shout outs like dark lord and up. Which would significantly cut down on time
Maybe make the credits 2 or 3 columns, so it goes through faster?
I don't like this. It's distracting and makes me want to watch less. Plus makes me think you care more about advertising than the content which us an ick. I have never cared about my name being in the credits. Most people don't do a long list, they just say thank you to my patrons and sometimes list the highest tier or random 10 people each video (which entices people to see if they're picked to watch to the end). Or maybe just the new people since the last credits (although if you get an influx of 200 people that's gonna be the same issue). I expected one of those options and have never watched for my name. Alternatively, you can do smaller font, 2-3 columns and some funny fast music as it scrolled by
I always thought it should be in the empty space to the side instead of at the end. You might have to speed it up make it rolling credits for shorter videos.
That's nice, but also, I'm not Patreon to be in end credits. It wouldn't hurt my feelings to have that go away or have it be a higher tier thing. I know to play through so the credits I always just roll at 2X
Should say I actually really like this style though. I just thought the names scrolling by super fast with funny music and had to share
Speed up the roll, make the type smaller, make the roll two columns - that should cut the time by 75%
I tried to make it smaller but it made it harder to read
Tasting History with Max Miller does a much more compact set at the end of his posts
I like this, Fairies and Witches get the music at the end. When are we going to see the latest arc? I don't believe I've missed it.
I've got a Pride-related video slotted for next week, and told Nic I want CaFae Legends Part 2 done THIS MONTH, so probably 2-3 weekz
I like it! Found my name at 4:25.
I like it, it keeps both sides of my brain occupied. Some might find that it's a bit much to concentrate on both the names and the video though.
I'm one who stops watching before the end of the video when the credits get too long on other channels but since I have your Playlist going and I don't have to stop what I'm doing to advance to the next video, I don't do that on yours. I always thought they went too slowly though. Even if there was a double column of names it would help go faster.
Seems like a great resolution for YouTube
Yakitty sax style music and a super high speed scroll of the names? It’d make me laugh, anyway…
