Best Video Intro Maker Software in 2026

Video intro makers help you create an opening for a video with branding such as a logo. Compare brand kit support and custom logo upload with the intro duration limit, maximum export resolution, and transparent export options. Free-plan availability, any watermark on that plan, and the paid-from price can also shape which options fit your needs. The entries include EchoWave Podcast Editor, FlexClip, and HeyGen, with Powtoon and Animaker among the other names shown. Consider what branding and export controls your videos call for, then weigh those against the plan details and pricing provided.
