0:37 is that me…? Thank you for the great work Tyler. I appreciate creators that help other creators. Let me know if I can provide any insights, would love to help on a video
It was an interesting idea to me that a thumbnail should stand out in dark mode. I was told before that thumbnails with black backgrounds are really good but it seems that in dark mode you need to make sure that you have some bright colors to help it pop. I guess the lesson from your video is to make a thumbnail that is appealing in both modes.
to add onto the quietest room thumbnail: usually, using the rule of 3rds, you would place your subject where the vertical and horizontal lines connect, as that is where your eyes usually go, but putting himself in the center creates a feeling of loneliness and uneasiness which adds onto the "uncomfortable" atmosphere of being inside a room so quiet for so long
That’s not the metric that even gets me the most. It’s “after an hour, he was almost ready to give up” and “after 8 whole hours. But was it even worth it?”
6:11 I’m guessing its the color green. Green is a great thumbnail color, much better than blue. Also, wearing all white wasn’t the greatest choice. The black clothes made him stand out better, as well as separated the white camera setup from his back. The angle of the camera setup is also better in the new version, giving the viewer an orthographic perspective of the setup. Easier to read whats going on. The text is smaller, which you would think is worse, but is actually easier to read than the larger text. With the big text, your eyes have to move slower than they are accustomed to when reading on a phone or computer screen. Finally, having more people in the thumbnail tells the viewer that he brought his contraption out in public, which he did. I’d rather see him wander around town in 3rd person and interact with people than wander around a hiking trail and possibly fall off a cliff.
I think ryan used the people photo thumbnail because its more personal with all the people probably judging him in the park, and having nothing to do with text size or dangerousness
This video makes me happy and sad at the same time. It’s great to see talented people be so invested in doing things as best as possible, but at the same time it’s sad to see that RUclips has changed in to a tactical battle for your attention…
What I don’t like with some of Ryan’s etc. thumbnails (including also mr beast), is when the thumbnail is not actually realistic of what happens in the video - or wildly exaggerated at least. But oh well.
Mark My Words, Tyler Fleischman will reach 100k subs in 2022 (currently on 1,4k subs)! This is probably one of the best RUclips education channel if not the best I've ever seen!
Another great video. Honestly amazing how much effort some people go through to get the perfect thumbnail. That diving example seems like it was almost more effort than the video itself
He could have taken so many shortcuts to get a thumbnail almost as good, but no, he went and did the real deal. Ryan is one of my favorite creators! Such an inspiration
Tyler, you're super underrated creator and I really appreciate the help I'm trying to start a RUclips channel just like yours, you're big inspiration to me.
i can tell youve been learning how to make videos for a while, present and past story lines sound effects pacing jcuts and talking about someone already estabilished a title and thumbnail that made me click instantly you sir are about to blow up teach me lol
I’ve just seen your channel, great content! Over halfway to 1k! On the thumbnails, I would personally add more contrast to the pink to bring the words in white out a lot more. Have you ever thought about using a lime or yellow green with the pink? They are complimentary shades to pink.
Amazing video. Learning what goes on with behind thumbnail really shows the effort the creator goes through to get does clicks. Great use of the end screen.
After some thinking, here’s my take on why the cliff thumbnail wasn’t used: the cliff doesn’t appear in the video. If a viewer saw the thumbnail, clicked, and didn’t see Ryan walk even near a cliff, they’d be unsatisfied and think of it as clickbait
5:53 I think the reason why the left thumbnail wasn’t used was because the right one stuck with what was actually in the video. See, if you get a recommendation with that kind of thumbnail, of course you’d want to see it happen in the video, right? But in the video, he never really did that. Since ppl can just skip into other parts of the video while having a chance to preview it, it’ll turn people off the video and move on with their day Having your thumbnails directly correlate to the video gives more impressions that “hey, this guy actually delivered and didn’t over-exaggerate it’s contents with the thumbnail”. It seems to be a great thing to do in the long run so that you’ll have a more solid fanbase. I mean, just look at MrBeast. Sure, his thumbnail and title may have been pretty exaggerated, but at least he delivered, even for a little bit (or maybe it’s because he just already had a huge follower count and it was just bound to happen. I’m not entirely sure lol). So yeah. TL;DR: Thumbnail may be more clickable, but what everyone hates more than Kids channels is clickbait.
I mostly have to say that it's an 75% chance whether or not creating thumbnails are going to increase the view count for your video while you can upload a certain snapshot that you took for the video that you're uploading in this platform
I know that there was a lot of detail Ryan out in his thumbnails (you might disagree on this) but i think that he’s like my english teacher analyzing things in the thumbnail that probably ryan didnt even realise putting in. Also have you noticed on Ryan’s penny challenge thumbnails, in the video his hair grows but in the thumbnails, it doesn’t, i thought he took the photos beforehand, or it could be something else, what do you think?
Do I need to wear a orange jumpsuit to get the orange thumbnail look? Or can I just use the color change in a video editing software? What's the best practice? Thanks!
@@TylerF Thanks, Tyler! I hope to schedule another consult with you soon. If I ran into you at Starbucks, I could probably talk to you about YT marketing til the sun goes down.
@@TylerF Yep. Just saw that I don't think Picmonkey lets me change black or white. And I also just realized that I either wear a white or black shirt in EVERY one of my vids. Maybe that's something that I need to change so that I can "go Trahan"🤣 at will.
I'm actually proud of myself in finding this RUclips channel :) I have a question though, How did you manage to get all these backstage information? Banger video with tons of value in any case, thanks for sharing !
Tyler: Is it normal for a NICHED topic video to have a MUCH lower AVP in the first 30 secs than a broader topic vid? Or are my intro skills just plane weak for this vid? I didn't do anything different, and AVP is 65% for the first 30 secs, which is bad by my standards. (What's amazing is my relative audience retention is above average for the entire first 8 mins of this vid.) Thanks!
I think much more niched topic videos are more likely to have people drop off right away, but it doesn't have to be the case. I think it's still possible to intrigue those who clicked, and deliver something at the start where they subconsciously think: "I chose right to click on this video, this video is for me"
This is my first time watching you but can i ask why you are sitting outside on a bench in the middle of a mountainlandscape with snow all around you? Idk if u always do this but if not i love the randomness of the spot!

EMOTIONAL DAMAGE!
Oh hi steven!
Hi Steve
Hello
Hi steven
This is killer content! Thanks for making this!
And love that you traveled to film this one, small details like that get noticed
It was fun to switch it up!

Great insights! Congrats on the video 📈📈📈

amazing video! everyone needs an orange jumpsuit clearly
Right?! 😂
Orange jumpsuits are the wave of the future. :)
Same, it’ll be a tax write off!
Didn't expect you to find here!
ORANGE AMONG US
Omg I LOVE this video dude! Awesome way of making it relatable, educational and entertaining in a smooth narrative. Great job man!!
So this is my shoutout?
This is so underrated! your one of my favourite ytbers now

Yeah exactly. Was about to comment that!
What a great video! Just popped up on my home page and was an awesome watch. Thanks for the breakdown Tyler :)
Great video Tyler! I love getting to see the behind the scenes of Ryan’s RUclips thumbnail journey and how his thumbnails work for his CTR.
"And for only 900$"
For a night
That’s not the metric that even gets me the most. It’s “after an hour, he was almost ready to give up” and “after 8 whole hours. But was it even worth it?”
This is awesome stuff Tyler! Love the flow of your commentary & story telling. Super easy to follow! 🤙
I cant believe this was 2 years ago
Yo I'm A fan!

Honestly, I have seen many RUclipsr do the “hiding celebrities” concept way before Ryan Trahan did it but Ryan definitely started to make it trend
Your channel has to be my favorite creator focused channel right now, keep up the great work 👑
So cool to hear! More on the way Armin! 🔥
your storytelling is appreciable
Good job, I love when I see a before and after of a previosly unsuccesful thumbnail.
Tyler, thank you for your excellent effort. I like creators who assist other creators.
I think ryan used the people photo thumbnail because its more personal with all the people probably judging him in the park, and having nothing to do with text size or dangerousness
What podcast did the underwater one come from
This video is too underrated, hope more people find it!
In the quietest room thumbnail, he’s also wearing an orange jumpsuit suggesting that he’s imprisoned there
You earned a subscriber. But I have to ask how’d you find out about the behind the scenes of ryan making his thumbnails
I'm surprised by the amount of Subscribers you have, amazing content.
Keep up the good work!
Are we going to ignore he is in the snow
Yes.
Yes.
Not anymore
Damn, you’re consistently over performing in these videos, and making some bangers!!
This video makes me happy and sad at the same time.
It’s great to see talented people be so invested in doing things as best as possible, but at the same time it’s sad to see that RUclips has changed in to a tactical battle for your attention…
That’s true, but I think there are still people out there who like simple content, no need to do crazy stuff
What I don’t like with some of Ryan’s etc. thumbnails (including also mr beast), is when the thumbnail is not actually realistic of what happens in the video - or wildly exaggerated at least. But oh well.
Damn this is epic! Bro ur videos will blow up soon
nice stuff! Gotta take some inspiration out of that! 😁
Mark My Words, Tyler Fleischman will reach 100k subs in 2022 (currently on 1,4k subs)! This is probably one of the best RUclips education channel if not the best I've ever seen!
Cool
It is a crime that you only have 1.3k subs. Your content quality is on part with RUclipsrs that have well over 100k subs.
bro, you've earned yourself a new sub. this video was so detailed yet simple. Ive taken a lot of valuable information. thank you
Another great video. Honestly amazing how much effort some people go through to get the perfect thumbnail. That diving example seems like it was almost more effort than the video itself
He could have taken so many shortcuts to get a thumbnail almost as good, but no, he went and did the real deal. Ryan is one of my favorite creators! Such an inspiration
Plus the world has this "masterpiece of a video". Wow what luck for everyone
4:58 why is that guy walking backwards? *in the bottom left*
Nice vid Tyler. And you were mic'd in the opening shot with the snow background. 😀 How'd you get his data at 0:04?
I got a new lavalier microphone! And the data truth be told, it's a rough estimate.
@@TylerF Sound quality is great with the mic.
Bro Ryan needs to hire you I want to watch all those videos
Haha I see my thumbnail at 1:15
Ayyye haha hey man 👋
big fan sir
One great video, Boss. Well analysed.
Much appreciated! 😁
You released my dopamine
😂
this is very well made my guy! I appreciate your hard work!
This is an amazing video. How did you get all this inside info about Ryan’s thumbnail process? Did you work with him?
Yeah, I'm wondering this too
Probably waveback machine. Some change their thumbnail within a few days.
So glad I came across your channel. I recognized you from Film Booth. This video is great!
Tyler, you're super underrated creator and I really appreciate the help I'm trying to start a RUclips channel just like yours, you're big inspiration to me.
Good story telling 🎉🎉🎉. Came from film booth
🎉
bro just chilling in a mountain range.
the dedication is insane.
I’ve never seen a comment so early on an old(ish) video lmao
Ooo boi, I’m excited for this one 🤤
Broo this video is amazing man. Such an incredible break down. Thank you
Thank you Mike! Love seeing you in the comments 😁 glad you liked it!
This is one of the best videos explaining Rayan's thumbnails and analyzing his video.Thank you so much for sharing! 😊
You are so much more informed as a human now
This video felt like a 20 min video. So much content in it
Damn, that's genuinely inspired me to grind really hard!
Wow, finally a good video about thumnails
i can tell youve been learning how to make videos for a while,
present and past story lines
sound effects
pacing
jcuts
and talking about someone already estabilished
a title and thumbnail that made me click instantly
you sir are about to blow up
teach me lol
You know what's up 😎
So thats why so many thumbnails have really bright colors, thanks!
Ive been using your advice on my thumbnails, they not perfect but getting better and better
Small improvements over time really add up!! I'm rooting for you 🙌
I’ve just seen your channel, great content! Over halfway to 1k! On the thumbnails, I would personally add more contrast to the pink to bring the words in white out a lot more. Have you ever thought about using a lime or yellow green with the pink? They are complimentary shades to pink.
@@stuartdoyle99 thanks for taking the time to have a look, really appreciate it. Ill have a look and try a few different colours see what works. 👍👍
WOW! The best video in this topic i've found!
This is one of your best videos so far! Love it
So glad you think so! It's probably my favorite so far :)
Amazing video. Learning what goes on with behind thumbnail really shows the effort the creator goes through to get does clicks. Great use of the end screen.
Thank you! Yeah especially with larger creators, it's crazy how much really goes on behind the scenes
After some thinking, here’s my take on why the cliff thumbnail wasn’t used: the cliff doesn’t appear in the video. If a viewer saw the thumbnail, clicked, and didn’t see Ryan walk even near a cliff, they’d be unsatisfied and think of it as clickbait
Could be an answer!
How did you get his channel analytics and his draft thumbnails??
Great video! Learning from experts like you!
How did u get his draft thumbnails?
Keep going dude Ur content is amazing
Thanks a ton!

Man, your channel is Gold! Pro narrative, pro editing... you only lack pro suscribers count, but I know for a fact thats going to change soon :)
On the way 😎😂
6:12 or maybe he liked the green background, similar to the penny thumbnail
What a video,I really did enjoy🙌🙌🙌
thanks for the tips!!
Ryan is my fav youtuber
1:14 bro what are you watching for there to be a pfp with gyats bro-
1:32 Damn , The Effort He Put in Just For The Thumbnail , Deserves All The Views And Reach
this was a perfect video essay
Mom: "stop making videos and touch snow!" Tyler fleischman: yes
Learned a whole lot! Thanks for keeping a very enjoyable pace 💥 lots of great info here. Saving!
underrated content!
u just got another sub, keep it up!
also how did you get all this information?
A workshop he did mostly
I know that there was a lot of detail Ryan out in his thumbnails (you might disagree on this) but i think that he’s like my english teacher analyzing things in the thumbnail that probably ryan didnt even realise putting in.
Also have you noticed on Ryan’s penny challenge thumbnails, in the video his hair grows but in the thumbnails, it doesn’t, i thought he took the photos beforehand, or it could be something else, what do you think?
He 100% took all the photos before the series, confirmed it in an interview. Video coming soon.
Awesome as always! Could you make a video about the perfect profile picture? And why (or why not) it matters? :)
That shows how small details can change everything
This was amazing, I watched and rewatched and learnt
Get this man 10k subs immediately!
Do I need to wear a orange jumpsuit to get the orange thumbnail look?
Or can I just use the color change in a video editing software?
What's the best practice?
Thanks!
It's rather easy to shift the color of something to another color, but keep in mind it's harder to turn something white or dark into a color you want.

this guy is a genius

Great video Tyler Fleischman :]
6:14 its because in the first one there is no grass which means people wont realise its his video because he uses grass in almost every thumbnail
