[@allthingsheaven]

Just curious about your subtitles for this video. Were they generated in the RUclips Studio Creator or your video editor? Are there any special settings required? I have been working with white text with a stroke and shadow, but don't really like the effect that much. Sometimes this approach is needed with lighter backgrounds.

[@ummenaziabintanahi767]

Thank you, you surely deserve a like ❤️

Dear Sir, I saw your video and I must say that you are an expert at thumbnail creation. However, I am just a novice, therefore, please guide me how to create a professional thumbnail from scratch.

[@suunnii85]

How to save in gallery

[@beautybellsvanity]

This is a great tutorial but I can't get my photo to fit and look good. It doesn't fill the entire thumbnail frame when I upload it. How can I fix this?!

[@nownzengifts3802]

Can I use Canva pro pictures of people from Canvas library in my thumbnail, instead of showing my own face?

[@MedicalAssistingwithMsK]

Thanks so much for these hacks! I LOVE Canva but was disappointed that I couldn't create those high-quality thumbnails I see people create with Photoshop. This is def a game changer :)

[@jasminekhotch5213]

Hi Steve ,can I use my phone to do this, I ve been trying to edit and publish my podcast but it is difficult with its new features please I need ur help

What i dont get is you have your title..of vid is your thumbnail a separate title? Or same one? Im new at thunbnails growing my youtube my numbers have been going up and i see thunbanails are important but titles are even more important

This was the best thumbnail video I’ve ever seen. However, I didn’t catch the things you should NEVER do. Maybe on a different video?
