Sam , you are Gooood! Just subscribed to your channel and am hooked on your videos, your wonderful and vibrant personality and down to earth style. Love your content and have so much to watch on your channel... Thanks for all you do. I need help LOL but your videos will help me I hope. thanks!
Great video Sam. Im definitely going to try this out. Ive just DL'd Affinity Designer and Im going to try and get my Thumbnails, next level, like yours. Cheers. Keep bringing this great content
Thank god for HISTORY on a browser. I switched over to my other YT channel and I was like banging my head trying to remember what this video title was hahahaha. I already said it on my other account, but thanks for making this video and for sharing Mercury. I'm still getting used to it and I hope they add MORE stuff eventually so you can really customize your templates, but in the meantime I am enjoying the tool!
those amazon lights are legit! I got them when you first mentioned them in a previous vid. great buy, worth the money. Flicker for me only happens in some of the colors/intensities.
Very useful sponsor 🤩 am I right in seeing that there is no patreon links with streamleements I'm sure I saw a potential option for you to use it in the advertisement?
You can use Patreon widgets. Click on Connections, connect your Patreon account, and you should see them when editing your video dynamic descriptions. If you need more info visit our discord and we'll be glad to help: strms.net/discord_mercurybeta
Very much enjoyed this vid, Sam. Loved the thumbnail as well, and doing it all in Affinity just shows how amazing this software is...like you said before xD. Thank you for sharing this with us!
Arrows are like this secret passcode to getting people to click - out of all my 100+ videos, the 1 video where there's an arrow in the thumbnail has about 30% of my channel's views 😅
Just wanted to comment to help you out. You made a typo in the description, You spelt Thumbnails as " thunbnails" - First sentence, wouldn't want this video to miss out on SEO. Great content. Love it!
Text and vector elements are easier in Designer, but if you don't want to do that feel free. There was a reason, it just may not be one that you are able to notice.
@@SamWoodhall Designer is vector based software yeah however everything you did here is possible in photo following the same steps but i am curious what is your reasoning? or was it just force of habit lol
Who likes the look of this background? Is this something you might try for yourselves?
What paint do I buy for the wall ?
Googled it, not sure :D
Is there a "most useful sponsor ever" award? I think Mercury just won one.
Awesome! Looks like Mercury works for channels that were recently made, Thanks for the great video Sam :)
Very helpful. Thank you. Like the blue color
Sam this guide is AWESOME. So clear and helpful. Thank you!!!!!
Looks real nice, good work
Not only a thumbnail maker, but also a great video editor. Good job

what programs do you use?
Awesome tips, even for Photoshop users.
It would be nice, if you started a "I rate your Thumbnails" series.
Not a bad idea!
@@SamWoodhall Love your content
Glad to see more people trying out Mercury. It’s been an integral part of my video publishing process since the beta launched.

Love this, always good to learn new ways to do thumbnails
the shadow on you finger changed too. to be honest i noticed that change first. thanks for the info Sam. i shared this on my twitter
Definitely learned some things, thank you
Always clutch with the tutorials!
Thanks Sam :) I really need to get learning the Affinity Suite. I keep defaulting back to Photoshop as I still have it.
Damn I still have so much to learn about Affinity Photo, exciting!!
This is a pretty good video. Now my question is can you do it with Canva?

So sam I use Gimp cause I am broke atm will Gimp do all this stuff as well?
do you have a thumbnail video for beginner's ?
Arrows are like this secret passcode to getting people to click - out of all my 100+ videos, the 1 video where there's an arrow in the thumbnail has about 30% of my channel's views 😅
Now I think I need to learn how to use Affinity Designer/Photo!
"We've all been there"
Me: n- no? I haven't?
Awesome... content. Keep doing stuff with Affinity apps
Sam why do camera lenses hate English skin we are always red and splotchy lol without light and color adjustments😎😎😎
white text + white outline? 🤔
Helps if you want to make a thinner font a little bit thicker 😏

Sam, please please do a thumbnail review video for gamers... and feel free to include mine hehe
good morning Sam
Hello
Early
nice intro
also there was absolutely no reason at all to use designer in this thumbnail lol
Text and vector elements are easier in Designer, but if you don't want to do that feel free. There was a reason, it just may not be one that you are able to notice.

Preference is my reasoning, and it's reasoning enough.
