Sam's thumbnails are the reason half of you are subscribed lol
Yep
Agree! the channels thumbnails are dope! well done sam!
Hello
True
Can't understand sorry
sadly i did not click into this video as there were no red circles or scantily clad women in the thumbnail. better luck next time
He didn't even photoshop his eyes to bug out!
No
lol didnt even see yet
OMG. This was SPOT ON.
Bruh
For everyone asking which software, he is using Affinity Designer.
Saturation: 100
Hue: red
+1000 views
I don't like using those sorry but they are awful effects in my thumbnail,
+ rainbow border
@@Ripply I feel called out. I've been doing a rainbow border for ages
@@phratesriver BRO WHY TF ARE YOU ALWAYS IN MY REPLIES LMAO
Making thumbnails is probably the part of RUclips that I am most confident with but I still make sure to watch any videos like this to pick up new tips!
I'd never heard of that website before, so I'll be using that from now on, and I think I'll look into the lighting in my thumbnails to make them pop a bit more. Thanks Sam!
Sam: “I simply just added...”
Also Sam: Goes on to pull off some incredible Lightroom magic in fast motion.
Everyone else: “ok, so how do I play the video in .01x speed to try copy” 😅
You are the man Sam! 🏆
Ya these def aren’t tutorials... they are speed runs with fast talking. Entertaining=yes, helpful= no. But if you are already a pro at using these tools, then it could give ideas. So that is cool.
@@AJCoReTV it is actually extremely helpful, this definitely isn't a tutorial but a brainstorm and reasoning explanation video on what makes for a standout and clickable thumbnail
Always love seeing other peoples process of creating thumbnails, mine have deffo got better over the years! happy new year guys!
Great video! Lots of neat tricks. I'd like to see Sam's reaction on my wonky thumbnails haha.
I see you there :P
Well almost every one has a weapon or banana penetrating someone. They seem to be doing pretty well lol.
I've been doing thumbnails for youtubers for a couple of years now and I would like to point out that at 5:12 you can see why text is usually placed on the left side of the image, the timer blocking the text is a mistake I notice a lot of people make.
I saw the same and that's where I stopped the video. The very first thumbnail and it ignores this basic concept.
Sam is just the best at everything isn’t he
Agreed!!
What about fat loss?
Not fat shaming he's not unhealthy.
I'm quite chubby myself
@@rubyfire9666 JEEEZ mate
@@neelb980 sorry man
Sam is the man! I really enjoy the info and techniques he brings to the table.
Great video Sam! Thanks for the advice.
I'm self-aware enough to know that my thumbnails suck, but I lacked the knowledge of how to improve them. This was extremely helpful, thank you so much!
The best tip ive ever gotten was to go to a channel thats doin better then you with content similar to yours. Pick three elements you like from their thumbnails, and do that with three channels. Now you have 9 elements you can combine for each new thumbnail. Not all 9 obv cause itd be cluttered and some will conflict with eachother.
Starts at 2:26
Last time I was this early it wasn’t Senpai Studios
They were on point after the upgrade!!
Oh man, have been doing some of this for a while now. Helps a ton, i'm pretty basic in my style though but it works very well lately.
As always a great video! Thanks a lot Sam! You're amazing!
Nice, Sam is on point again. Just made my first edited video, but I used like 3 minutes in paint to make a thumbnail.
Sam have made me start using Designer way more. And I starting to like this program a lot =) Thank you Sam!
Out of all days, this videcame out the exact day I’ve been wanting to learn how to make great thumbnails, The universe is really on my side! Ty! Alpha!!
Sam, you're the GOAT of design! Thanks for the tips for us youtubers!😁👍
You should do more of these
Yeah great advice. Its alot of personal style to the edits and the youtuber themself to give it that nice inresting style. Honest the more videos i do the better the videos get & thumbnail but thats me. Google luck to everyone and don’t stop keep making
Hope everyone has a great day
i had my whole subscription feed open and this video caught my eye, can confirm it works.
The biggest thing I would change in Bobomojo's RGB setup thumbnail is the contrast of the photo itself. I think colored areas could be brightened more to really make them pop, as there's a little too much darkness surrounding the lights. I think it looks really good as is, don't get me wrong, but there's just a little more detail that can be pushed into it.
this vid was so nice and done well
What are some good fonts to use? I typically just use Bangers because it looks good and it's free.
Thank you Sam for the new thumbnail! I love it
Is there any way I can get ahold of it?
Thanks for the tips, Sam! If I may add a suggestion in case you ever do this again is to please use Discord or another platform for entries, because Twitter has a 4-image limit and that wasn't enough for the assets I used in my thumbnail! I know I wasn't the only one. I saw some people do a reply to their reply with the rest of the assets but I can tell you didn't pick those.
I've been wanting this video for a while. Thanks so much!
Excellent Video!!! Very Informative!!
"VIdeo on my main channel"
Me: Oh wait, this isn't a video on Sam's channel haha
Sam, this was a helpful video, EXCEPT... what were you using? Photoshop? I don't know a lot of small RUclips channels that can afford or even know how to use Photoshop. Can you recommend easier/cheaper solutions?
So, thumbnails need colour, droptext, faces, and to have the timestamp cover up a quarter of it.
Hey man, been looking more into making my thumbnails stand out and you definitely made this at a good time. Thanks for the awesome advice!!!!
Sam, this is it, I think you should have a youtube section that's dedicated to thumbnail METAS!!! breaking down the best youtube gaming thumbnails , why they work so well and how they are made.
This guy is Amazing.
What tool/app his he useing to make the thumbnails
7:26 I would love to see you guys make a video elaborating on video titles, how to make them more searchable, clickable, etc. You mentioned here that it would stay clickable, but become more searchable in RUclips search; why is that?
Thanks for the video! Great as always!
Buzz words or icons in the thumbnail itself (like the only $100 and an arrow) are clickable. Your eyes are drawn to them and they're simple and leading. But words like "guide to" are searchable (highly) in the youtube algorithm. Unless your video is a vlog or something with no real purpose other than your viewers watching you, the title should ideally be searchable. I.e. "TOP 10 reasons", "Guide to ...", "How to...", "3 mistakes...". That's simplifying it a bit because not every video you make falls under a 'tutorial' style video. But that's the idea.
@@thatsasnek Thanks, this comment is very helpful. :D
I'd still like to see Sam's and Harris' thought processes behind their titles and what advice they have to creating good titles. Maybe what tools they use, like how Sam showed the thumbnail viewing tool to test what it looks like on RUclips.
@@aninjaninja9700 check out TubeBuddy if you’re still wanting some help. They offer feature like what you’re asking for
Does sam have a rash or an alergic reaction?
I’m going to miss the Alpha gaming brand and logo, but we all need to accept Senpi. Bit off topic but great thumbnails Sam!
Keen to see a new intro animation and video from Sam explaining how he did it :P
Bravo Sam! I appreciate this video! Going to be incorporating all you talked about into future thumbnails! Thank you!
This was great! I’ve posted 50+ vids and my thumbnails def need some work and this video is definitely helping in revamp of my thumbnails
Love this guy, genuine quality advise from a man who knows what he's talking about 💜
What's that software? Please reply if you know, it would really help :)
Crazy question for Sam (or anyone else who might be able to answer)
I’ve been creating thumbnails for every video I ever uploaded and have seen the same amount of views as the one or 2 videos that have a RUclips generated thumbnail. Am I wasting my time editing the thumbnails? (is my audience clicking my videos regardless or thumbnail for example) I know I should always try to improve my thumbnails (which is why I clicked this video) but I feel like maybe the direction i’m editing my thumbnails in is bad? 🤔
Can you tell me which software do you use to make thumbnails?
Literally been searching for this video for the last 24 hours! Thank you!
WHAT FONTS DID YOU USE , THESE FONTS ARE AWESOME ✌️
Thanks for the tips Sam, will need to incorporate these into my own!
Awesome video Sam! Thanks for the tips! I agree with everything you said, but I still suck at using those programs and being creative 🤣
Why is this guy so happy
beautiful, gonna start doing this stuff from now ahah
Sam vids is where it's at
this is the most helpful thumbnail video ive ever seen thank you so much.
This is just what I needed!
So I just gotta slap some arrows and phrases like 0mG and WoW!
his voice makes it so easy to follow along
oh sweet, i was just thinking I need to start making thumbnails. this is great, thanks!
Sam, please explain the red stripe going down the middle of your face
What app are you using?????
It’s soooo good
I love your content. Keep up the good work.
Goddamn Sam's a Master
Excellent advice my friend! I will implement it to my channel for sure! :)
This was so helpful :D thank youuu
Damn Sam. YOU DO make a huge effort on em hey :D
I cannot unhear that Sam sounds like Neil Buchanan (only UK might know who this is) from Art Attack.🎨
how do you get good looking arrows, if i google them they all look bad
This was helpful! Hopefully the quality of my thumbnails gradually get better over time
can you guys review the vantop moment 4 it is a $50 action cam with a 170 degree angle and when you plug it in to your pc it registers as a webcam on obs with no camlink
Thank you
Damn, fingers were crossed. Good info though!
What is your primary program for making these thumbnails?
What website do you use to edit your thumbnails looks way better than photopea or photoshop
moooore sam content
SAMMMMMMMMMMM WE LOVE YOUUUUUUUUUU
What softwhere are you using to edit photos
Nice vid gonna implement some of the knowledge to my thumbnails. 🤙🏾
I needed this thank you😁
Happy New year
Ok so I don’t have a gaming channel but this is still so helpful. Every time I go to make a thumbnail I’m just like... “ok here’s my face for the 20th time, hope you like it!”
My CTR isn’t bad but it could be better.
Bro you need the Doc to give you some "Micreme" sort those rashes out, it works.
Thanks
Good thumbnails must admit.
uhhhgg this is like school all over again, because i don't feel like paying someone to give me something meh. time to study
This is so helpful!
Just what i was looking for
The video I’ve been waiting on
Sam, how do you get your backgrounds so dark without being grainy? I’m having a heck of a time with graininess on my GoPro hero 8 videos. Doesn’t help that my office has dark, navy blue walls.
what program does sam use?
looks like photoshop tbh not sure if it is tho
Lil, nice Iris blur on the thumbnail for this vid XD.
Can u give more tips for people streaming from their Xbox
Great video Sam. Can you do one on logos / RUclips intros? THANKS
Which editing software did you use?
When creating thumbnails, is there a place you can go to find assets, such as characters, that are royalty free and able to be used for thumbnails?
i think i stil can improve a lot on my thumbnails :) so i watch stuff like this
i love how youtube fucking recommended me jackspeticeye's thumbnail video next to this
even youtube has realized harris looks like a mix between jack and Chris Broad sometimes
Awesome video, Sam!! Wish I'd known about it beforehand, would love a fellow Brummie to add some sparkle to my own thumbs!! Look forward to your next video!
🔥🔥🔥
