This is really helpful for someone who has 0 knowledge with FCPX! thanks a lot!
@Renkun im glad that you found this helpful. Cheers
Eres el mejor. Excelente referencia. Gracias
Hey bro please help, when i export the thumbnail the file is too large to upload to youtube, how can i fix thhis? Or maybe compress the file without losing quality? Thanks! ♥️💯
so for youtube just make your thumb in a 1080p project not a 4k project and that should solve your problem or you can airdrop the file to your phone and I think youtube studio app will allow you to upload bigger files
So glad I can do this in fcpx. Saves buying another programme!! Nice one!!
Cheers to that. Adobe starts to get expensive
Awesome, i gotta watch like 100 times
This video really helped me out! Thanks so much!
I glad to hear this video helped you out Tammy. Cheers
Great tutorial. I used to make all my thumbnails in FCPX but now I use an awesome graphic designer on Fiverr to make them for me. He's got a better eye than I do. ;)
thanks, I find FCPX just qucik and easy for my workflow.
@@LowellProductions You know it.
This was great, thanks!
Wow. I will be watching this a few times. Amazing. My thumbnails are terrible and this should help.
Thanks dude. I appreciate the positive vibes. If you run into any issues feel free to reach out
A most helpful post - thank u for sharing post.
Hi
Thanks so much for this Tutorial really showed me how much effort it takes but once it's done it's well worth it
Question though
How do I now use the created Thumbail on my actual Fcx project once created?
Once created in your timeline, export the frame as a jpg and then hit command+ I and import the now created thumbnail back into the project. Hopefully that is what you were looking for. Also export 1920x1080 for RUclips
The created Thumbail is back in the project but not on the project as a Thumbnail
@@LowellProductions ah yeah
I didn't change it to a JPEG
Very much appreciated
Thanks buddy! I love the secret of fcpx. SUBSCRIBED!
Cheers SOGO! Thanks for the sub and cheers to you FCPX journey
So much superb info in such a short space of time! Excellent - THANKYOU!!!
Glad you were able to find this video helpful. Cheers 🖥
The IN FCPX font was a bad choice mate! great tut a bit boring to watch though.
Speed up the little detail and focus on the final outcome. Keep'em coming! 😎
Good feedback Daniel. Cheers dude
Hey, I have a question. How do you attach your External SSD back to your Laptop?
I just purchased some velcro strips off on Amazon. Make sure to buy the ones that are not the cheapest just so they last longer. Cheers Nazmul
Thanks for the tips and hacks. So many things I need to learn on FCP!
No problem Sharon, glad this video was able to help you out. Cheers
Top notch turotial. Thanks man.
Thank you. 😎 cheers
I'm having issues with the file size uploading to youtube. Any recs on reducing file size?
I find that if I export the image from a 4K timeline the file will be to big. Make sure to export your image in a 1080 project and the file size should work for you. Hopefully that helps. Cheers
@@LowellProductions I ended up exporting the frame as a JPEG. I have no idea what I'm doing but that seemed to work. In any case I'm loving the Thumbnail and this video was super helpful. I seriously appreciate it so much!
whenever I put the mask on the edge of the text it jut gets separated from the title. It doesn't go behind the head like your S does. Any ideas why ?
Possibly invert the mask?
Very useful stuff....and all without diving into photoshop. Thanks 😊
Thanks. I find it simple and more cost efficient to just use fcpx. I saw you released some new content, good stuff.
I learned a lot 🥰 newbie FCPX thanks!
Thanks Han, glad to hear this video helped you out. Cheers

Thanks Idance. glad that you were able to find this video helpful. Cheers
I do not have the option to save current frame.
Appreciated the information! I have saved the video so that I can go back and try and duplicate the process
Thanks I hope you find it helpful and feel free to reach out if you hit a roadblock
What software/applications do you guys use to make your social media thumbnails?? Would love to know the pros and cons of some of the other applications. What are some tips and tricks you recommend for thumbnails to grab peoples attention??
interesting way to create a thumbnail. I typically use adobe photoshop to create my thumbnails.
Awesome vid man!
Thanks dude
Tried to follow your vid. You have skipped or cut parts out. Not sure if you noticed, but can follow every direction.
This was very helpful! Thank you!
Glad you found this helpful. Cheers
totally helpful thanks 🥰
Thanks Pally, glad this video helped you out. Cheers
Says my file is bigger than 2MB please help
Make sure your timeline/project is 1920x1080, if you export the file from a 4K timeline the file will be to big. Hope that helps
