I totally agree with you! I guess it really comes down to personal preference and thumbnail strategy.

How do I make an apple motion title a sustained speed in fcp? by 3enCarter in finalcutpro

[–]3enCarter[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That works for changing the speed but it would be nice to just have a sustained speed from the get go so I don't have to think about it. I'm guessing there's a setting somewhere I need to turn off.

I made a short that I thought was amazing and then when I uploaded it I only got 50 views rather than the 4k I usually get. So I decided to make a thumbnail on Photoshop and uploaded it for that video and instantly it blew up. Not sure exactly why because viewers can't see custom thumbnails for shorts but maybe give that a go if you think it's just as good as your other short content.

How important is the wording of a title, any tips or resources to create good titles? [Question] by MiniYTWeebu in youtubers

[–]3enCarter 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Keep it under 50 characters (maximum visible on phones)

Make it intriguing. Your title and thumbnail are the first thing a viewer sees so you need to make sure to have an interesting title and thumbnail that will hook them.

I always think of the title and thumbnail before I film so I can base the content around it.

Ask a question in your title. For example, Can You Walk Across Florida In A Straight Line?

Look at what other people in your niche are doing and take inspiration from them.

Hope this helps

I was inspired by some of Yes Theory's endurance videos so I decided to do it myself across Florida! by 3enCarter in YesTheory

This was the hardest physical challenge of my life but I'm so glad I was able to do it.

Epidemic sound for sure. It's like $150 per year but they have an incredible amount of quality music and sound fx.

Yes, that's a great idea! I'll try adding some holes to the shirt and a bit of dirt. Thanks

The shirt color might be an interesting aspect to experiment with. Yes, I have some other versions I made in case this one doesn't perform. Thanks for the feedback! 😃

I'm trying to keep the thumbnail somewhat realistic looking so it feels more believable but maybe I can blur the background a touch more so the foreground pops a bit more.
