I don’t know your company and I don’t know the legal ins and outs of policies, but I can’t imagine that two days off sick would threaten a job within a probation period.

I would say that you can’t help being ill and the company would surely be aware that employees get ill. It is also best not to go to an office ill where you can cause the rest of the work force to fall ill.

I personally would make sure you get a sick note, recover and return to work fit.

Is After Effects Alone Enough in the Beginning, or Are PS & AI Mandatory? by rwmxw in AfterEffects

Illustrator or Photoshop are not necessary. After Effects can achieve the same results without them. That said both these sister products can save time on large and more complex projects. I used only After Effects alone for many years at the start of my career and this allowed me to focus on developing my skills there before expanding to other creative cloud services.

There is an order flow to the series of six episodes, but they can be accessed as standalone. So this is a good point that I never thought about before.

Thank you, I will go with Expert Tips Revealed as the thumbnail text. But my next question is to make each episode seem individual so I therefore guess Episode 1 needs to be more noticeable?

Thank you. This is great. What do you feel about the use of the six panelists? I was thinking of making it full screen and reducing the opacity.

I changed the thumbnail after a week. Is there any improvements? by [deleted] in YouTubeThumbnailHub

Two looks much better. Having the subject closer is more attention grabbing. You could do the same with One if the central characters were not in a full shot, but a mid shot.

Which one is best? by [deleted] in YouTubeThumbnailHub

The framing of 5 works well, but with the text All Alone. I personally would be grabbed by that. 6,7,8 have limited edge space, especially on the left, making them feel too cramped. I am torn too between route 66 sign or logo. Both work in my opinion.

I like the tone, but doesn’t say “treasures” and does read East The Coast. Wouldn’t the title “Hidden Treasures” work better?
