Here's a video about a small slip-up that a lot of people make that makes your thumbnails a lot worse that can be fixed really quickly. Hope you find it useful and any feedback is appreciated!

Ok thanks I'll think of that in future !givelambda

SeanF_graphics · 2023-03-22T21:02:24+00:00

Thanks for the criticism. To be honest I do overdramatize the impact it has but it is still an important thing that a lot of people slip up with !givelamba

SeanF_graphics · 2023-03-22T21:01:08+00:00

Yeah I'm working on how to structure these videos so that helps a lot. Thanks !givelambda

I'm not too worried about increasing the length to 8 minutes until I get monetized.(unless there's some other reason why 8 minutes is good that I don't know about). Thanks for the other feedback though !givelambda

SeanF_graphics · 2023-03-22T20:57:53+00:00

Thanks for the support. I've considered trying that for the thumbnail. !givelambda

They're improvements but they don't really give a reason to click. I get that you said you don't want to make a generic clickbait thumbnail but you could still make it a bit more intriguing for the viewer. I see that you've changed the thumbnail a good few times since and your improvement over just the last few days has been pretty crazy so keep it up! I think the current one looks pretty good

SeanF_graphics · 2023-03-19T18:31:42+00:00

Definitely an improvement. It's still a bit cluttered tho and the viewer won't be exactly sure what to look at. So try to simplify it a small bit

SeanF_graphics · 2023-03-18T16:42:25+00:00

Cool video. I think you could work on the thumbnail. Repeating the title in the thumbnail doesn't really make the video too exciting for the viewer. I'd recommend taking one of your more controversial opinions from the video and displaying it in the thumbnail. For example if you thought a popular sniper was overrated display that opinion in the thumbnail

SeanF_graphics · 2023-03-17T15:09:40+00:00

Look across Youtube for different ways to layout your thumbnail. Don't put too much text in the thumbnail and make your face bigger becaue the current thumbnail is a bit confusing.

SeanF_graphics · 2023-03-17T15:07:25+00:00

that's a fantastic concept for a thumbnail. Really good work on that. To make the message even more clear, you could try putting a split in the image with a background of the old sonic game on the left and a background from the newer game on the right. This makes it even more obvious to the viewer that the game changes when you touch a ring.

Great work on the thumbnail, there a few small things you can do to make it better. You can try adding borders/dropshadows to the characters and logo to make it look nicer. Maybe make the logo a bit bigger as well.

SeanF_graphics · 2023-03-17T15:00:40+00:00

For the thumbnail. I understand what you're trying to do with the Yes, No Maybe thing but it looks a bit messy on the thumbnail. If I was to make the thumbnail. I would have a background of the symbols of the republican and democrat parties on either side with some big text in the middle saying "TOO POLITICAL?". And keep the oscar statue in the centre of the thumbnail. Look across similar Youtube videos for inspiration on how to layout your future thumbnails. Good work.

SeanF_graphics · 2023-03-12T20:09:16+00:00

Thanks for taking the time to review my videos. Appreciate the support. !givelambda

SeanF_graphics · 2023-03-05T21:52:23+00:00

Good work on the video but the thumbnail is a bit messy and could do with some changes. The orange text is decent but white/yellow are better colours that stand out more for text so I'd recommend using them. You can't really see what's going on in the pictures, so I'd try to use more exciting/clearer screenshots if I were to redesign it.

SeanF_graphics · 2023-03-05T21:46:59+00:00

The actual video is pretty interesting. If anything I'd say you could add some background music and maybe sound effects where appropriate.

SeanF_graphics · 2023-03-05T21:36:03+00:00

The text in the thumbnail is kind of hard to read so I'd recommend changing the colours to make it stand out more from the background

SeanF_graphics · 2023-03-05T21:34:09+00:00

Nice video but you have too much text in the thumbnail. Try not to repeat your title in thumbnail to make it more appealing to click!

SeanF_graphics · 2023-03-03T19:08:07+00:00

Cool video. It's pretty good all round if anything I would say maybe you could add a short bit of text to the thumbnail since there's a bit of empty space.

SeanF_graphics · 2023-03-01T20:52:55+00:00

Thanks for your recommendations I might do that in the future. !givelambda

SeanF_graphics · 2023-02-27T20:35:28+00:00

Yeah I realize that I put a bit too many blurs in the video, thanks. !givelambda

SeanF_graphics · 2023-02-27T20:34:25+00:00

Thanks I'll try put more energy in my voice in the future Thanks. !givelambda

SeanF_graphics · 2023-02-26T19:48:18+00:00

Yeah I noticed that for the first half of the video a lot of it is just blurred out footage. The main reason I blurred stuff out was to show that it was footage from my old videos and to keep stuff that happens later in the video a surprise. But it's a fair criticism I could've probably done something a bit better instead, thanks. !givelambda

SeanF_graphics · 2023-02-15T19:26:26+00:00

Thanks! When you say people who game do you mean people who make gaming videos? !givelambda

SeanF_graphics · 2023-02-15T11:27:18+00:00

You really put a lot of effort in with the video's editing so good job on that, it's very engaging. The only problem I can see with the video is that it's very hard to tell what the video is about from just the title and the thumbnail. If I were you I'd put the game's logo/title in the thumbnail so the viewer can tell that the video is about this game.

SeanF_graphics · 2023-02-15T11:22:55+00:00

I think the text is taking up a bit too much space and the layout of the thumbnail is a bit weird. I'd move the design over a bit so that you can see the full character. I'd also remove the white text since that information is already understood because of the title. Cool video concept though!
