Easy Way To Make Backgrounds For Thumbnails!
Here's my step by step process to making backgrounds. I this video I go through the standard grass hill/blue sky background that's seen the most, but this workflow can be applied to pretty much all backgrounds you make.
Just remember the golden rule:
Backgrounds should create context, NOT distraction.

This is incredible man, thabk you. New creator here and im struggling with my thumbnails pretty bad. I have saved this video and i will be using it for a while until i remember all these steps on my own. Thankfully im not that new to Adobe creative so i love this more advanced techniques here!
Really great tutorial! 10 likes! At the same time I realize the implication is that the world (or at least UA-cam thumbnails) are getting less and less realistic and more and more dramatic 😅
