  • In this video, I'll show you how I created the thumbnail for this video in less than 5 minutes, without photoshop.
    Canva Pro for background removal and thumbnail template library: www.patflynn.com/canva
    I also use Ecamm Live to film my poses to get the best one, although you can use any video camera or recording capture device that has high-quality video. Here's the link to Ecamm Live:

    I use Canva Pro for all of my thumbnails, too. I just set up a template to create different versions like you eluded to in this video. Also, the Glow effect is a super easy way to get a white outline around your picture or other objects to make them pop from the background. Great video, Pat. Thanks for always keeping us informed!

    Thanks for the tutorial! Small tip, you can start with the thumbnail template than add your image and remove bg. A bit faster imo.

    • @DavidBaughier
      @DavidBaughier Рік тому +2

      I don't comment on these often but I thought of this as I watched. Correct, you can simply drag the full original image and then click on the image, then effect, and then BG remover once it is on top of the template/graphic design background. Saves the redownload, save, and reimport step.

    Super great video *Pat* definitely going to send all 10 of my subscribers over to check it out as I don't believe in redoing the master's work in another format. You thumbnails as always rock my friend. Still plugging and chugging at doing a channel based on Thumbnails only. Great tools introduced. Was your CANVA thumbnail that you used also a CANVA PRO Thumbnail Template?

    • @patflynn
      @patflynn  2 роки тому +1

      Thanks for that, and the thumbnail was a part of the search template gallery, I don't believe that to be just PRO only, but I'm not 100% sure.

    Why do that? All I do is that whenever a person sends me their photo and they’re facing the wrong way, just use the mirror and turn it the first way. You only needed to do it once and then use the mirror.

    UA-cam Thumbnail...
    does it really require a meme face? (creator's picture) to rank better?
    does it really help the algorithms?
    Yeahh topic is meme faces but I'm not trolling, these are genuine questions.

    • @patflynn

      People connect with Faces and we are wired to stop to look at them, I think it requires balance for sure and depends on your niche and the topic

    Canva - putting thumbnail designers out of business since 2013. This is the sad part of our current economy. For every tool like this out there, a multitude of people that suffer as a result of losing work. Eventually, even UA-camrs will be replaced by AI tubers.
