I swear I could still make thumbnails in Gimp if I had enough time to remember all the controls 😅
do it, you won’t
You did good for the utilities/software you had
Seriously try make one of your next video thumbnails in GIMP, see if we notice!
Okay
New video idea
My favorite part of the video is the top quality animations for the revisions. So smooth and clean that I almost took it for granted.
They're so good! And they probably took a team member a while to do them. The knife animating and leaving a cut on the phone. That's slick.
So much time expended on the little things. That is what makes this whole team so amazing!
I’m honestly not sure if my fav channel is studio or MKBHD! I am a sucker for this BTS and less structured stuff
You & me both😅
What is BTS?

Tim giving honest reviews is insane. Your boss is right next to you and yet you're honest and yourself. That's what I love about this studio group.
A lot of people have the power to do this more than they realize.
Being a fan/subscriber of the channel since the early days, this video hit me hard. You can see the sadness in Marques’ eyes when the lg flex thumbnail gets brought up. For a channel that hit Samsung so hard for the fake moon pictures, having ultra processed images that simply don’t exist in real life rubs me the wrong way. On the other hand, he’s doing so well that he can afford to pay a person exclusively to create thumbnails. Insane flex.
I really enjoy the animated mock-ups of a more modern versions of old thumbnails!
Tim is the type of person who'll pat you on the back after he verbally eviscerates you
Did I roast Marques enough or nah
There's still time ⏳🔥
🐐
Ur thumbnails are 🐐🐐
down with gimp! 😂
Great design work, Tim! That F-150 Lightning piece was definitely incredible. It deserved to be blown up in a magazine.
I like the old thumbnails, I can just remember when UA-cam wasn't full of crazy faces as thumbnails
yea we rlly need to get back to that
There is a firefox extension called "Clickbait remover for UA-cam" that replaces thumbnails with a shot from the video.
Gotta love Tim. He is so humble 21:00
This video, together with the wvfrm podcast, made Friday officially my best day of the week
Right?! I watched waveform today 15mins after it was published and it made my Friday evening much better.
I'm about to start this video 😊
@melissa.deklerk would it be weird if I said I sometimes listen to the audio podcast, then watch the video 😅
@@jefiyeoh I understand! Sometimes you absolutely have to see the facial expressions and the interaction between the guys. It adds so much to the entertainment value.
@@melissa.deklerk yeah
Tim talking about how he felt affirmation after the thumbnail went viral,
Meanwhile Marques: BICEP
21:18 My boy Marques showing off his guns 🤣
It was seriously so cool to see the process behind both of their final products. Amazing work, gentlemen 🤙🏼
As a graphic designer these types of videos inspire me ! Keep up the great work
Tim you are a genius, and a great addition too the team. You make everything we see, visually appealing. Keep up the good work 🎉🎉🎉
As a graphic designer with about 15 years of experience in my career...I shared the cringe with Tim when Marques was describing his old process!
Reminded me of when clients or developers would try to do my job for me back in the day.
I had to learn Jedi Master level restraint! 😂
That being said, MKBHD's old thumbnails still look good despite the bootleg process.
These Studio uploads always fills the fun part I'm missing from the informative and super interesting videos on the main channel and waveform podcast. Love it.
This insight is so incredibly important for those of us trying to start creating. Thanks so much for sharing! Also love how most of Tim's input is how each edit made him feel. Its not all about the data or the analytics; even talented pros like Tim have moments of self doubt which is so reassuring to hear.
Love this video! Thanks Tim for your hard work, and humility.
Tim - You are really good at what you do. 👍🏼
I love MKBHD channel videos, but Studio videos are extremely wholesome and fun!
Tim's work is actually so inspiring, I've checked out his Instagram and his page and the things he did/does are pretty cool. I'm glad he gets to express his thoughts and his work because most of the time the work he does on videos just doesn't get the praise it should. Keep up the great work!
So interesting to see how your thumbnails have evolved. Also the whole visual identity of The Studio channel is SO nice! Love it!
I love how humble and great of a boss, Marques is. TBH, watching those old videos, I really enjoyed Marques's thumbnails a lot at the time. It was still a level above everyone else and with Tim joining and The Studio talent expanding that quality of work has just kept on increasing. Kudos to you all!
Such a good choice to include the revised version of the thumbnails. Appreciate it so much
Tim is crushing this!
👍 Nicely done, Tim (and these kinds of "behind the scenes" always fascinate me)
We love your work tim! Keep going! ❤
14:34 Tim explaining how he worked so hard on the thumbnail.
Marques: C+ ☠️
I personally love Tim's messages icon because when I see it, and I've already seen it, I want to rewatch it, just the thumbnail really draws me in
I'd love to see the break down of how Tim did the Ford Lightning edit. I did the same thumbnail with my Model Y review, and I had troubleling up the car between the different shots.
I didnt expect to like this video as much as i did! We need more Tim content and he needs some more positive affirmation! He's great at what he does! 🏆
Love this video, great dynamic between you 2
Thanks guys! Love all your videos
We want more of such videos, absolutely enjoyed watching!
This video is another example of why videos on this channel are rewatchable. So interesting to get these little reveals about how the small unsung details of a video come together - 8 hour edit of a photograph! That picture of the city reflected on the back of the phone, seeing how much the details and workflow have changed. Great 👍🏾
This video was fun to watch. Big-ups Tim!
Great work Tim! I use photoshop and gimp for architectural rendering so I know how difficult your work can be. Especially when there's time constraints. Your thumbnails are generally awesome. Definitely keep up the good work!
Loves this - as a graphic design student this is super insightful!
This was a great video! Thumbs up for Tim 😊 Awesome job on the thumbnails!
Tim's got talent! Making it all look so easy. A hunky nerd - who knew!!
*Thanks for the video!*
Man I love this channel and your team!
Love these kinds of topic! It’s super interesting to watch!!!
Awesome bunch of talented people. Thanks for sharing.✌️💯
The motion graphics in these are top notch 👌
Dude where can I get that magnet lamp thing in the video, it looks sick
Great work, Tim!
i do my thumbnails in Davinci.. Awesome to see Tims and Marques insights behind these seemingly simple thumbnails. There's much to learn
MKBHD thumbnails are next level, kudos Tim!!!
I'm surprised by the work that goes in to make the defining picture that actually makes or breaks ur videos. Big up to TIM. Love the work you do.
Oh boy more for these type of content please ❤
Andrew - Tim 🐐 - Marquez: This was good, thank you. Great team; great concept. Looking forward to more.
Love the work Tim 👌🏽🔥
Always fun to watch these 😁
A good in-house graphic designer is a must. Nice work Tim.
Love the recent uploads!
Awesome work Tim!
Tim's thumbnails never miss, all of them feel very modern MKBHD
This was a dope video i love the studio
Wow those two car thumbnails had a lot of stuff comped out.... nice job!
I love the aesthetic of the studio thumbnails
Man I love this team so much!
Cool to see the alternate thumbnails
I love The Studio channel!
Roasting your boss!! We need more of this at the work place!!😂
Thanks Tim for inspiring a newer generation of Graphic Designers ❤️
I've been waiting for this video since Andrew dropped the bomb in a podcast that marques literally edits his thumbnails in Final Cut
Great work Tim!!
I love the crackhead energy and editing when Marques says, “For a little extra pop”😂 @10:43 made me laugh so hard for no reason, made my day. Long time fan! Great video, as always! ❤
Great work Tim ✨👌🏽
It's crazy that Marques was making thumbnails in GIMP! I use that for all of my thumbnails and although some things aren't accessible from PS, it's still a reliable software I'd recommend!
Tim is underrated. I love his edits.
This really makes me curious as to when certain members of the studio started working for MKBHD now that we have a timeline that the M1 iPad Pro thumbnail is Tim’s first
amazing video want more parts of it
"Did you make my bicep look bigger?" lmao Marques please 😂
Marques is one of the only UA-camrs that doesn't look ugly or awkward in the thumbnail.
Cool! Thanks for sharing it ✌️
Loved this soo much
Ah, I love this channel so much. Maybe more than the main one. 😮
Lovely, thank you. Love your work, Tim.
Big ups, Tim 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾
Ayeeee Tim's on again
These animations 😍
shout out Tim- we see u, we love u, and of it wasn't for ur work, we woudn't watch the videos in the first place
This a good video, the revise version is the best part of this video
One of my favorites is still the Fairphone-thumbnail with tiny Marquez.
I really like your thumnails!
give this man a raise
GIMP DAYS OMG! THE INTERNAL RAGE, I FEEL FOR TIM! Graphic design buds! Just goes to show Designers are essential for amount of time and thinking behind each art. *chef's kiss!* the great designers are always so humble 21:00
Good work mate Tim 😍
Two thumbs up for Tim! 👍👍
Great job Tim!
So helpful, just reviewing my thumbnails! and funny
What software does Tim use for thumbnails?
Tim using the term gear was unexpected and cool
Love these type of videos. I was a graphic designer for a few years back in high school (for... Call of Duty sniping teams), and did my fair share of thumbnails as well. Used Photoshop of course, so hearing that Marques used Gimp really hurt my soul. I remember I took "College Web Design" in 10th grade, and we had to use Gimp... it was disgusting. I just did everything at home on Photoshop lol.
Lame
Well done Tim!
Fun video, this. So much work went into them!
The soundtrack of this video makes me expect Lew is going to talk for an hour. I miss Lew Later.
Gimp is a good free alternative - photopea is a GREAT free 'alternative'.
