    Is there a "most useful sponsor ever" award? I think Mercury just won one.

    Awesome tips, even for Photoshop users.
    It would be nice, if you started a "I rate your Thumbnails" series.

    Arrows are like this secret passcode to getting people to click - out of all my 100+ videos, the 1 video where there's an arrow in the thumbnail has about 30% of my channel's views 😅

    Thank god for HISTORY on a browser. I switched over to my other YT channel and I was like banging my head trying to remember what this video title was hahahaha.
    I already said it on my other account, but thanks for making this video and for sharing Mercury. I'm still getting used to it and I hope they add MORE stuff eventually so you can really customize your templates, but in the meantime I am enjoying the tool!

    those amazon lights are legit! I got them when you first mentioned them in a previous vid. great buy, worth the money. Flicker for me only happens in some of the colors/intensities.

      You can use Patreon widgets. Click on Connections, connect your Patreon account, and you should see them when editing your video dynamic descriptions.

      Text and vector elements are easier in Designer, but if you don't want to do that feel free. There was a reason, it just may not be one that you are able to notice.
