      ▶︎ I must admit though that I'm a bit confused by what you wrote here.
      ▶︎ To VIEW the different images on this video (which appear at the bottom of the Description), I simply click the "SHOW MORE" link which is just above this Comments area.
      ▶︎ When I can see the full Description, I scroll down to just above this Comments are and see that each of the Chapters in THIS video are showing a different image from the video.
      ▶︎ Once this is visible, perhaps you may understand why I was confused by your comment.
      ▶︎ Let me know if you have any questions, I'm always happy to help 🙂

      ✅ @@LearnAIwithRitika - ahh I reread your question - "will these thumbnails for each chapter come automatically or can i add or control in some manner?".
      ✅ If you wAnt actual "thumbnail" images to appear in your videos, you need to (1) create the images, (2) add the images to the correct timestamp in the video editing software, and (3) upload the video to UA-cam.
      ✅ After that it takes a couple of days for the images to appear in the correct position within the published video. I hope this clarifies and helps :-)

    If I understand you correctly, you have 2 video timelines in your video editor. One contains the footage that is displayed when you play the video, for example a video of you walking through your garden. The other (above the former in the editor) contains the thumbnails you have generated to be used when dividing your garden video into chapters. How does UA-cam decide which timeline to pick the thumbnail from? Many thanks.

      ▼ Hi there @ProfPtarmigan - thanks for reaching out. UA-cam does not choose different things from different timelines in a video, it is the creator of the video who sets up the timelines before they upload the video to UA-cam.
      ▼ Many videos have many timelines containing video, clips, B-roll, images, audio, etc etc.
      ▼ UA-cam can only see the finished video which the video creator have uploaded, and it is the video creator who has placed all of the assets (clips and images etc) into the correct positions for UA-cam to be able to use :-)
      ▼ So all of this work is done when the video creator is preparing the video BEFORE they upload it to UA-cam.
      ▼ In my video editing software, if I want an image to appear while the video is playing, I placed that image in the "correct position" to appear at a specific time, by placing that image in the line above the video clip.
      ▼ UA-cam is just showing what the video creator has already set up and UA-cam does not pick and choose from different parts of a video, it is reading the video file and playing whatever the video creator has already set up.

      @@TeenaHughesOnline Thank you for the quick response. Yes, I use the Photoshop video editor on Windows to merge timelines, in fact to overlay text or small images onto the 'main' footage. Your description implied that your second timeline contained the thumbnails rather than thumbnails were picked by UA-cam from your merged timelines - my mistake there. Video files can contain more than one video stream in the same way that they can contain more than one audio stream (eg. For stereo sound) so it was not an impossible idea. Thank you.

    Hi, I know you've answered part of my question already! I've added chapter markers to my video, and yes, they are currently all the same thumbnail (main video thumb). I will wait a couple of days (thanks for your input on that). You had mentioned that YT will change the chapter thumbnails to whatever is already in the video AT THE POINT OF THE CHAPTER START. Since all my chapters start from a fade to black, will all my chapter thumbnails be black? Obviously, that won't be much help to the viewer. You had mentioned using the video editor to create the thumbs. I use Premiere Pro for my editing and can't find a way to create the thumbnails within that process. I see you used Screenflow for Mac to do that. I downloaded the trial version of that (which is supposed to be the same as the purchased version without the watermark). I can't see how to add the thumbnails to the timeline. I just see video and audio tracks? Thanks for your tips!

      ▼ Hey @Anthonyzzz, you asked, "will all my chapter thumbnails be black?". Unfortunately I can't answer this precisely - UA-cam changes its algorithms whenever it needs to, and I have no exact knowledge of how each video's chapters will be affected (apart from what I've experience and written about). Let UA-cam show whatever it decides, then you can consider using Thumbnails in upcoming videos for Chapters. Have no fear, whatever UA-cam does for the Chapters will be just fine for the viewers :-)
      ▼ To create video Thumbnails, I use Canva, Keynote for Mac, video editing software - there are many ways to make the thumbnails. It will depend on your level of skill, and what you'd like the thumbnails to look like. Rather than trying to learn new video editing software, I'd start with Canva dot com, select a UA-cam template, and then design he thumbnail from there. Once the Thumbnails are created and downloaded, they can then be added to a new Timeline track in any video editing software.

      @@TeenaHughesOnline Thank you for your reply. In lieu of letting UA-cam decide what the chapter thumbnails to create, I would love to try what you suggest in your tutorial above, specifically what you talk about at Step 6. You are using Screenflow for Mac. I downloaded that program, but I don't understand how to apply the thumbnails to the timeline. I just see video and audio tracks in Screenflow. If I try to lay thumbnails on top of the video track, it just creates another video track. Am I missing something?

      @TeenaHughesOnline  Рік тому +2

      🔳 Hi there Anthony - in Screenflow for Mac, yes - I create a new Timeline ABOVE the video and audio tracks. Then I can create thumbnails in 2 different ways, and add the Chapter thumbnails to this new timeline:
      🔳 (Option 1) in Canva, where I download the image and upload to Screenflow, and drag the image onto the new Timeline in the location of the Chapter I'm working with.
      🔳 (Option 2) I can create Text in Screenflow and add a background colour if I like, directly on the new Timeline. By selecting the Text option, it will automatically create a new timeline above the other timelines.
      🔳 Please note - The new Timeline must be above the others in Screenflow, so that the image/text will be seen "in front of" the video. These can clearly be seen in Step 6 of this video.
      🔳 As you've never used Screenflow before, there are many great tutorials on UA-cam.

    Could the placing of unique images in videos at key times be considered "bait" for UA-cam to find? Even in this video (chapter pics at the bottom of the description) it does seem to be hit and miss. Chapters 1-5 it got right, yet for 9 and 10 it took different "bait" and used that. Still, this tactic seems quite clever. My biggest complaint with the automatic chapter system is by the time UA-cam does decide on which thumbnails to use, a huge chunk of the total views that video will ever receive has already passed by.

      @@TeenaHughesOnline Sorry, by "bait" I mean it is something the UA-cam chapter-thumbnail lookie-thing might see as unique, and thus makes it more likely to choose that image compared to a less interesting moment in that chapter. Kind of like a suggestion, putting a shiny bow on the gift we want it to choose. When I expand the description of this video here, at the bottom it shows (at least for me) for example "Step 08 - Upload to UA-cam" but the thumbnail for that chapter above the text is a large pink "09". Is that the same for you? I know if I click it, it will surely jump to the "08" in the video though. So much as changed in recent years and I'm trying to figure out the finer points.

      ✅ Hey there @The-Simpsons-Universe • if we don't write the Chapter timestamps in the Description, UA-cam will do it for us - that's correct :-)
      ✅ If UA-cam missed one of the Chapters or their timing is a bit wrong, that's easy to fix. Create your own Chapter Timestamps in the Description and after a day or two UA-cam will show YOUR timestamps instead of theirs :-)
      ✅ On the video where you wrote the timestamps, did you (1) create the Timestamp Images, (2) insert the Timestamp Images into the video during video editing, and (3) upload that video to UA-cam? If you did, it sometimes takes a few days for UA-cam to show those new thumbnails within the actual uploaded video.
      ✅ If you did not include the Timestamp Images before uploading to UA-cam, then UA-cam will continue to show the video without individual Thumbnail images. Unfortunately, once the video has already been published on UA-cam, the new Thumbnail Images cannot be uploaded.
      ✅ Please do let me know if you have any other questions.
      Have a great week ahead!
      Cheers

    Rather than use a video editor to add another track for the thumbnails, i s there a way to upload all my thumbnails (same count as my timeline of chapters) while in the UA-cam Studio and while in edit mode for a video and match them up to the timeline I placed in the Description. I have Auto-generate chapters set off on my channel before I upload the video. Thanks for your help. I did Subscribe to your channel.

      ▶︎ Hi there @UsaHickTown - thanks for dropping by - great question! The short answer is "No!" - you cannot upload multiple thumbnails for a video, unless they are different versions to be used as the MAIN thumbnail only.
      ▶︎ Let me see if I can explain it with a bit more information. If it still doesn't make sense, please do let me know :-)
      ▶︎ There are 2 types of Thumbnails:
      ◘ the uploaded Video Thumbnail (there is ONE of these visible for any YT video)
      ◘ the Chapter Thumbnails within the video.
      ▶︎ In UA-cam each video can have ONE active Thumbnail image.
      ▶︎ The Chapter software within UA-cam selects a TIME location in each video, and shows whatever is ALREADY in the video - at that time position - as the "Chapter Thumbnail".
      ▶︎ This means that the "Chapter Thumbnails" are chosen from the published video's content.
      ▶︎ The video's MAIN "Thumbnail" can be uploaded by the Channel owner, or UA-cam will select one from the video.
      📌 To answer you question:
      ▶︎ no - you cannot upload multiple thumbnail images to insert into a published video.
      ▶︎ but you CAN insert additional thumbnails when CREATING a video, to be used for the Chapter Thumbnail images after the video is uploaded.
      ▶︎ Hope this helps!
      Cheers

      @@TeenaHughesOnline when you say "but you CAN insert additional thumbnails when CREATING a video, to be used for the Chapter Thumbnail images after the video is uploaded." I most assume this is another track I must create on the video editing software, and post those Thumbnail images at the correct times for each image, is that what you are saying. How do I remove all the auto-generated chapter Chapter thumbnails - even though I had auto-generated chapter unchecked on the Channel before uploading?

      📌 @@UsaHickTown - yes, you've got it right :-)
      📌 You do need to add one additional Timeline track (during video creation/editing) where you can add the additional images (thumbnails) to appear within your video.
      📌 Once the video is "live" on UA-cam, it will be up to you to add the exact times (and Titles for the Chapters) within the Description.
      📌 It may take a day or two for the auto-generated Chapters to be replaced by your new Chapter details typed into the video Description.
      📌 Let me know how you get on, best of luck!

      @@TeenaHughesOnline You said (and I thought this would be the case) that The Chapter software within UA-cam selects a TIME location in each video, and shows whatever is ALREADY in the video - at that time position - as the "Chapter Thumbnail". However all of my chapter images are the same as the main thumbnail UA-cam used from my video. If I change the main thumbnail all the chapter images change to whatever the main thumbnail is.

      ▼ Hi there @Morana Jackson - yes, what I've described is what happens on my videos on UA-cam. Quick question - have you waited a day or two after changing your Thumbnail, to give UA-cam time to work out the timestamps for your video?
      ▼ I just clicked your UA-cam Channel name but got this message - "This channel doesn't have any content". Are you posting videos on a different Channel? If you'd like me to have a look, please let me know the Channel Name and which video you're trying to tweak :-)

    I only recently decided to start using chapter links on my little rescue possum's videos because more often than not they're several days put together. And since that can make them a little lengthy sometimes, I realize people may not watch them all in one sitting. What I didn't know is that it takes time for UA-cam to process a thumbnail for the chapters. After watching this I went back and looked at my previous posts, and there they were! I guess I could have just done that from the beginning... 🙀😹

      Hey there DaellusKnights - I'm so glad my video helped by letting you know it takes some time for the Chapter thumbnails to appear :-) Thanks so much for letting me know :-) I just visited LilBit - what a sweetie! Much to my surprise, he's not a Koala at all, but a South Louisiana possum in the USA (I'm guessing). Thanks so much for dropping by :-)
