Best Practices
Tips for Making Great Thumbnails
Write detailed prompts with specific elements. "Person discovering treasure chest on beach at sunset" works better than just "treasure". Specificity gets better AI results.
Request bright vibrant colors in your prompts. Thumbnails need attention-grabbing colors. Add "bright", "vivid", "colorful" to prompts for eye-catching results.
Generate 3-5 variations before committing. AI creates different results each time. Generate multiple versions and pick the strongest composition.
Keep compositions simple for mobile viewing. Complex AI images with many elements become muddy on phones. Request "simple bold composition" in prompts.
Use AI for backgrounds, add real faces. AI-generated faces lack authentic emotion. Generate backgrounds with AI, overlay real creator photos for personality.
Save successful prompts for future use. Track which descriptions created thumbnails that performed well. Build a library of effective AI prompts.
Common Mistakes
What to Avoid
Vague prompts that confuse AI. "Cool thumbnail" gives poor results. Specific detailed descriptions create better AI outputs worth using.
Not generating multiple options. First AI result might not be best. Generate 3-5 variations and compare before adding text and exporting.
Expecting AI to handle text. AI-generated text is usually unreadable or misspelled. Always add video title manually after generation.
Overly complex scenes that blur on mobile. AI might create detailed images that lose clarity at small sizes. Test mobile preview before finalizing.
Using AI for every thumbnail unnecessarily. Real photos work better for personality content. Save AI for backgrounds and concepts you cannot photograph.
Not tracking which AI styles work. Generate different styles, monitor performance, learn what your audience clicks. Refine prompts based on data.
