I make videos about future tech that doesn't exist yet. Stock photos are useless. Now I just describe what I want and AI creates it. Kinda magical honestly.

Best Practices
Tips for Making Great Thumbnails
Be specific. "Man looking shocked at computer screen, blue neon lighting, dark room" beats "surprised person".
Add mood words. "Dramatic", "bright", "cinematic" help AI understand what you want.
Mention composition. Say "close-up face" or "person on left side" to control layout.
Generate 3-5 versions. AI gives different results each time. Pick the best one, not the first.
Mix AI with real photos. Generate backgrounds, then add your actual face for authenticity.
Common Mistakes
What to Avoid
Vague prompts like "cool thumbnail". AI needs specifics. Tell it exactly what you want.
Expecting readable text in the image. AI struggles with letters. Add title text manually after.
Accepting the first result. First generation is rarely best. Try a few variations.
Forgetting to specify colors. Without guidance, AI picks randomly. Include your brand colors.
Misleading thumbnails. AI can make anything, but thumbnails still need to match your video.
