Best Practices
Tips for Making Great Thumbnails
Be specific with prompts. "Red Ferrari on coastal highway at golden hour" beats "nice car". Include subjects, settings, lighting, colors, and mood for accurate results.
Experiment with style keywords. Add "cinematic", "dramatic", "vibrant", "professional", or "artistic" to control visual style. AI responds to aesthetic descriptors.
Generate multiple versions. Same prompt creates different variations. Try 5-10 generations and select the best result for your thumbnail.
Combine AI with manual elements. Use AI for backgrounds, then add real faces, text, or graphics manually. Hybrid approach gives best results.
Start broad then refine. First generation shows general direction. Adjust prompts based on results. Iterative refinement improves output quality.
Save successful prompts. Track which descriptions create high-performing thumbnails. Build a library of effective prompts for future videos.
Common Mistakes
What to Avoid
Generic vague prompts that produce bland results. "Make thumbnail" gives nothing useful. Describe specific scenes, subjects, and atmosphere you want.
Expecting AI to generate perfect text. AI struggles with readable text in images. Always add title text manually using editing tools after generation.
Using one generation and settling. First result is rarely the best. Generate variations and pick top result. AI randomness requires multiple attempts.
Not editing AI output. Raw AI images need brightness, contrast, and text additions. Treat AI generation as starting point not final product.
Copying exact prompts from others. Prompts that work for one topic fail for another. Learn prompting principles and adapt to your specific needs.
Forgetting to match thumbnail to video content. AI creates impressive images easily. Ensure generated thumbnails accurately represent actual video content.
