The cutouts actually look clean. Hair, edges, everything. Used to spend 45 minutes in Photoshop doing this. Now it's like 2 minutes.

I film in my apartment which looks terrible. Now I just cut myself out and put any background I want. My thumbnails finally look professional.

That floating person style everyone uses? Couldn't figure out how to do it. Turns out you just describe what background you want and it works.

Best Practices
Tips for Making Great Thumbnails
Use photos with good subject separation. Clear lighting and contrast make AI work better.
Cut out at highest resolution available. Quality loss happens when upscaling cutouts.
Add subtle shadows under cutouts. Floating subjects look more natural with shadows.
High contrast backgrounds make cutouts pop. Red, yellow, bright blue work great.
Keep backgrounds simple. Busy backgrounds compete with your cutout subject.
Common Mistakes
What to Avoid
Using low-res source photos. Cutouts look pixelated when placed on clean backgrounds.
Forgetting shadows. Cutouts without shadows look pasted on, not professional.
Choosing backgrounds too similar to subject. Dark clothes on dark background loses definition.
Cutting out too many things. One main subject per thumbnail. Focus beats clutter.
Ignoring color harmony. Subject and background colors should work together.
