Hi guys,

I have a question maybe it sounds a bit dump for somes of you. I'm wondering how these channels make their own thumbnail.

Usually, I make mine one by one. Is any other alternative solution to creat a bunch a thumbnail at once ?

Thank you in advance,

Yacine
 
Depends on the software You're using. I'm using Photoshop and I always save my work so I can easily create similar thumbnails later.
 
Yes, they are totally different. I used them only like an exemples.

Me too, I use photoshop but I was wondering if any other solution faster than that ;D

Photoshop all the way bro! You can easily make a few template images and add overlays on a video by video bases.
 
Do you mean have a template with your thumbnail overlay and be able to add the thumbnail picture without having to create the overlay every time? That's pretty simple to do in Photoshop.
 
With thumbnails that run a similar theme across several videos, I either create a transparent 1280x720 .png image to lay over the desired image in Photoshop, or just save a .psd file with its layers all set up and ready for a new image placement. With that process it can take around 30 seconds to make a thumbnail, open it up, drag an image in the layer below the logo, save. :D
 
Just make a custom overlay/layer with an alpha channel and no background with your logo or channel name. Then you can just upload any picture in Photoshop and slap your overlay on it
