How do you create your thumbnails?

[Kraedax]

Personally I use Photoshop, and I'm pretty proud of what I can create on there. What do you guys use to create your thumbnails, or do you just use one of the default ones that YouTube pics out from your video?

Phonto and Picmonkey

I use photoshop, but I could probably do it in paint also

Paint.net or Adobe Photoshop. Mostly, I use Adobe Photoshop but I use Paint.net at some point because I'm too used to it XD

Crop with photoshop...

Sometimes I do actual photoshop work, but it takes so long for me, and I don't like doing it.

Just about the same! xD I tend to do around 30 minutes of thumbnail creation at the most. Usually ends up being like 15 mins. The more practice you get with it, the faster it becomes This is my latest one, took me a little while, but that was because i was trying something new. I would definitely recommend, gets more fun once you get the stuff down

Photoshop takes about 2 minutes for me.

Gimp of course, it's pretty similar to photoshop.

What I do, is take a picture of my own video (and if case I don´t do that I take a picture relationated with the video),and I edit it on paint.net

For the video's i have custom's for i use GIMP.

 

[Olivea Sea]

I tried mostly to find a nice/funny/weird shot in my video's and make a screenshot of it -> op in Photoshop and edit it with a flashy quick to see title.

I actually use "Adobe After Effects". Some program I use to make my videos!

I just find it much easier on that But I can sometimes use Photoshop if it is would be needed!

I used to use Sony Movie Studio not just to edit my videos, but to take snapshots of whatever part of a game I had recorded, because I don't know how to make a thumbnail any other way. But I've been getting tired of constantly taking snapshots like I did with Psychonauts. So with other Steam games, I'm using the same image over and over. I'll only take screenshots now if I'm playing a game from Gamejolt, and there is no image I can use.

 

[Varlais Alata]

I use picmonkey :3 It's really easy to use.

 

[7BitBrian]

Since I don't have photoshop I use Gimp and Paint.

 

[FreelanceSeven]

I literally just use GIMP. Use the head in my logo, and put it on a picture about the game. Sometimes I like to fit the theme of the art.
