I always suggest having consistent thumbnails. What I mean by that is not to very them to much but have your own style so people know the video is from you. If you have a logo you can go ahead and try implementing that into your design. Here is an example of one of my thumbnails that I have made

Make sure you combine your video theme with your thumbnail (Ex. If you have a call of duty video, then you wouldve used either grunge or kind of a black theme)
Also make sure The Text is BIG, Because when your video is in the search you want them to be able to read the title of the video!

I think that's a great thumbnail! I actually like it a lot! What program do you use?

1) Goto this website "https://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/cs2-product-downloads.html" (It is the Official Adobe website)

2)It will ask you to sign up, you can sign up for free

3)Click I Agree, and Select English

4)Find Photoshop CS2

5)Click Windows(Or mac if you have mac)

6)Install and use Product key beside Download link in website

7)HAVE FUN

This is not illigal if you had CS2 In the first place, of course not many people follow that rule since the reason its free is the fact that the registration serer was shut down and theres no way to determine who bought CS2 ;)

I think it can depend from the game you play :D
Persomaly, sometimes i use screenshots and edit them a little, sometimes i add my face xD
And sometimes, i just use the main menu screenshot with the name of the game
or... i can go totally individual on some thumbnail to make them "in spirit" of the game

So I tried installing it but in the end it just said installation failed. Do you know why?
