Creating Thumbnails for YouTube Using Photoshop CC

Do you need to create thumbnails for your YouTube channel to improve your click-through rate? Making good, clear thumbnails is the most important aspect of getting people to click on your video and watch it. People use the text/title/keywords to do searching. But, the thumbnail is the key to getting people to click and watch.

This class shows you how to use Photoshop CC to create modern YouTube (and Rumble, Bitchute, etc.) thumbnails quickly and effectively. If you make a lot of videos, you will need a lot of thumbnails. The techniques I teach in this course will make you faster and your thumbnails better.

If you create YouTube videos or have a client that needs your help, this course is for you! Most other Photoshop courses teach lots of extra material that won’t help you. This course is specifically targeted at people who want to create a thumbnail for your video service using Photoshop CC without all the headaches of unrelated skills.

From Aaron: “Hi there, my name is Aaron and I’ve professionally taught Photoshop to hundreds of students. I’ve created thousands of video thumbnails in Photoshop CC. The styles have changed over time and the top channels follow a very simple template. Once you understand it, you’ll find these techniques will help improve your viewership. You’ll learn everything you need to know to be successful. This course is filled with instruction that gets you to success fast.”

This course will allow you to create your own thumbnails and upload them to YouTube, Rumble, etc. fast. Many “pro” thumbnail makers charge a huge amount of money for their thumbnails. If you fail to provide them with the pictures they need, your thumbnails simply won’t convert. That’s why I made this course. It’s for people who want to learn how to make great thumbnails quickly from Photoshop, whether it’s for your channel or someone else’s.

This course helps you avoid these mistakes:

• Unreadable thumbnails
