Just something I noticed in the beginning the music and visuals picked up a bit too early and distracted me from what you were saying to the point where I actually didn’t hear it at all (use the visuals to reinforce your point not crowd it)

Oh man, this is such a brilliant video! Insane work from both you and James! Thanks for getting me involved 😎

My pleasure, glad you enjoyed it :)

I know this is supposed to inspire me, Ed, but James put so much effort into the thumbnail that I'm exhausted at the idea of doing this for my channel. I am an expert in my field. I share my knowledge simply to help others. But the idea of spending hours and hours in a desperate attempt to get others to help themselves... ... God. I don't know. Maybe after 2+ years of beating my head against the KZread wall and still not getting monetized just trying to help others means I should just give up. After all, Diablo 4 and Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom just came out. ... All my belly-aching aside, this was a positively fantastic video, gentlemen!

The Goonies vibe is strong with this one and I absolutely love it! 😀🎥👌

I’ve been working on improving my thumbnails a lot this year but I had no idea how deep the rabbit hole goes. Thanks for the awesome hacks!

I feel that. The psychology alone could be an entire college course. 😅

Excellent video!! Insights galore🔥 ... and Goonies music🎶🙌

You’re a genius. I just realised that this is why car channels such as @Carwow would have a different colour vehicle in the thumbnail than the one they’re actually reviewing. 🤯

You know.. after watching a lot of these videos, I just noticed that its pretty similar to how we do icons for games in the app stores. Most of the times, the characters faces and objects with a light background, and the colors popping up are the ones that work the best.. and out of the 4 thumbnails you presented to the "judges" .. yours was the one that clearly had brighter colors, and a certain object could stand out pretty easily, and when looking at Jimmy's thumbnails and other examples , you can see very similar things as well.. interesting! ty for the videos they are great!

Loved this video! Really refreshing to see all the fun parts mixed into the process too. Great job Ed and James

I wish I could describe how much these videos help and how good they are where it feels like I'm not watching a tutorial, I've been watching many of your videos and I'm serious and trying to grow my channel. I've learned so much and I just want to thank you, because one day, I'm going to be big on YT

Wow you really stepped up the production yet again in this video. I felt more entertained in this video than any of your other ones. Great work man

This is so true...I spend hours sometimes making various versions of my thumbnails to only then come up with totally different idea at the last minute and go with that. And amazingly, a great thumbnail on a "less than stellar" video will invariably outperform a mediocre thumbnail on a great video. So yeah, make better thumbnails! Easier said than done 😅

I wanted to say : Thank you for all your Videos and the Hard work you put in them for us, i am still new to this, but with your guidance, tips and help you make our confusing and frustrating times actually enjoyable ☺

Outstanding 🎉🎉 One of the best video that gave a bag full of satisfaction.. lv ya mate..❤

I watch all your videos. I don’t think I’d know half the things I do if not for you. Please never stop!

Hi Ed, I think that’s not only I’ve been learning a lot from your videos, but I learnt a lot more on how to improve audience retention by studying your style! Thanks so much! I started few vids ago to add graphics on my videos, but more on a Finzar style. Hi Finzar 👋. But thanks to you I found out that memes aren’t really perfect for my audience so I now decided to film my Brolls and use something more standard. Although since the introduction of graphics my videos went from a record of %30 retention to %60+ on my last video 😮. Can’t wait to beat my own new record 😊.

Changing the colours on the clothing in thumbnails seems so obvious now you've said but is actually so genius! Inspiring video as always 😊

It's true, KZread has basically become thumbnail wars😂

Excellent and informative video as always! Love your channel and how you make your videos. By the way the first thing that caught my eye in your video was your posters in the background :) those are awesome!! Have a great day and looking forward to the next one :)

Always loved your content, also noticed a huge quality jump on this video visually!

Another video that I'm saving to come back to again (and again) as I get further into my journey. Thanks for this video!

I absolutely love your storytelling. Thanks for all of the great tips!

Fantastic video - great job Ed!

I absolutely love your videos mate. I'm learning so much. Thanks a lot! 🙌

Learned so much in such a short amount of time. This is amazing, thank you Ed!

This was really cool Ed, Cheers for sharing it! Stay safe, have fun! 👍😁

Awesome video! I love the music, makes it feel very extra fun and engaging.

That was quite the journey! Loved every minute of it. Nice work guys 🚀

This was actually brilliant. I've never watched a tutorial or educational video that had me this engaged. I aspire to make content at this level. Thanks for sharing!

Just love this combo, Ed and James duo... Question, does the idea for video come first then look at Thumbnail inspiration on other channels, or look at thumbnails to provide fuel for a video idea?

This has to be the best video on thumbnail design out there!

Masterful as always. No one comes close when it comes to educational content presented in an entertaining way 👌

Fantastic video! Surprised no one noticed the Chromebook accessory with Windows logo though 😂

Bloody brilliant, Ed. Thank you!!

Dude, your videos are so fun and so informative. Keep. It. Uppppppp

Watched one of your videos. Enough to make me subscribe, I find it not easy to try get monetized but so happy that other creators give so much great advice

We loved the pace of this video! What a production! We learned a shedload too including how to quickly draw a rocket. I'm curious about this thumbnail university now. We need our thumbnail person to enroll. 🙂 - Josh & Kalie

Fantastic videos buddy. You couldn’t have picked a better topic! You make it easy to understand and get value from. Thanks!🇨🇦🇨🇦👍🏻👍🏻

That is such a crisp thumbnail. I would’ve definitely been on the fence about which one was made by Marques. Thumbnails are my weakest point and this is a reminder of how much work could go into making one. Not sure if I’m happy or sad about that but I am sure that I’m still learning and I’ve got a long way to go. Edit: oh and glad James didn’t have to get his ear pierced and lose his job

woah! New camera? and Editing style?! awesome video

great video Ed!

Thank you for the early video nightmare fuel! XD Fantastic video!

The B-roll at 3:50 had me laughing out loud - such a hilarious bit just in the background of the voice over. Subscribed for that incredible attention to detail alone. Thanks for all the valuable tips!

Amazying video dude, this just shows how important thumbnails are to a video!

This was an amazing video! I have made a load of notes and now hopefully my Thumbnails will be a lot better

That purple one was actually a really crisp thumbnail. The composition and colour was superb.

This was SUCH A BANGER! So interesting. I cant wait to test this out on my videos!

Insane video. Just starting out and am going to keep this in mind. Appreciate it

Wow, that video was a blast! Packed with awesome tips for both seasoned and new KZreadrs especially, Hack#2 on 'Intrigue' which I think totally connects with the first one, 'Creating emotions.' because you need intrigue to develop emotions and vice versa. ((P.S: James did the thumbnails like one of his French girls 🤣))

i normally don’t comment. your videos are so enjoyable that i need to pause before i get up and grab a snack bc i don’t wanna miss your epic visuals

Shooting in 60fps for a talking head video is a unique and genius idea. 🔥

i loved this video!! it was so entertaining and also super informative, I didn't realize it was 15 min long!

Brilliant! Both in knowledge and the storytelling. 👏

Great video. Thank you. I started my channel in August and used Fiverr freelancers to make thumbnails and after a while I used the knowledge I built up as well as studying the designs of the freelancers' designs and started designing my own thumbnails. I'm not convinced my thumbnails create intrigue though but one thing I am very satisfied with is that it totally delivers on its promise. It means I have a pretty good retention rate because people get what they expect when they click. That's what has to be guarded against so I'm glad you touched on it. No point having a great CTR but dreadful retention.

Love this and love the background music - GOONIES!

Your thumbnail for this video actually tticked me into clicking on it.

Really great video, thank you!

Great one Ed❤

Bro, the more I go through this video, I see that you went on a whole Goonies kick with some of the music. ❤❤

Good stuff! Lots to learn...

Love the 1980’s goodie references, I had to watch your vid twice just for that 😂👍

Thanks for the video!!

That MKBHD intro was terrifying

Holy crap. Your videos are truly amazing.

Loved this one!

I love your videos and always learn new but I run a gaming channel so sometimes the tips in the videos don't feel quite as relevant because filming people is different than recording in-game footage. Some of the concepts still apply but it would be really cool to see your take on editing gameplay videos and thumbnails even if it's not something you're as experienced with. You likely know some big gaming channels that you could possibly collaborate with. Thanks for the amazing content! Big fan!

Great great great introduction!!!

ed film booth is the goat of yt help

I understand the underlying reason to include a story in the video (the Marques control story), but man in this kind of videos I just want the juicy info well compacted without any additional stuff.

btw the production quality of this video is soooo good too :o
