Exactly how we make our thumbnails. But I actually size things down to be one single frame. Then I can copy the entire track stack for that frame and try changes. Rinse and repeat and then you have a bunch of variants to compare. You can then just left/right arrow to quickly flip between your variants and see what you like the most.
THANK YOU SO MUCH ( caps intended). I tried reading the 4000 page manual, but I didn't see what I was looking for to create RU-vid thumbnail step by step! Much appreciated! subbed since you ACTUALLY explain things in full detail.
You have one of (if not the best) tutorial video styles on this software than anyone I’ve came across on this platform. Clear, concise, and entertaining. They have helped me immensely! THANK YOU!
I have been using gimp for my Thumbnails. It never even occurred to me that I could do it in DR. Thank you, your videos always help me to improve my edits
Best advice.... Don't skip through videos like this if you have the time. You don't know what you don't know and everytime I watch through tips and tricks I think I already know I find new nuggets because everyone thinks about these things differently, so you always see a new way to do things. Very cool. Great video as always Alex! Thanks homie! 👊😁
As always, great stuff! I always learn something from your videos. Today I learned how to change the font on part of a title! Much faster than making multiple titles to get different sizes
I know im a year late but thanks for the information. I downloaded Davinci yesterday to edit my videos and was trying to find software to edit thumbnails, this makes it a whole lot easier. No need to download any new software! Great job buddy
I'm motivated to try new things after watching you lead the way. It's so exciting to see what can be done, and then being led in a way I can understand and follow with success. Thank you, thank you!
9:34 WHAT?! I've been doing that on fusion because I've been doing it with text+. Holy crap knowing that you can do this for just "text" is a huge time saver for me since I edit a lot of micro contents. Thank you! PS. I love watching your video even though I don't need it based on your title because I always learn something when your explaining things just like what happened now.
Thank you for showing us creative ways to create thumbnails in Davinci Resolve! I do create thumbnails using it but I lack the artistic creative touches you have shown us!
Wow - I literally had no idea you could do this. This will save, SO MUCH TIME 😁. Sir, you are a legend - thanks so much (as always) man. Great video 🙏.
Excellent, learnt a lot there. Altho you don't need to go through the whole freeze frame thing, when I've got the frame I want to use I just Ctrl B and put a cut there. Then line everything else up with that. And make sure your play head is on the cut when you grab a still.
Nice work Alex. All the people who switched from Premiere to DaVinci Resolve but still kept Photoshop for thumbnails are now canceling their CC subscriptions.
That's great. Thanks. I've been exporting a png from powerpoint to make my (rather dull) thumbnails but will definitely try this technique. I've also been making them all 1080p because I hadn't read the documentation. It seems that RU-vid just resizes them.
Amazingly simple explanation. I love your videos as I am trying to use resolve and am willing to admit I am way out of my comfort zone🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣. Prepping a you tube video usually has 2 screens....1 with Resolve on....you on the other. Thanks for making videos easy to watch and listen to.😊😊
You are the best! I didn't use these tips for thumbnails but I did learn a lot and I might start generating thumbnails using Davinci Resolve. I love your videos, they are really fun. You are a good teacher.
Wow, this is amazing! I've struggled with my thumbnails, but this is going to help out tremendously. I've learn (and implemented) so much from your videos - thanks for sharing!!
This has completely changed the game for me! I just exported my first dvr18 thumbnail and I'm stoked! I just found your channel and it's helped me so much so... thank you!
Hi Alex, when I try to Grab Still and Export I get this error message - any ideas? Failed to export still: Failed to retrieve still image from disk, export failed for still 4386add2-b8d2-461c-91df-af274d0c228a
Absolute game changer. Was wondering how to replace my ancient copy of PhotoShop Elements that Abode decided I couldn't use any more. Turns out, I don't have to, you can do all the Thumbnail edits in Resolve. It's an even better product than I thought before.
Wow... I was upset that I no longer have access to Photoshop, and couldn't readily make a decent thumbnail, but I never even thought about using Resolve to do it! Great tutorial!
Yes this thumbnail was made in Resolve! Oh and, all the RU-vid Documentation states Thumbnails should be 1,280 x 720 (720p) resolution. That's what I've always used and they've always looked great! support.google.com/youtube/answer/72431?hl=en-GB#zippy=%2Cimage-size-and-resolution Others have stated you can get away with 1080p if you really want it! If you do, simply set the timeline res as 1080p instead 🙂👍
Great video! I always use the website canva cause it's quick, free and easy to use. But I will give this method a chance! Btw, any chance you gonna make a subtitle guide? I'm having trouble creating them especially if I want to sub multiple characters and they are all supposed to have their own text color. e.g. one character has blue text, another one orange etc. I know you can do all of this stuff in aegis subs but this requires re-rendering and I would love to do it within davinci.
This video helped us step our thumbnails up for sure! Just made our first one using this tutorial as a starting point and the results are pretty great! Thanks Alex! Love your channel, you explain things in ways a 3rd grader would understand, which is great for me 😂 Cheers
Wow. I'm still learning Resolve but it never occurred to me to do this all in there. I've got Affinity Photo (and it works great) but why have two tools when you only need to master one?
I have to re-watch your video every new video I upload as I can't remember the steps. But you make it very easy to follow along, do-able and with good results. Cheers!
Awesome. Thanks so much. Funny, I knew about selecting the text in the Inspector to change the color, but, it didn't cross my mind to change the font as well. Learn something new every day. Talk about "hidden gems", I think MrAlexTech is a hidden gem.
Thanks for this. I never thought to do my thumbnails this way. Sure will make it a to easier! Sometimes you can't see right what's in front of your face!
