Thumbnail

The Thumbnail tab allows you to add a short, engaging intro at the very start of your video — perfect for grabbing attention on platforms like TikTok or YouTube Shorts.

What It Does

  • Adds a 0–2 second intro scene before your main video starts

  • You can choose between different Thumbnail Types (like TikTok-style overlays)

  • Supports custom Thumbnail Text

  • Optionally includes voiceover narration for the thumbnail text

  • Can be enabled or disabled at any time

How to Use

  1. Enable/Disable the thumbnail with the toggle

  2. Select your Thumbnail Type

  3. Enter your headline-style text (this will appear visually and, if enabled, be voiced)

  4. Turn on Voiceover if you want the text read aloud

  5. Click Update Thumbnail to apply changes
    (Note: This will regenerate the thumbnail visuals and voiceover)

Best Practices

  • Use hook-style text to instantly capture attention
    Example: “Crocodiles vs Soldiers: WW2’s Wildest Battle!”

  • Keep it short and punchy (under 10 words is ideal)

  • Use emojis to boost visual appeal on mobile
