1
00:00:00,300 --> 00:00:05,190
All right, so now we're going to go over one of the main barriers to entry really fast here.

2
00:00:05,220 --> 00:00:08,790
So I'm actually going to hit ad title just to kind of show you guys.

3
00:00:08,820 --> 00:00:14,390
So one of the ones that I'm uploading right now is a hashmark seller, tips.

4
00:00:14,820 --> 00:00:15,040
Right.

5
00:00:15,150 --> 00:00:18,750
So we're gonna go category educational and continue.

6
00:00:18,870 --> 00:00:23,070
Now, the reason I want to do this is because I want to show you and talk about thumbnails specifically

7
00:00:23,070 --> 00:00:23,430
here.

8
00:00:23,700 --> 00:00:27,870
And I made sure to write down some points, some key points that I want to make sure they hit home,

9
00:00:28,110 --> 00:00:30,550
because this is one of the things that trips people up.

10
00:00:30,570 --> 00:00:30,790
Right.

11
00:00:30,810 --> 00:00:35,270
So there's two there's a lot of things that trip people up when uploading content times on video direct.

12
00:00:35,280 --> 00:00:38,250
So it's not like easy like another platform, for example.

13
00:00:38,250 --> 00:00:40,800
It's not easy, like uploading to a YouTube, for example.

14
00:00:40,800 --> 00:00:44,280
It's not easy to upload, like to a Udemy or to a Skillshare, for example.

15
00:00:44,280 --> 00:00:44,520
Right.

16
00:00:44,790 --> 00:00:46,980
There are, you know, barriers to entry.

17
00:00:47,160 --> 00:00:48,360
And that's a good thing.

18
00:00:48,480 --> 00:00:51,430
And I actually have a lecture dedicated to talking about why that's a good thing.

19
00:00:51,450 --> 00:00:52,770
So there's not as much competition.

20
00:00:53,040 --> 00:00:56,430
But so one of the things that trips people up mainly is thumbnails.

21
00:00:56,460 --> 00:00:56,640
Right.

22
00:00:56,670 --> 00:01:00,510
So when you're going through and you put you're putting like a thumbnail on a YouTube video, you can

23
00:01:00,510 --> 00:01:02,130
pretty much put whatever you want.

24
00:01:02,160 --> 00:01:02,430
Right.

25
00:01:02,670 --> 00:01:06,940
Same thing with a unity course, although with you to me, some of the thumbnails that you're gonna

26
00:01:06,990 --> 00:01:09,010
upload, you know, you can't have words in it.

27
00:01:09,030 --> 00:01:10,230
You can't have specific things.

28
00:01:10,260 --> 00:01:12,050
But for the most part, it's pretty easy.

29
00:01:12,060 --> 00:01:14,650
You just need a picture with Amazon video direct.

30
00:01:14,650 --> 00:01:19,590
There's a number of different things that you have to make sure that you hit home with your thumbnails

31
00:01:19,740 --> 00:01:24,960
so that they comply with the policy so that you can get your video to go green and be uploaded.

32
00:01:24,990 --> 00:01:25,210
Right.

33
00:01:25,230 --> 00:01:29,730
So first and foremost, and I'm gonna go over these here in a second four weeks, I made sure to write

34
00:01:29,730 --> 00:01:30,570
these points down.

35
00:01:30,840 --> 00:01:36,150
But one of the best places and one of the best forms of content that you can get this information from

36
00:01:36,450 --> 00:01:38,070
is strictly from the source.

37
00:01:38,070 --> 00:01:43,680
So I'm going to make sure to link the prime video Direct Graphic Assets Guide, which graphic assets

38
00:01:43,680 --> 00:01:46,230
is just their fancy term for thumbnails on your videos.

39
00:01:46,530 --> 00:01:51,270
So we're gonna link their thumbnail slash GLAC Graphic Assets Guide directly above this.

40
00:01:51,330 --> 00:01:54,510
If you guys want to check it out, it will really, really help you out.

41
00:01:54,600 --> 00:01:55,830
We just run through really fast.

42
00:01:55,860 --> 00:01:57,420
Obviously, you can see certain things.

43
00:01:58,620 --> 00:02:00,090
So you're gonna see like, OK.

44
00:02:00,180 --> 00:02:02,460
This is this is their general idea for this.

45
00:02:02,490 --> 00:02:04,030
This is what a good one looks like.

46
00:02:04,050 --> 00:02:07,140
This is what the mobile version of that good one looks like.

47
00:02:07,450 --> 00:02:11,490
And we actually kind of bring it a little bit more visible for you guys.

48
00:02:12,330 --> 00:02:15,410
So this is like what a good example of a thumbnail looks like.

49
00:02:15,420 --> 00:02:15,620
Right?

50
00:02:15,660 --> 00:02:19,440
This is what a good example of the the mobile version thumbnail looks like.

51
00:02:19,680 --> 00:02:22,710
And it also tells you different dos and don'ts, which are really, really helpful.

52
00:02:22,770 --> 00:02:25,110
As you go through the trial and error of the process.

53
00:02:25,140 --> 00:02:27,990
But hopefully this lecture will cover all that for you here.

54
00:02:28,340 --> 00:02:29,040
So you understand it.

55
00:02:29,070 --> 00:02:31,500
So to give me an example of something that you can't do.

56
00:02:31,510 --> 00:02:31,820
Right.

57
00:02:31,860 --> 00:02:34,410
So when you're uploading a thumbnail, you can't have like this one.

58
00:02:34,620 --> 00:02:37,500
And then change it to a different picture entirely.

59
00:02:37,740 --> 00:02:38,940
That's not going to work.

60
00:02:39,180 --> 00:02:39,420
OK.

61
00:02:39,480 --> 00:02:40,490
So same thing with this.

62
00:02:40,500 --> 00:02:43,530
You can't have, you know, borders around the outside.

63
00:02:43,560 --> 00:02:44,370
That's not going to work.

64
00:02:44,410 --> 00:02:45,120
And I'm going to prove it.

65
00:02:45,330 --> 00:02:47,760
You can have different pictures in your your thumbnail.

66
00:02:47,790 --> 00:02:48,630
That's not going to work.

67
00:02:48,950 --> 00:02:51,660
Can have another missing point right there with a border.

68
00:02:51,660 --> 00:02:53,460
You can have a missing point there with the border.

69
00:02:53,730 --> 00:02:55,840
What has to be is an entire picture.

70
00:02:56,610 --> 00:03:02,630
And then you have to have the car, the title of the actual episode or the title of the app.

71
00:03:03,120 --> 00:03:08,670
Sorry, the title of the actual either TV show or the title of the actual standalone piece of content

72
00:03:09,030 --> 00:03:10,620
in that actual picture.

73
00:03:10,620 --> 00:03:11,910
And it has to be legible.

74
00:03:11,940 --> 00:03:13,260
So there's a number of different things.

75
00:03:13,590 --> 00:03:17,550
Like I said, that I'm going to go over here, but this guy will really walk you through the dos and

76
00:03:17,550 --> 00:03:19,470
don'ts and make it really, really simple.

77
00:03:19,470 --> 00:03:22,290
Like I said, linked above, if you need to check it out.

78
00:03:22,380 --> 00:03:26,340
So now if we move on, there's a few things that I want to touch on here.

79
00:03:26,580 --> 00:03:31,470
So we're going to touch on repurposing thumbnails and creating specific images for thumbnails.

80
00:03:32,190 --> 00:03:34,690
So the main thing to keep in mind.

81
00:03:34,740 --> 00:03:38,190
So we're gonna go over this is don't resize or stretch any images.

82
00:03:38,220 --> 00:03:40,860
I used to try to do that and they would never approve it.

83
00:03:40,890 --> 00:03:42,240
And it was super, super difficult.

84
00:03:42,270 --> 00:03:43,110
So what do I mean by that?

85
00:03:43,140 --> 00:03:44,620
What is stretch and resize mean?

86
00:03:44,640 --> 00:03:44,880
Right.

87
00:03:45,210 --> 00:03:50,400
So stretch and resize means like if you had a picture that was like this posher picture, for example,

88
00:03:50,400 --> 00:03:50,820
right here.

89
00:03:50,880 --> 00:03:51,900
So we go into here.

90
00:03:51,900 --> 00:03:52,200
Right.

91
00:03:52,620 --> 00:03:58,350
And then I need to, you know, basically stretch it and make it this like this big or a thumbnail like.

92
00:03:58,350 --> 00:03:59,690
So it's like a wide, normal thumbnail.

93
00:04:00,060 --> 00:04:04,470
What I would do is I upload this picture into this border right here and then stretch it out to fit.

94
00:04:04,800 --> 00:04:05,830
They don't accept that.

95
00:04:05,850 --> 00:04:08,670
So you need to make sure that you don't stretch any your images out.

96
00:04:08,880 --> 00:04:10,370
You don't resize them instead.

97
00:04:10,490 --> 00:04:12,270
You need to create images.

98
00:04:12,270 --> 00:04:13,770
We're gonna go over all that here in a second.

99
00:04:13,800 --> 00:04:16,470
Make it very, very easy for you to show you how to do it.

100
00:04:16,830 --> 00:04:23,430
You need to create images specifically for the dimensions in question that they tell you to create.

101
00:04:23,460 --> 00:04:24,870
So we're gonna go over that here in a second.

102
00:04:25,320 --> 00:04:28,790
So we've got 19, 20 by 10, 80 and a 19, 20 by 10, 80.

103
00:04:29,010 --> 00:04:32,820
And then it's a twelve hundred by sixteen hundred image.

104
00:04:33,030 --> 00:04:36,090
I have two examples of both of those right here for you.

105
00:04:36,240 --> 00:04:39,050
And I use Kamba to create a design that's really, really simple.

106
00:04:39,060 --> 00:04:43,980
So if I want to create a design, I go create a design custom dimensions and then I literally type that

107
00:04:43,980 --> 00:04:44,400
within.

108
00:04:44,430 --> 00:04:47,100
So that was was it 16 was the last one.

109
00:04:47,850 --> 00:04:48,570
Sixteen.

110
00:04:48,720 --> 00:04:49,950
Twelve hundred by sixteen hundred.

111
00:04:50,100 --> 00:04:55,410
So I'm typing twelve hundred by sixteen hundred pixels and create the design and boom it's going to

112
00:04:55,410 --> 00:04:58,110
give me a blank document with that actual dimensions.

113
00:04:58,140 --> 00:04:59,710
And then I can upload a picture.

114
00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:04,130
And drag a picture in there to fit those dimensions, right?

115
00:05:04,200 --> 00:05:04,800
So boom!

116
00:05:05,020 --> 00:05:07,290
Bears an example of a background that I can put in.

117
00:05:07,290 --> 00:05:11,520
Now, I just need to put the title in this actual image and then, you know, boom, it's done.

118
00:05:11,550 --> 00:05:12,720
So we're gonna go over how to do that.

119
00:05:12,760 --> 00:05:16,600
The second I was covering things, key things to keep in mind when you're actually doing this.

120
00:05:16,650 --> 00:05:16,840
OK.

121
00:05:17,250 --> 00:05:19,920
So the next thing is don't add anything or take anything away.

122
00:05:20,220 --> 00:05:25,020
So which one of the things I just covered, you know, in that actual example from Amazon video directed

123
00:05:25,020 --> 00:05:30,450
specifically for their graphic assets so that that pdaf one of the things you can't do is you can't

124
00:05:30,450 --> 00:05:35,430
switch images or, you know, leave anything out or add anything from image to image.

125
00:05:35,430 --> 00:05:35,640
Right.

126
00:05:35,670 --> 00:05:41,100
So if this is an example so far and pretend there's there's, you know, text here, I can't switch

127
00:05:41,130 --> 00:05:41,820
anything over.

128
00:05:41,850 --> 00:05:43,350
So pretend the same text is here.

129
00:05:43,380 --> 00:05:44,640
I can't switch anything over.

130
00:05:44,640 --> 00:05:50,430
So if I add one thing in the normal thumbnail, it has to look very, very similar, but just a different

131
00:05:50,430 --> 00:05:54,580
dimension in the other mobile version of the thumbnail.

132
00:05:54,630 --> 00:05:56,300
So it's OK if you don't understand what that means yet.

133
00:05:56,340 --> 00:05:58,200
We're going to go over an example of how to do this.

134
00:05:58,440 --> 00:06:02,760
But the key thing to keep in mind is you can aditi anything from normal thumbnail to mobile thumbnail

135
00:06:03,000 --> 00:06:05,850
and you can't really take anything away from thumbnail the thumbnail.

136
00:06:05,900 --> 00:06:11,760
Either they have to be the same overall idea of thumbnail now, just in a different dimension that's

137
00:06:11,760 --> 00:06:12,470
still legible.

138
00:06:12,570 --> 00:06:17,190
OK, so the next thing that is, it has to be the same picture we just cover.

139
00:06:17,190 --> 00:06:18,870
That has to be the same text.

140
00:06:18,900 --> 00:06:20,700
So you can't you can't switch tacks.

141
00:06:20,700 --> 00:06:26,350
It can't be like hashmark seller tips on one of them and then pass Mark Set or the best pockmark seller

142
00:06:26,400 --> 00:06:26,940
tips on the other.

143
00:06:27,000 --> 00:06:32,760
No, has to be the same exact text, the same exact picture from one foul mouth to thumbnail.

144
00:06:32,760 --> 00:06:35,790
So mobile to normal and normal to mobile, vice versa.

145
00:06:35,820 --> 00:06:36,060
Right.

146
00:06:36,540 --> 00:06:42,510
So it also has to be readable words and not within the image of the picture for the most part.

147
00:06:42,840 --> 00:06:44,910
The best tip that I would that I could give you.

148
00:06:44,940 --> 00:06:46,680
So there's two main best tips I could give you.

149
00:06:46,680 --> 00:06:46,920
Right.

150
00:06:46,980 --> 00:06:49,090
We're going over examples of this here in a second.

151
00:06:49,090 --> 00:06:50,250
I know I said that a million times.

152
00:06:50,640 --> 00:06:52,530
So would be to pick shorter titles.

153
00:06:52,560 --> 00:06:58,230
That's why I didn't pick a long keyword out, tie dyed and pick out the best pockmark seller tips to

154
00:06:58,230 --> 00:07:01,590
make more sales on the platform and sell more and make more money.

155
00:07:01,590 --> 00:07:01,830
Right.

156
00:07:02,070 --> 00:07:05,400
Because it would be very, very hard to put that in here big enough to read.

157
00:07:05,700 --> 00:07:07,980
Legible enough with a legitimate picture.

158
00:07:08,000 --> 00:07:08,250
Right.

159
00:07:08,280 --> 00:07:09,240
Same thing with here.

160
00:07:09,450 --> 00:07:13,980
Instead, I picked a short, concise title where I can fit words into the picture very easy that are

161
00:07:13,980 --> 00:07:14,760
still legible.

162
00:07:14,980 --> 00:07:16,280
Poche Mark Seller Tips.

163
00:07:16,310 --> 00:07:17,250
It's only three words.

164
00:07:17,370 --> 00:07:21,690
You can go four or five through the 12, but it's going to be more challenging the more at the more

165
00:07:21,690 --> 00:07:23,790
words you add into your potential thumbnail.

166
00:07:23,830 --> 00:07:24,100
OK.

167
00:07:24,330 --> 00:07:25,950
So that's one of the best tips that I can give you.

168
00:07:26,160 --> 00:07:27,540
Pick shorter titles.

169
00:07:27,750 --> 00:07:31,950
It's easier to put them in the picture and in a thumbnail and will be less of a hassle on your part.

170
00:07:32,640 --> 00:07:35,910
So the next one would be also pick pictures with some space.

171
00:07:36,180 --> 00:07:39,930
So what I'm going through and I'm picking Google Images, I'm going to like, you know, sites like

172
00:07:39,930 --> 00:07:42,450
Pixels or Pixel Bay to get stock photos.

173
00:07:42,450 --> 00:07:42,690
Right.

174
00:07:43,080 --> 00:07:45,750
I'm looking for images with space in them.

175
00:07:45,780 --> 00:07:47,280
So what I mean by space in them.

176
00:07:47,300 --> 00:07:49,570
Well, this is space right here all the way up here.

177
00:07:49,570 --> 00:07:49,730
Right.

178
00:07:49,770 --> 00:07:52,500
I can throw a some some text up there.

179
00:07:52,710 --> 00:07:54,260
This is space all down here.

180
00:07:54,270 --> 00:07:55,920
I can throw some text right here from one through.

181
00:07:55,950 --> 00:07:57,020
This is space right here.

182
00:07:57,030 --> 00:07:58,530
I can person text right here from Montu.

183
00:07:58,860 --> 00:07:59,970
This is the main image.

184
00:07:59,970 --> 00:08:03,960
So you really don't want to put pick like text over this main image if you can avoid it.

185
00:08:04,260 --> 00:08:06,840
At least that's what Amazon video Direct wants to do.

186
00:08:07,050 --> 00:08:11,850
So when you're looking for it for images, obviously, like I said, remember to pick short titles and

187
00:08:11,850 --> 00:08:15,570
then look for images with space in them where you can throw text ahead of time.

188
00:08:15,600 --> 00:08:17,820
It's going to make your job a lot easier to do so.

189
00:08:18,150 --> 00:08:18,360
Right.

190
00:08:18,420 --> 00:08:23,700
And then finally, you also have to save your picture as the same name and title and exactly what it

191
00:08:23,700 --> 00:08:24,420
says in the thumbnail.

192
00:08:24,480 --> 00:08:30,290
So, for example, if my right here, what I actually did is pockmark Mark Sellar tips, here's the

193
00:08:30,290 --> 00:08:32,280
one that actually legitimately just edited.

194
00:08:32,520 --> 00:08:33,690
That's the title of the video.

195
00:08:33,870 --> 00:08:36,720
It's saved as Poche Mark Sellar tips right for the metadata.

196
00:08:36,960 --> 00:08:40,800
Well, I had to save my thumbnail thumbnails as Poche Mark Sellar tips as well.

197
00:08:41,040 --> 00:08:45,390
And I also have to, you know, make sure that the pictures are saved, that so that when I upload it

198
00:08:45,390 --> 00:08:48,300
for the metadata here, it's all the same.

199
00:08:48,600 --> 00:08:52,200
That's just something that's a stipulation that they want, but they all have to be saved as the same

200
00:08:52,200 --> 00:08:52,530
thing.

201
00:08:52,770 --> 00:08:54,030
And the text can't change.

202
00:08:54,240 --> 00:08:55,880
So enough talking.

203
00:08:55,890 --> 00:08:58,740
Let me run through examples of how to actually do this now.

204
00:08:58,740 --> 00:09:01,430
How do we actually create specific thumbnails for this?

205
00:09:01,440 --> 00:09:03,990
So let's pretend that I actually uploaded this video here.

206
00:09:04,050 --> 00:09:07,620
So I'm gonna run through all this other stuff, the cast and the crew, the video assets, the elbow

207
00:09:07,620 --> 00:09:08,880
to here later on.

208
00:09:09,180 --> 00:09:12,210
But for specific examples, we're just creating a thumbnail right here.

209
00:09:12,210 --> 00:09:14,940
So this is this bottom section right here for the graphic assets.

210
00:09:15,180 --> 00:09:16,670
This is what trips up a lot of people.

211
00:09:16,680 --> 00:09:19,650
So I need to 1920 by 10 A.D..

212
00:09:19,650 --> 00:09:19,860
Right.

213
00:09:19,890 --> 00:09:22,360
Because we have the key car is 1920 by 10, 80.

214
00:09:22,650 --> 00:09:25,200
And we also have the background image, 19, 20 by 10, 80.

215
00:09:25,680 --> 00:09:27,060
You don't need to upload a background image.

216
00:09:27,150 --> 00:09:27,710
I always do.

217
00:09:27,710 --> 00:09:28,670
Which just a personal profit.

218
00:09:28,680 --> 00:09:29,640
Personal preference.

219
00:09:29,970 --> 00:09:34,500
And then for the mobile version right here and in search results, you need a twelve hundred by sixteen

220
00:09:34,500 --> 00:09:35,160
hundred version.

221
00:09:35,220 --> 00:09:37,960
So if you're new to this, you can go to Canada, create a design.

222
00:09:37,980 --> 00:09:38,950
This is a free Web site.

223
00:09:39,030 --> 00:09:43,170
Anyone can use and literally just put the dimensions in here, create the designs and they'll show up

224
00:09:43,170 --> 00:09:43,960
looking like this.

225
00:09:44,250 --> 00:09:48,780
And then you can either add you can either add text right here in Canada.

226
00:09:48,990 --> 00:09:54,090
But I would I personally like to do is all download these pictures and then I'll pull them up in Photoshop

227
00:09:54,270 --> 00:09:55,410
because I like to text.

228
00:09:55,410 --> 00:09:57,120
That idea gets used in Photoshop.

229
00:09:57,180 --> 00:09:59,700
It's obviously if the pay for Photoshop, but if you don't want to.

230
00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:04,440
Then you don't have to you can simply just use any of the text in Canada and create it yourself.

231
00:10:04,470 --> 00:10:07,140
So what I do is I download it into into Photoshop.

232
00:10:07,170 --> 00:10:07,470
Right.

233
00:10:07,800 --> 00:10:13,050
And I'll open up these pictures right here and I'll go through examples of how I'm just going to put

234
00:10:13,050 --> 00:10:17,750
text in there and how to save them and then upload them to make sure that you get that OK.

235
00:10:18,180 --> 00:10:19,380
So file open.

236
00:10:19,390 --> 00:10:21,160
We're gonna open both of these images up.

237
00:10:22,220 --> 00:10:26,780
And now we have two of the same images, right, just ones, the normal thumbnail version.

238
00:10:26,810 --> 00:10:30,980
And once the mobile thumbnail version and the one that shows up in search results, so they have to

239
00:10:30,980 --> 00:10:33,890
be the main the same basic overall thumbnail.

240
00:10:33,920 --> 00:10:36,470
So we have to also put the text in the image.

241
00:10:36,740 --> 00:10:37,820
That's the title of it.

242
00:10:37,850 --> 00:10:43,390
Remember, so we have to put Poche Mark Sellar tips because that's the title of the actual standalone

243
00:10:43,400 --> 00:10:44,110
piece of content.

244
00:10:44,150 --> 00:10:45,080
I'm going to add text right.

245
00:10:45,080 --> 00:10:45,890
Here we go.

246
00:10:45,980 --> 00:10:48,410
Hashmark Sellar tips.

247
00:10:48,500 --> 00:10:49,490
Very, very simple.

248
00:10:49,520 --> 00:10:53,150
Doesn't have to be super, you know, doesn't have to be anything crazy.

249
00:10:53,390 --> 00:10:55,670
You just want to put it in there to make sure it's legible.

250
00:10:57,170 --> 00:11:01,110
So I want to make it as big and as legible as possible without getting too carried away.

251
00:11:01,130 --> 00:11:02,780
I think that's probably pretty solid right there.

252
00:11:02,780 --> 00:11:04,580
Poche Mark Sellar tips.

253
00:11:04,610 --> 00:11:09,470
Now, I could add some other you know, I could add some could switch the text around, I could add

254
00:11:09,470 --> 00:11:09,700
some.

255
00:11:09,700 --> 00:11:13,550
I'll, you know, blending options here, make it a different style if I wanted to.

256
00:11:13,580 --> 00:11:14,770
So let's go to Styles.

257
00:11:15,350 --> 00:11:17,600
Maybe this maybe that's.

258
00:11:18,500 --> 00:11:19,760
Let's go with this one.

259
00:11:19,760 --> 00:11:21,210
I kind of like that one.

260
00:11:22,280 --> 00:11:24,170
And I'm going to drag it over to the to the left.

261
00:11:24,170 --> 00:11:24,530
Right there.

262
00:11:24,550 --> 00:11:25,850
So that's going to be my thumbnail.

263
00:11:25,880 --> 00:11:27,770
That's gonna be the normal version of my thumb now.

264
00:11:27,770 --> 00:11:28,110
Right there.

265
00:11:28,200 --> 00:11:29,930
Now, can I put that over here?

266
00:11:29,990 --> 00:11:32,780
Yes, I can do the same exact thing right here.

267
00:11:33,140 --> 00:11:34,760
So if we go like this, we're gonna go.

268
00:11:35,010 --> 00:11:39,230
Poche Mark Sellar tips.

269
00:11:41,170 --> 00:11:44,350
And we'll make sure to drop that down so it's legible.

270
00:11:44,890 --> 00:11:45,970
Still too big.

271
00:11:46,180 --> 00:11:47,190
Go one, two, five.

272
00:11:47,260 --> 00:11:48,670
That still might be too big.

273
00:11:48,700 --> 00:11:49,390
Let's see.

274
00:11:50,020 --> 00:11:50,860
Still too big.

275
00:11:50,890 --> 00:11:52,210
So here we go.

276
00:11:52,520 --> 00:11:53,650
Eighty five.

277
00:11:54,100 --> 00:11:56,590
And that's probably a bit better now.

278
00:11:57,070 --> 00:12:01,360
Another thing to hear is I could I could break these into different things, start to go pockmark on

279
00:12:01,540 --> 00:12:05,320
online one right there, then put like Sellar below it and put like Tipps there or I could drag it down

280
00:12:05,320 --> 00:12:05,950
and put it down here.

281
00:12:05,960 --> 00:12:10,300
Postmark seller tips as long as it's not in the main image and it's pretty legible there.

282
00:12:10,360 --> 00:12:12,250
They're pretty go with it but just play around with it.

283
00:12:12,250 --> 00:12:13,600
You'll get better and better at it.

284
00:12:13,960 --> 00:12:17,640
So I might actually make this slightly little littler and go 80.

285
00:12:18,310 --> 00:12:23,320
And then we're also going to make sure that we put that same blending option in there.

286
00:12:24,070 --> 00:12:27,670
So we'll go to Styles and we'll go to this one and we'll put that in there.

287
00:12:27,700 --> 00:12:28,030
So boom.

288
00:12:28,050 --> 00:12:31,540
Poche Mark Sellar tips Mark seller tips, scene text right there.

289
00:12:31,780 --> 00:12:37,810
And also same text, so same text across thumbnails and also same text as the video and the standalone

290
00:12:37,810 --> 00:12:42,280
piece of content so that it basically literally says the title in the thumbnails.

291
00:12:42,340 --> 00:12:47,350
Now we're going to save both these somewhat to save this as I'm to save it as a PMG file.

292
00:12:47,440 --> 00:12:49,350
And you can also save it as a jpeg too.

293
00:12:49,630 --> 00:12:52,000
So JPEG right here and save it as Panji.

294
00:12:52,630 --> 00:12:56,470
And we're going to go get to save it is exactly what the title is as well.

295
00:12:56,470 --> 00:13:02,560
They want the same metadata in your thumbnail as in the title of the video's hashmark seller, Tips.

296
00:13:02,680 --> 00:13:03,010
Boom.

297
00:13:03,070 --> 00:13:04,030
Save that one.

298
00:13:04,360 --> 00:13:06,700
And now we need to save this one as well as the same exact thing.

299
00:13:06,700 --> 00:13:08,470
But on the save it in a different location.

300
00:13:08,470 --> 00:13:10,930
So we'll save it as downloads now because we already have one in there.

301
00:13:10,930 --> 00:13:13,470
That's a Panji that's also called POCKMARK.

302
00:13:13,480 --> 00:13:19,060
SLR Temps writes on the Save It in pictures this time and I'll save it as pass Mark Sellar tips.

303
00:13:19,180 --> 00:13:19,540
Boom.

304
00:13:19,690 --> 00:13:20,080
Done.

305
00:13:20,860 --> 00:13:25,150
And then we're gonna go over and we are out of this canvas now.

306
00:13:26,560 --> 00:13:29,170
And now we're going to add the key are here.

307
00:13:29,170 --> 00:13:33,040
So with if we go down to pictures, this is the thumbnail version right there.

308
00:13:33,040 --> 00:13:33,250
Right.

309
00:13:33,280 --> 00:13:36,340
That's the the 16 or the 19, 20 by 10, 80.

310
00:13:36,340 --> 00:13:36,490
Right.

311
00:13:36,490 --> 00:13:38,590
There are also going to add the background image in there.

312
00:13:39,130 --> 00:13:39,460
Boom.

313
00:13:39,490 --> 00:13:40,600
So now we have both of those.

314
00:13:40,660 --> 00:13:45,460
And now we're going to add the middle one, the mobile version right here, which is the sixteen hunter

315
00:13:45,550 --> 00:13:47,320
or the twelve hundred by sixteen hundred one.

316
00:13:47,950 --> 00:13:49,540
And that means we're done.

317
00:13:49,690 --> 00:13:51,370
So that's how you add thumbnails.

318
00:13:51,460 --> 00:13:53,680
That's how you add thumbnails to Amazon video direct.

319
00:13:53,710 --> 00:13:55,870
This is something that trip me up for a long time.

320
00:13:56,140 --> 00:13:59,260
It seems really, really simple when I lay out every single thing to do.

321
00:13:59,470 --> 00:14:03,430
But for some reason there might be like 10 different things and checkpoints in there that you need to

322
00:14:03,430 --> 00:14:03,730
hit.

323
00:14:04,030 --> 00:14:08,680
And if you hit seven of them or eight of them or nine of them, it's going to be super frustrating.

324
00:14:08,680 --> 00:14:12,430
You're not gonna be able to figure out why you can't get it accepted.

325
00:14:12,460 --> 00:14:13,840
So go through the checklist.

326
00:14:13,870 --> 00:14:16,330
I literally had to do this trial and error over months.

327
00:14:16,360 --> 00:14:16,540
Right.

328
00:14:16,570 --> 00:14:21,010
So it sounds crazy, but I did I'd hit like two of them and then they would deny it.

329
00:14:21,070 --> 00:14:22,570
So I hit like three and then they did not.

330
00:14:22,630 --> 00:14:23,350
And I'd hit like four.

331
00:14:23,350 --> 00:14:23,920
And then they deny.

332
00:14:24,280 --> 00:14:25,930
And I figured all this out on my own.

333
00:14:26,140 --> 00:14:30,250
