I don't think you have done a video about the other option.. auto generated and if there is a way of making use of it.. (maybe as a guide or idea) ie is the auto generated a random choice or does it actually analyse the video? Just thinking if there's a point in the video that is rewatched.. could there be a potential Thumbnail. btw Yellow? arrow might have been better on the black background.

Hi Nick, thank you for the info on the new feature that is coming. I will defiantly put that tool to good use. I was wondering if you have a video on when is a good time to start looking for a manager to help with brand deals. How do I find a company who is familiar with our creator industry? What should I look for in a management person/company and what should I expect to pay for the service? I have done some research and have not been able to find the information I am looking for. Thanks for any information that you can share. Love your videos they have helped my channel grow from the beginning.

Nick, this is a game changer. Unfortunately it has no meaning for me yet until it shows up on my studio. I like it when the beta testing is short and the distribution is fast not the other way around when beta testing is long and distribution is real slow. Just my opinion of course. Hey man, I just wanted to share the good news that after nearly 4 years of exhaustive work and taking in the countless advice you’ve given over time I’ve finally hit a video that gained nice momentum and track. I have 794 subs and this video just recently crossed 4.1k views. I’ve tried to copy its success but so far has failed to gain traction on new videos. Meaning that I still haven’t find exactly what about my successful video made it successful because if I can figure that out I can replicate it. But you have no idea how much I’ve been celebrating to finally break that slow momentum wall to finally start seeing significant differences. It felt like for the first time it wasn’t all a waste. And it’s thanks to you man. And others in yo it niche. I had almost quit a few times. Frustrated and angry. But now I’m on to something. Just trying to figure out how to build off of this success and accelerate it. I feel like I’m so close now to something great! Good video! 👍

@iammarkbauer Ай бұрын

Its broken, if you upload the exact same thumbnail in the 3 slots you will get different results for each, when in reality it should be the same or very close.

@NickNimmin Ай бұрын

If you don't want to test 3 different thumbnails, you should just upload a single thumbnail and not run a test. KZfaq does not recommend even testing similar thumbnails, so needless to say, you're wasting time test 3 identical thumbnails. How well does the tool work? The jury is out, we shall see over time.

@PaladinCaddy Ай бұрын

@@NickNimmin I'm not op, but it is broken, if you uploaded 3 of the same image and one of those 3 has more watch time than the others, that is a proof that the style doesn't matter, what matters is the people it was shown to, for it to work properly it would need to show the all 3 thumbnails to the same person and whichever they click and watch more of is the winner.

If we do an A/B test when our video is first published, won't the fact that all our subscribed viewers are going to be served our thumbnail affect the results? If so, should we wait a couple of days (or some other time period) before initiating such a test?

Yes. Publish and test. Wait 3 days and test again. Wait 28 days and test again. You can toss one in the middle too if you want.

I have changed it, made sure it was the right format and size, chosen a screenshot from YT of the video, used a different computer to upload it and it still shows a gray thumbnail with 3 dots to the viewer for the thumbnail. What would cause this?

@NickNimmin 2 ай бұрын

It could just be a display glitch. although if the file size for the thumbnail was too big, it might not take - but you typically get an error message in that case. Right now, what looks like a frame from the video as your thumbnail on the most recent video.
