How can I make animated thumbnails for my gallery of videos?

How do you set thumbnails for YouTube videos?

  • I have a YouTube channel and want to set thumbnails...I work with Photo Shop and make awesome thumbnails, but it never works. I heard you had to put it in at the beginning of the video, but that didn't work. I use iMovie. Thanks :P

  • Answer:

    If you're a YouTube partner and allow them to place ads in your videos then you have to contact them and ask a permission to use a specific thumbnail BUT you have to have LOTS of views in order to qualify for this. Otherwise,try setting the picture EXACTLY at 1:00 (one minute ) mark and see if it works.

Take the length of your video (LOV) and then: 1St Thumbnail Time = LOV / 4 2nd Thumbnail Time = 2 * (LOV / 4) 3rd Thumbnail Time = 3 * (LOV / 4) http://www.youtube.com/user/SuperShortAndSweet

You have to be a youtube partner for custom thumbnails.
