Hi everyone

My first video has been doing good for the past couple of days and ended up getting 338 views all from America and Canada but the views have stopped coming in - I'm experimenting with different titles and thumbnails and need help picking a good thumbnail.

To give context about the video- its about me being a beginner collector starting my very first Pokémon collection.

this is what I had before: - https://imgur.com/a/thumbnail-exploration-otcN9bZo

thumbnail 3 on this link was the one i ended up going with because I couldn't find the thumbnails linked above lol - https://imgur.com/a/Ng7lFVi I'm trying to create a theme between the thumbnails so people know its me and that the video is episodic in nature.

please provide feedback thanks.

Okay So I like a little of the First one and a little of the second one.
On the first one I like that it says EP 2 and that its a clean thumbnail with interesting eye catching colors but it doesn't really show me what the video is about and the title doesn't give me any clues either. Like are you talking about Magic the gathering, Pokemon, Yu-Gi-Oh or some other obscure card game.

Also just a quick question is Shrouded Fable the most hated set? if so why?
The second one is is better in that it gives me more information. I just want to know if in the video you go over maybe why its hated as I cant seem to find any information that it is and if that's what your video is about ... I think the second one is also a bit too bright personally in the color scheme but if you like it then that's also important.
Overall, Although I like the sleek way the first one look I think the second one is just better as it gives a better sense of what the video is about.

hey thanks for the feedback i added these poke balls to the images - you think it makes a difference? https://imgur.com/a/o7itCRF also the reason there is controversy around shrouded fable is because the set is a mini set which means theres lots of duplicates, the pull rates for the big cards are really low, it was quickly overshadowed by the new sets that were realeased straight after, and the focus on the ex pokemon was another downside because the pokemon wern't exactly fan favourites - i mean theres lots of reasons but im just unpacking packs and unboxing elite trainer boxes 😄

Wow yeah thats way better but uh the image of the box is really bright now with the dark background so it pulls away from everythig else. And weirdly I think the title need to be Unboxing a hated set!? It's a weirdly incomplete sentence the way you have it. I feel like its super close though

oh the reason the picture is so bright is because the sun was really shining wheni took the picture 😅 the video title is Shrouded Fable Master Set Journey Ep. 1 – Lucky or Doomed?

#

i didn't want to repeat what the thumbnail says so i added more information

#

well not more different i guess

#

from my understand people see the thumbnail first and then they see the title

#

Oh if you have an image editing software just lower the tint on the image so you don't have to retake the whole thing

So I Selected just the box and then lowered the brightness on the box and upped the contrast so that it didn't distort

#

I then Inversed the selection and did the same to the hands. The reason I had to do it this way was because the hands are well they are a different color so it distorts differently

#

ill figure out how to select parts of an image another time 😄

#

im happy with what i have - thanks for your help! hopefully people who see the thumbnail on youtube click it 😄
