Step 6 · Thumbnail
Thumbnails that look like your genre
Take any picture from your video or make a new one designed as a thumbnail, with room for a title. Add a few words and the lettering matches the genre: art deco for noir, gold capitals for fantasy, soft lowercase for lo-fi.
What you get
Made to be clicked
New thumbnail pictures follow the look that works in your genre and leave space for the title.
Lettering that fits
Ten genres with two lettering styles each, from art deco to hand lettering.
Spelling checked
The finished text is read back, and redrawn if a letter came out wrong.

How it works
- 01
Pick a picture
Use any picture from the project or make a new one.
- 02
Add text
Take the suggested 1 to 4 words or write your own, up to 40 characters.
- 03
Download
Every version stays in a strip, so you can compare them and download the best one.
Good to know
- The first new picture and the first text version are included in your project.
- The text suggestion comes from the SEO step, so the thumbnail and the title tell the same story.
- Each click makes a new version, and nothing is overwritten.
Questions
Do I have to add text?
No, text is optional. Many ambient channels use a clean picture.
What if the text has a mistake?
Every Mood Studio reads the text back and redraws it once if it's wrong. If it's still not right, the version is marked as unchecked and you can try again.
Can I use a picture from my video?
Yes, any picture in the project can become the thumbnail.
