1
00:00:00,210 --> 00:00:04,170
All right, so let me walk you through how to use Cannava if you do elect to go this route.

2
00:00:04,200 --> 00:00:07,320
Now, one of the benefits of Canada is obviously that it's free, right.

3
00:00:07,350 --> 00:00:13,580
But it doesn't come with a lot of the features that Premier Pro has, obviously not premier pro Foat.

4
00:00:13,620 --> 00:00:14,970
I'm looking at premier pro right next.

5
00:00:14,970 --> 00:00:19,770
Photoshop doesn't come with a lot of the features that Adobe Photoshop has, obviously, as well as

6
00:00:19,770 --> 00:00:22,440
Lightroom, which is something that you're gonna get when you create.

7
00:00:22,560 --> 00:00:24,150
You grabbed the Photoshop bundle.

8
00:00:24,720 --> 00:00:29,460
So I'd recommend that you go this route because there's a lot more functionality and you'll your thumbnails

9
00:00:29,520 --> 00:00:33,780
are gonna be, regardless of whether you're creating courses, whether you're just doing YouTube videos

10
00:00:34,110 --> 00:00:39,090
are one of the things that are going to really get the click and grab eye attention in a competitive

11
00:00:39,420 --> 00:00:39,930
place.

12
00:00:40,260 --> 00:00:44,040
So it's a really, really, really understated that you need to be good at thumbnails.

13
00:00:44,060 --> 00:00:44,260
OK.

14
00:00:44,790 --> 00:00:48,330
That said, if you're just starting out and you don't want to master thumbnails and you don't want to

15
00:00:48,330 --> 00:00:50,190
pay for software, I totally get it.

16
00:00:50,190 --> 00:00:52,080
I've been there before myself.

17
00:00:52,120 --> 00:00:55,170
OK, so let me run you through a quick tutorial on how to use Cannava.

18
00:00:55,230 --> 00:00:56,610
It's pretty self-explanatory.

19
00:00:56,610 --> 00:01:01,190
It's pretty easy to use and it's drag and drop so anybody can use it and pick it up pretty fast.

20
00:01:01,200 --> 00:01:04,740
But let me just run you through a tutorial of how to actually, you know what it looks like.

21
00:01:04,770 --> 00:01:05,800
Here we are on my account.

22
00:01:06,450 --> 00:01:07,590
It's one hundred percent free.

23
00:01:07,950 --> 00:01:10,320
You can sign up today and use it 100 cent free.

24
00:01:10,320 --> 00:01:12,390
And all the features you can create designs.

25
00:01:12,420 --> 00:01:15,360
Use their specific dimensions for certain things.

26
00:01:15,870 --> 00:01:17,430
And then also create custom designs.

27
00:01:18,060 --> 00:01:21,600
So to create a custom design, what you're gonna do, just kind of show you're right here is if you

28
00:01:21,600 --> 00:01:26,410
click create design, it's gonna allow you to either create the design for something specific.

29
00:01:26,430 --> 00:01:26,640
Right.

30
00:01:26,670 --> 00:01:30,390
So if you know specifically you're interested in creating cover for your Facebook page.

31
00:01:30,420 --> 00:01:31,170
Well, there you go.

32
00:01:31,170 --> 00:01:34,950
There's the exact pixel ratio that currently Facebook covers are.

33
00:01:35,070 --> 00:01:38,770
So you just click that and then, you know, OK, that's going to take you to a Facebook cover.

34
00:01:38,850 --> 00:01:39,040
OK.

35
00:01:39,410 --> 00:01:41,040
It's going to take you to the exact dimensions.

36
00:01:41,100 --> 00:01:41,390
OK.

37
00:01:41,880 --> 00:01:46,900
Now, before when in the very beginning, when I actually said and there's an example for YouTube thumbnail

38
00:01:46,900 --> 00:01:47,700
that's very related.

39
00:01:47,720 --> 00:01:53,760
So twelve eighty by seven twenty P is what's typically recommended for YouTube thumbnails.

40
00:01:53,790 --> 00:01:56,990
Now there's also I believe it's nineteen twenty by ten.

41
00:01:57,020 --> 00:01:58,260
ATP is the bigger one.

42
00:01:58,470 --> 00:02:02,370
So keep that in mind now, but just understand that that's, you know, the general dimensions.

43
00:02:03,390 --> 00:02:08,010
Now there is one here that says YouTube thumbnail or YouTube channel art, which is something that I

44
00:02:08,010 --> 00:02:08,640
recommended.

45
00:02:08,670 --> 00:02:09,330
There it is right there.

46
00:02:09,600 --> 00:02:10,260
YouTube channel.

47
00:02:10,370 --> 00:02:10,590
OK.

48
00:02:10,860 --> 00:02:15,390
So let me just click on the Instagram story, as well as YouTube channel to show you the different nuances

49
00:02:15,390 --> 00:02:16,360
of how these actually look.

50
00:02:16,380 --> 00:02:17,820
And we'll go with Instagram post as well.

51
00:02:18,180 --> 00:02:19,950
So you click on Instagram posts, you see, OK.

52
00:02:20,040 --> 00:02:22,410
Literally comes up with the shape of the Instagram post.

53
00:02:22,740 --> 00:02:27,420
And then I can add a picture and you can see I still use this from time to time to, you know, reshapes

54
00:02:27,470 --> 00:02:28,350
my own thumbnails.

55
00:02:28,710 --> 00:02:33,340
You can add a picture in here and then kind of drag it out to fit that actual thumbnail.

56
00:02:33,420 --> 00:02:33,660
Right.

57
00:02:33,760 --> 00:02:34,870
Or that actual thing.

58
00:02:34,890 --> 00:02:39,930
I see that I crafted this thumbnail right here for YouTube and it doesn't actually fit this template

59
00:02:39,960 --> 00:02:40,410
right here.

60
00:02:40,620 --> 00:02:44,910
So when you're creating and crafting something yourself, you can either resize or you can create an

61
00:02:45,000 --> 00:02:46,840
actual canvas like I'm going to show you.

62
00:02:46,860 --> 00:02:47,140
OK.

63
00:02:47,430 --> 00:02:49,920
But then when you download it, it's gonna be those exact dimensions.

64
00:02:49,950 --> 00:02:52,440
So let me download and then I'll show you.

65
00:02:52,860 --> 00:02:56,700
And one of the things that's also gonna help you is when you're state when you're downloading your files

66
00:02:56,700 --> 00:03:01,320
to grab them, you can save your your metadata, which is going to help you rank a little bit better

67
00:03:01,770 --> 00:03:04,560
on YouTube or whatever platform you're using this thumb that want.

68
00:03:04,620 --> 00:03:04,890
OK.

69
00:03:05,100 --> 00:03:08,410
So just going to add a little boost your video, because you'll see obviously it's as untitled.

70
00:03:08,790 --> 00:03:13,530
So if I click this, you're gonna see it pop up with literally the same dimensions for an Instagram

71
00:03:13,530 --> 00:03:14,040
post.

72
00:03:14,950 --> 00:03:15,790
So there you go.

73
00:03:15,820 --> 00:03:16,600
Instagram post.

74
00:03:16,630 --> 00:03:18,430
OK, now it's X out of this one.

75
00:03:18,460 --> 00:03:21,250
Here we are with the example of the YouTube channel.

76
00:03:21,430 --> 00:03:25,240
So for those of you, in the very beginning, when I went through the setting up your YouTube channel

77
00:03:25,350 --> 00:03:29,890
walkthrough, if you need to know how to set up your own YouTube channel or this is how you do it,

78
00:03:29,890 --> 00:03:30,030
right.

79
00:03:30,060 --> 00:03:32,710
You go to the YouTube channel, our template on CAMBA for free.

80
00:03:33,010 --> 00:03:34,900
You can obviously use one of their templates right here.

81
00:03:34,900 --> 00:03:38,780
And then just literally, if you wanted to use this one, you'd get the background.

82
00:03:38,800 --> 00:03:40,650
You can change the wording here.

83
00:03:40,660 --> 00:03:42,490
You just click on it and type whatever you want.

84
00:03:42,910 --> 00:03:46,630
Example of my channel, whatever you want to do.

85
00:03:46,630 --> 00:03:46,880
Right.

86
00:03:46,900 --> 00:03:50,920
Drag it a little bit out, drag it a little bit, and everything's drag and drop here.

87
00:03:50,920 --> 00:03:52,120
It's super easy to use.

88
00:03:52,150 --> 00:03:53,290
You can also like center.

89
00:03:53,290 --> 00:03:54,090
You fold it.

90
00:03:54,110 --> 00:03:55,330
You can change the size.

91
00:03:55,600 --> 00:03:56,590
You could change the font.

92
00:03:56,830 --> 00:03:58,030
There's a number of different things.

93
00:03:58,030 --> 00:04:00,370
And also with a background, too, you can add effects.

94
00:04:00,400 --> 00:04:03,220
So keep that in mind, too, like you can add effects to it.

95
00:04:03,850 --> 00:04:05,650
There's a lot that you can do for free software.

96
00:04:05,680 --> 00:04:06,430
Don't get me wrong.

97
00:04:07,450 --> 00:04:12,220
Now, if you didn't have this and you just had like a background, so let's go to, like, I don't know,

98
00:04:12,220 --> 00:04:14,120
like a red background right now.

99
00:04:14,140 --> 00:04:15,160
It's a horrible example.

100
00:04:15,200 --> 00:04:15,790
Looks terrible.

101
00:04:15,910 --> 00:04:16,860
It just rolled me here.

102
00:04:16,870 --> 00:04:18,160
I just want to show you different features.

103
00:04:18,530 --> 00:04:20,080
So it's really easy to use.

104
00:04:20,110 --> 00:04:21,160
It's just drag and drop.

105
00:04:21,190 --> 00:04:25,510
You can kind of, you know, obviously upload your own pictures into Canada right here by uploading

106
00:04:25,510 --> 00:04:27,160
an image from something you downloaded.

107
00:04:27,230 --> 00:04:32,970
And again, what I usually recommend is going to a stock site like pixels or pics, eBay, or there's

108
00:04:32,980 --> 00:04:33,880
a number of them out there.

109
00:04:33,880 --> 00:04:38,170
You can also just go to Google and search for an image specifically and download an image there.

110
00:04:38,170 --> 00:04:42,130
Although just understand that you might it might come with potential copyright issues eventually.

111
00:04:42,490 --> 00:04:46,180
So recommend doing that, although I do still do it myself from time to time.

112
00:04:46,510 --> 00:04:50,620
If you want a background of an image, just kind of upload in there and put as your background and you

113
00:04:50,620 --> 00:04:53,140
can build text around it and create a thumbnail that way.

114
00:04:53,440 --> 00:04:58,900
Also, a great way to do it can also overlay logos like you'll see I did here with the YouTube logo,

115
00:04:58,990 --> 00:05:00,190
the Amazon logo.

116
00:05:00,800 --> 00:05:06,040
You know, this little this is all built in Photoshop and then I just resize them here for my Instagram

117
00:05:06,040 --> 00:05:06,640
thumbnails.

118
00:05:07,090 --> 00:05:11,110
So that's just the way that you can kind of use the free software on Cannava.

119
00:05:11,200 --> 00:05:12,660
There is no play around with it.

120
00:05:12,670 --> 00:05:14,530
Spend maybe 15, 20 minutes.

121
00:05:14,560 --> 00:05:16,480
It's not hard to master at all.

122
00:05:16,540 --> 00:05:20,380
There's obviously elements here, different shapes that you can add, different things like that.

123
00:05:21,100 --> 00:05:23,080
It's very easy to master.

124
00:05:23,110 --> 00:05:24,220
It's not difficult.

125
00:05:24,250 --> 00:05:28,060
And you can spend, you know, 15, 20 minutes and you'll be able to get this down.

126
00:05:28,130 --> 00:05:28,300
OK.

127
00:05:28,810 --> 00:05:31,480
Now, on the home page, just to kind of recap before we end this.

128
00:05:31,750 --> 00:05:36,850
If you are interested in creating a specific design, you know, and none of these templates actually

129
00:05:36,850 --> 00:05:37,960
fit as you're scrolling.

130
00:05:37,960 --> 00:05:38,170
Right.

131
00:05:38,320 --> 00:05:40,480
Like you're not interested in creating anything like this.

132
00:05:40,750 --> 00:05:46,240
Maybe you have a specific Web site that needs like a specific pixel ratio or a specific aspect ratio

133
00:05:46,270 --> 00:05:47,620
that you need to create something with.

134
00:05:47,920 --> 00:05:51,310
Then you want to go up to creative design and then custom dimensions.

135
00:05:51,370 --> 00:05:51,700
OK.

136
00:05:51,790 --> 00:05:56,810
And then if that Web site's telling you, like, hey, you need like a 720 by like six, 60, you know,

137
00:05:56,890 --> 00:06:01,790
pixel ratio picture, then you just literally type that in 720 by six sixty, OK?

138
00:06:02,110 --> 00:06:03,320
And then you create your design.

139
00:06:03,580 --> 00:06:05,830
And it's going to pop up with those exact dimensions.

140
00:06:05,890 --> 00:06:06,100
OK.

141
00:06:06,190 --> 00:06:08,020
So that's important to keep in mind.

142
00:06:08,380 --> 00:06:11,350
Canvas very, very easy to kind of master once you're starting it.

143
00:06:11,380 --> 00:06:16,420
But I just wanted to kind of walk you through, you know, an easy to learn and easy to understand and

144
00:06:16,420 --> 00:06:17,920
let you kind of, you know, kind of level.

145
00:06:17,920 --> 00:06:22,330
Would you be like, you know, Cannava, I'm not a master of it because I don't necessarily use it.

146
00:06:22,390 --> 00:06:25,530
I used Photoshop and Lightroom and I just resize images with canvas.

147
00:06:25,600 --> 00:06:26,200
A lot of times.

148
00:06:26,530 --> 00:06:29,470
But anybody can learn canvas in about 15, 20 minutes.

149
00:06:29,500 --> 00:06:30,640
And it doesn't take a lot.

150
00:06:30,670 --> 00:06:32,410
It's literally drag and drop.

151
00:06:32,440 --> 00:06:32,740
Right.

152
00:06:33,010 --> 00:06:38,030
You upload a picture, you drag it out, drop some text there, type it out, download your thumb.

153
00:06:38,030 --> 00:06:40,100
Now, save it with the specific metadata.

154
00:06:40,150 --> 00:06:44,830
And bam, you've got your own thumb now, custommade, just to how you like it.

155
00:06:44,860 --> 00:06:49,030
So use Cannava if you're not interested in Photoshop or Lightroom, but obviously I'd recommend that

156
00:06:49,030 --> 00:06:51,250
you use Photoshop and Lightroom.
