When it comes to making thumbnails, it helps to have a template. I used a border for all of my videos, and a similar format, that way people can remember that it's me when they see my thumbnail. I'd advise you to find a border you like, and maybe get an artist to give you a mock-up for a template? It can save you a lot of time for the future ^^

What do you mean a border? dont really understand sorry? :D
If you look at my videos, they have a border on them. They surround the outside of the picture. For me, that's my branding basically, and I feel that it looks appealing/crisp. Everyone has their own preference when it comes to thumbnails :p

I Post gaming videos so mostly what i would do is take a screenshot from the game and add certain memes or just take a good shot from it and write the name of the game with small effects like blur or liquify (in photoshop)
