I can't tell you how many times you SAVED MY LIFE when I go to google and type "How do I in Premeire Pro...." and your videos ALWAYS come up first and to the rescue! THANK YOU!

Bravo! Concise and straight to the point, if only all tutorials could be like this.

And from where in premiere do I choose the thumbnail?

[marshall]

Good info, would have loved to learn how to make this thumbnail the thumbnail for my video (seen in a computer when browsing files.) Currently, my video has a random still from the video as its thumbnail and I want to control what that is.

[mojoway]

pretty good video not sure why the dislikes? edit: I guess perhaps people want to see the entire process from text adding detail to the youtube upload, but personally found helpful.

You can also do a lot of text effects as well and importing other photos or pngs it can be however long or short you want bc it’s all photos and screenshot wherever

Good video, very concise. Next question - how to apply it to an mp4 file on pc when exporting?

[JBs_explorenmore]

I don't have the + button or the export frame button. Is this because I am on a free version of Adobe Premier Rush? Can I still make a thumbnail using this free version? If so, how? Thanks!
