I don't think you have done a video about the other option.. auto generated and if there is a way of making use of it.. (maybe as a guide or idea) ie is the auto generated a random choice or does it actually analyse the video?
Just thinking if there's a point in the video that is rewatched.. could there be a potential Thumbnail.
btw Yellow? arrow might have been better on the black background.
I first found your channel in 2019 when I had almost zero subs. You helped me a lot in reaching 1M this year. Thank you!
Oh nice! Congratulations on your first million!!!! 👊🤓
@@NickNimmin why the 🤓👊 emoji?
Wow I know your channel, you are non-Chinese who speaks Chinese really well! Wow.
We have it! It is very interesting... Its been nice to see how people react differently to images, words, and colors.
It really is! I love just tossing in random ideas just to see if something stands out...lol.
Definitely looking forward to this feature rolling out to my channel. Great video Nick
It's really interesting to see the results when you get it.
why I don't have it? I can just upload 1, not even test 2
THIS IS INTERESTING!!! CZcams making positive progress
Hopefully they can add back dislikes soon
Thank you for making video on this update. I am working on improving thumbnails of my CZcams videos. For me, it takes a lot of time in making thumbnails. And, this feature is helpful. I will definitely try it.
Thank you for this tutorial. I’ve been waiting for this. I hope I get the feature soon.
I hope so too!
Great informational video, can’t wait to try this when I get access! Love that it is based on watch time vs CTR. And hey I got a cameo! 🤩😄
So helpful as always. Good stuff. Thanks, Nick
Thanks, Nick, this was really informative. Especially the part about those slight changes, when best to test that.
Sounds great! I always here from CZcams Channel Growth videos that you should make more than one thumbnail to figure out what makes a viewer want to click. I know they already had A B testing in TubeBuddy, but I think it will be much more effective built into the video uploader. Looking forward to this change!!
Thank you. I’m looking forward to this! I usually have to decide between 2-3 thumbnails, so this will be fun to see who wins. I remember Mr. Beast said they add hair to all his thumbnails so it looks more like him when he became popular, so everyone recognizes the thumbnail.🙃 Yet, my goals are different from him, so I’m with you. Be you -not an old version of you.👍🏽
"be you, not an old version of you" - love it!
informative news Thanks Nick.
Super interesting! Cannot wait to start testing! ❤
Patiently waiting for this feature! I'm sure it'll be great for a lot of creators!!
Very interesting great idea. Nick you're the best.
I'm waiting for this feature!!! Can't wait!😊
Can't wait that it is available for everyone. Thank you for sharing how it works.
My pleasure! 🤓👊
I am so excited about this feature, waiting as patiently as I can 😂
*That's an interesting feature, many of the videos I do are of car shows and the potential to try wildly varying thumbnails will put this new feature to good test - when I get access to it. Thanks for the walk-thru.*
Cool...hope I get this option soon
i really cant wait for this to happen. been making multiple thumbs to get ready
finally!! I'm really looking forward to this update and cannot wait to play around with it, thanks for sharing!
👊 🤓
Love the in depth knowledge you share 👏🏽👏🏽
🤓👊
Can't wait for this feature! 🔥
FYI for this video I got the ABC thumbnail 😁
Thank you Nick. I was looking for information on this :D I can't wait til they all it on me channel. Cause thumbnails are the hardest.
Thanks again
🤓👊
you mentioned this didn't get lots of views-well NOW that it's coming out, we are here to get your wisdom!
Thanks for all the tips on your channel on how to grow on CZcams...had to restart all over again but at least am seeing some small progress
Much love 💕
Hi Nick, thank you for the info on the new feature that is coming. I will defiantly put that tool to good use. I was wondering if you have a video on when is a good time to start looking for a manager to help with brand deals. How do I find a company who is familiar with our creator industry? What should I look for in a management person/company and what should I expect to pay for the service? I have done some research and have not been able to find the information I am looking for. Thanks for any information that you can share. Love your videos they have helped my channel grow from the beginning.
Literally today, I changed a thumbnail on my latest video that wasn't getting views, (actually, it was the 4th thumbnail that I had used), and bingo, the views started instantly. Just goes to show different thumbnails work. So this feature will be used by me all the time.
A great new feature. Thanks for lettings know about it and your thoughts 👍🏻
No problem 👍
Im so excited for this!
Can’t wait to get this I’d love to make 3 different versions of my thumbnail Thanks.
Love this, I need all the help I can get in regards to watch time.
I am anxiously awaiting it for my channel! I hope that it helps my channel and videos out i need it lol
Can't wait to get this feature. Game changer!
Great news about thumbnail thanks
Awesome job man 👨
Thanks! 👍
CZcams stepping up its game with A/B Thumbnail Testing. Excited to see how this A/B testing feature helps creators like us optimize visuals for maximum click-through rates.
I don't have this feature yet. So I will come back later to this video when I do have the feature. If that is ok?
Great information 😊
Glad you think so!
i dont have it and i need it soooooooo bad! CMON CZcams SHOW ME THE MONEY!!!. Thanks Nick for your knowledge.
Hahahahahaha!
I just noticed this today, let me upload 3 of them at once, first time doing it! Can't wait to see how it goes
Well done! A spam-free informative film that was genuinely useful.
Glad it was helpful!
Well, *I* like your face!! 😄This is great, thank you SO much for the in depth how to!!
Wow, this is awesome
Really cool!👍
This looks like a cool thing, I think I can say for us all that we sometimes struggle to pick a good thumbnail
Just found out that I have this feature! Can't wait to use it!
Nice!!
Love this💯 I wonder if I can go back to old videos and add testing🤔
Yes you can.
@@NickNimmin thanks! Realized after watching the rest of your video that you implied this🙏 really appreciate you Nick! Hope all is well with you.-Patrick
Thanks for sharing..
nick got the thumbnail test ab feature thankyou
Nice!
I don't have this feature yet but looks promising.
You will in the future.
Is it going to be rolled out in the studio app, too, or only on desktop?
Oh I'm hoping everything now, I need this feature on studio app, I don't have desktop. I pray to god!
I’m not sure.
Still waiting for this to be available on my channels because i've heard about it for so long now. Hope it's soon. Beard color? :P lol Red beard
So far the beard colors are not making a difference...hahahaha
Good information
I’m still waiting to get this option.
Coming soon. :)
@@NickNimmin I always make 4 thumbnails per video and rotate them out once YT slows down its impression rate. If the views are decent then I keep the original.
I've been waiting forever for this tool to come out. Unfortunately, I'll have to wait just a bit longer as I am not one of the 50,000. I can't wait for this to roll out to more users though.
Finally a Great Update for CZcams Thumbnail Designers. 😂
This my first time I'm hearing of this feature!
Can u do an in debth video about vertical lives. How to do polls. 3rd party services. Like stream yard for multiple guest. And everthing else. Yt is pushing it
Stay tuned!
@@NickNimmin sweet thanks , qlways can count on u
this is king!!
Can you do this after a video is already uploaded or only at the time of upload?
Both (once you have it).
This is a great tool!
Waiting
You’re the best ❤
🤓👊
Thank you
Any idea of how long this will take to roll out to all creators? Great vid!
Even CZcams won't put a timeframe on it. For now, later in 2024.
1:50 This option isn't there for me yet, it gives me two options, being "Change" and "Download". Until I get the "test and compare" option, no point watching past 1:50
A LOT of creators out there patiently waiting.
BOOM!!!
🤓👊
4:59 love your beard
I learned something today.
I wish they had put an A/B/C title test with the thumbnails.. 3 different title / thumbnail combinations would be way better!
The beard is divine❤
Thanks!
Is there a set public release date for this? Or is it gonna be rolled out at a random time
Right now, its sometime in 2024.
I'm love you from Africa!
🤓 ✋
helpful... thank you
🤓👊
Any idea when this will be widely available?
Everyone is supposed to have it by the end of the year.
If we do an A/B test when our video is first published, won't the fact that all our subscribed viewers are going to be served our thumbnail affect the results? If so, should we wait a couple of days (or some other time period) before initiating such a test?
Yes. Publish and test. Wait 3 days and test again. Wait 28 days and test again. You can toss one in the middle too if you want.
Nick, this is a game changer. Unfortunately it has no meaning for me yet until it shows up on my studio.
I like it when the beta testing is short and the distribution is fast not the other way around when beta testing is long and distribution is real slow. Just my opinion of course.
Hey man, I just wanted to share the good news that after nearly 4 years of exhaustive work and taking in the countless advice you’ve given over time I’ve finally hit a video that gained nice momentum and track. I have 794 subs and this video just recently crossed 4.1k views.
I’ve tried to copy its success but so far has failed to gain traction on new videos. Meaning that I still haven’t find exactly what about my successful video made it successful because if I can figure that out I can replicate it.
But you have no idea how much I’ve been celebrating to finally break that slow momentum wall to finally start seeing significant differences. It felt like for the first time it wasn’t all a waste. And it’s thanks to you man. And others in yo it niche.
I had almost quit a few times. Frustrated and angry. But now I’m on to something. Just trying to figure out how to build off of this success and accelerate it.
I feel like I’m so close now to something great!
Good video! 👍
It’s rolling out now.
@@NickNimmin yes sir! I got it yesterday! Finally! 👍
hey nick! when we will be able to use it as well?
CZcams have not committed to a rollout date except to say by the end of 2024.
Hey Nick NIMMIN 😊👋
👋
My current video is not showing the thumbnail to viewers.
I can see it on my end. I have changed it, made sure it was the right format and size, chosen a screenshot from YT of the video, used a different computer to upload it and it still shows a gray thumbnail with 3 dots to the viewer for the thumbnail. What would cause this?
It could just be a display glitch. although if the file size for the thumbnail was too big, it might not take - but you typically get an error message in that case. Right now, what looks like a frame from the video as your thumbnail on the most recent video.
So I understand this correctly, does this only work on new content or can I go back to previously posted content, design new thumbnails for that older content and test them out?
You can go back to old videos and use it too. All of the videos on your channel will have the option.
So if this feature is unlocked on our channel, we will only see that option during the initial upload? Not after the videos been public for a while?
You’ll always see it.
Its broken, if you upload the exact same thumbnail in the 3 slots you will get different results for each, when in reality it should be the same or very close.
If you don't want to test 3 different thumbnails, you should just upload a single thumbnail and not run a test. CZcams does not recommend even testing similar thumbnails, so needless to say, you're wasting time test 3 identical thumbnails. How well does the tool work? The jury is out, we shall see over time.
@@NickNimmin I'm not op, but it is broken, if you uploaded 3 of the same image and one of those 3 has more watch time than the others, that is a proof that the style doesn't matter, what matters is the people it was shown to, for it to work properly it would need to show the all 3 thumbnails to the same person and whichever they click and watch more of is the winner.
What do you think the minimum number of views on a video will give a valid test? For example, I only have a few videos out so far and the top 2 are 2.1k and 1.7k. Also is it worth it to spend a little time going back on some older videos or just go with the new releases?
If you’re still getting impressions on old videos then they can have tests also.
hey nick, do you think CZcams will get rid of CTR and just have watch time share? Do you think thats the reason they arent using CTR.
No, CTR is still a valuable stat to tell you how people respond to your packaging.
@@NickNimmin ok that's what I thought, just curious with the new stat :D
Can this be done with existing videos? or is it only for new videos? I'd love to go back and test the thumbnails on older videos
Yes, existing videos are doable.
Have you done a video on obs using vertical live stream that gets picked up on CZcams shorts
Not yet. A video on the vert live streaming is coming soon.
@@NickNimmin good I see other videos but think u can explain better
Muito interessante esse recurso de dublagem automática.
It sure is!
Nick, is there ever opportunity to submit a channel to you for review?
When I do my channel review live streams over on the @TubeSpanner channel - we select channels by random draw.
I need to keep up with CZcams news, this is intresting, tho would one of the 50 thousand channels be based on subcount or just about every channel no matter what gets the feature?
They were picked based on how active and some are likely in a beta testing group as well. Big and smaller channels.
@@NickNimmin oh well in that case, looks like need to be starting my channel first video.
UPDATE: I uploaded my first video yesterday, just 52 subscribers, hopefully I get the feature.
What an improvement! Thanks for sharing … remember, it may turn out that you need to SHAVE that beard 😂
👀
❤
Gracias por el doblaje español 😏😏
¡Mi placer! ¿Como suena?
@@NickNimmin And....you have a soulless and feminine voice Hahaha, (and some small mistakes) but it is understandable and it is more comfortable than reading subtitles. PS if you eventually need a speaker/translator write to me, I know people 😎
I guess the AI makes it soulless 😆 Great feedback.
@@NickNimmin Why is it a woman's voice? 😅 Do you do it automatically, paying or with a company? I developed a code to make voices in English from a doc, but it doesn't convince me
Dear Nick! thanks for all your work, I was wondering if you have a specific video explaining How to bring traffic to my Long Form videos and get Subs using CZcams Shorts?
I want to start with shorts to grow my channel
CZcams shorts viewers are on shorts. Only the most engaged will flow through. Focus on making good content for both and you'll have crossover viewers.
So this is only available on computer, not mobile?
Right now, the beta is on desktop. I'm not sure what CZcams's plans are for mobile in regards to the initial rollout.
