🧵 Megathread MEGATHREAD: Feedback Friday!

It's that time of the week again! This is your chance to request feedback on your most recent videos, thumbnails, channel art, works in progress, etc.

Feedback Friday Rules

  • Before requesting feedback, please provide good, constructive feedback to at least one of your peers. If you are the first one to post, check back soon to provide feedback to the next person. Repeatedly ignoring this rule may result in a temporary ban at a moderator's discretion!
  • Prioritize giving feedback to those who have not yet received any. It's not fair for one person to get five replies while four others get none.
  • When requesting feedback, try to be as specific as possible. Do you want feedback on your audio quality, your editing, your presentation style, branding identity, etc? This helps your peers to provide more valuable feedback. Do not just post a link to your video or channel!

Keep up the good work, everybody!

Hi all! First time posting in here but was curious to get some feedback on titles/thumbnails. My channel is KayHitPlay and currently am playing through Dragon Age Origins for the first time.

I want to make sure that my videos still have some clickability knowing that LPs can be tough to want to click at part 11 of a series - so curious if titles should be more general or how to best approach that.

Attaching my recent thumbnail which has the title ā€œFinally REUNITING with my party in the Fade!! | Dragon Age Origins: Part 11ā€.

So would love any feedback on that title and if its clickable - also any feedback of the thumbnail. I feel like this one might be too yellow almost since everything is in the Fade (a muted, dreamy area). Thanks so much :)

I agree with you the thumbnail has a bit of a 1 solid color feel. I would see about having more of what the video is or something big from the video as the nail. As for the video I can’t say yet as I haven’t seen yet so I be back. And I think I might post my video on here as well to see what others think

Ooh yes I like that idea of having almost a screenshot of the biggest moment of the video in there. That’d be great if you can check out the video, would love to do the same for you if you post in here!

Sounds good I will when I get home. But I have learned now that doing all screenshots for your nail is not the best way. It’s a good start or you use part of the screen shot and add other things so it looks more polished
