hey thanks for the tips

[@DrMorocho]

I just heard of PicMonkey, came to KZbin to understand how it works and found one of the best explaining tutorials. Clear and easy to understand. Thanks.

[@ChannelEmpire]

Thanks!

[@emilyphu4064]

DrMorocho I agree. 👍🏻

[@daydreamdollies16]

I think this might not work out then 😢

[@CYBOPOD88]

It was a long time coming, but I finally found a photo editing tutorial that I can follow along with... No gyrating mouse movements, flying around the screen unnecessarily, while mumbling something incoherent . . You made it easy follow your instuctions...and you even darkened and highlighted where you were..and where you were going.. . Great job!

[@ChannelEmpire]

Thanks!

[@jayysemi]

Andy | Channel Empire is there a way to actually add effects to an imported picture? In your video you darken the edges but when import my own picture it doesn't allow me to darken the edges for some reason but will work if I just use a coloured background.

Ever since I started using picmonkey, I keep getting Firefox server not found. To be fair, I don't know if there's a connection. I clean out caches, cookies, temp files, adobe, etc., but still the server problem persists.

[@ChannelEmpire]

Try Chrome google.com/chrome

[@PseudoChicken]

Thanks!

[@ChannelEmpire]

[@goose5673]

can you reply with a link to the icon browsing thing

[@RSM1]

thnx bro

[@janaj.jacobson9173]

Andy, thank you. I will be dropping a text bubble into my iMovie. Can I link the bubble to a url ? I can't find the option in picmonkey.

[@ChannelEmpire]

jana jacobson You can use an annotation in KZbin after you upload the video to do that. Check out this resource for more info: support.google.com/youtube/answer/92710?hl=en

[@janaj.jacobson9173]

Channel Empire Thank you. If I design a text bubble in PicMonkey is there a place within PicMonkey to link a URL to my text bubble?

[@ChannelEmpire]

jana jacobson I don't think so

[@janaj.jacobson9173]

Channel Empire Thank you very much

[@switchedchannels9886]

How do you put the thumbnail on the video?

[@RoyalKing-nw5hv]

At the end how did he put in his thumbnail?

[@CutesyBearCrochet]

I dont know if you will read this but I just got picmonkey and just finished my thumbnail for my video but it is not letting me change the size of my thumbnail to exactly 1280 x 720 it keeps correcting it to a different size how to I get it to be exactly 1280 x 720 and not have it change? .... if that makes sense.

[@paulrussell3049]

I got some thumnails containing text, will picmonkey enlarge thumbnails with text but without pixilating please?

[@ChannelEmpire]

If the images are really small and you enlarge them they will pixelate.

[@aliali-hk3dm]

I watched like the first 2 minuts then i liked this video and subscribe your channel! VERRY NICE video!
