Reviewing Old MKBHD Thumbnails!

[@mkbhd]

I swear I could still make thumbnails in Gimp if I had enough time to remember all the controls 😅

[@TheStudio]

do it, you won’t

[@joshentertainment2]

You did good for the utilities/software you had

[@WillUlt1mate11]

Seriously try make one of your next video thumbnails in GIMP, see if we notice!

[@crazyaboutspace]

Okay

[@thehasinhafiz]

New video idea

[@meilich_m]

My favorite part of the video is the top quality animations for the revisions. So smooth and clean that I almost took it for granted.

[@melissa.deklerk]

They're so good! And they probably took a team member a while to do them. The knife animating and leaving a cut on the phone. That's slick.

[@wavensdorvad]

So much time expended on the little things. That is what makes this whole team so amazing!

[@WillUlt1mate11]

I’m honestly not sure if my fav channel is studio or MKBHD! I am a sucker for this BTS and less structured stuff

[@Soraviel]

You & me both😅

[@sohammittal4878]

What is BTS?

Tim giving honest reviews is insane. Your boss is right next to you and yet you're honest and yourself. That's what I love about this studio group.

[@Fastman698]

A lot of people have the power to do this more than they realize.

[@powerjd]

Being a fan/subscriber of the channel since the early days, this video hit me hard. You can see the sadness in Marques’ eyes when the lg flex thumbnail gets brought up. For a channel that hit Samsung so hard for the fake moon pictures, having ultra processed images that simply don’t exist in real life rubs me the wrong way. On the other hand, he’s doing so well that he can afford to pay a person exclusively to create thumbnails. Insane flex.

[@mortalspiral]

I really enjoy the animated mock-ups of a more modern versions of old thumbnails!

[@enigmachish]

Tim talking about how he felt affirmation after the thumbnail went viral, Meanwhile Marques: BICEP

[@ajpetix]

Great design work, Tim! That F-150 Lightning piece was definitely incredible. It deserved to be blown up in a magazine.

[@BurntBanana]

Tim is the type of person who'll pat you on the back after he verbally eviscerates you

[@PurposePhilip]

Gotta love Tim. He is so humble 21:00

[@Maxible]

MKBHD thumbnails are next level, kudos Tim!!!

[@morticiahavisham]

"Did you make my bicep look bigger?" lmao Marques please 😂

Did I roast Marques enough or nah

It was seriously so cool to see the process behind both of their final products. Amazing work, gentlemen 🤙🏼

[@JUSTINBUISSON]

Tim is crushing this!

[@jefiye]

This video, together with the wvfrm podcast, made Friday officially my best day of the week

[@melissa.deklerk]

Right?! I watched waveform today 15mins after it was published and it made my Friday evening much better. I'm about to start this video 😊

[@jefiye]

@melissa.deklerk would it be weird if I said I sometimes listen to the audio podcast, then watch the video 😅

[@melissa.deklerk]

​@@jefiyeoh I understand! Sometimes you absolutely have to see the facial expressions and the interaction between the guys. It adds so much to the entertainment value.

[@jefiye]

@@melissa.deklerk yeah

[@thelonelyloner7]

I like the old thumbnails, I can just remember when KZbin wasn't full of crazy faces as thumbnails

[@JAndrewV]

yea we rlly need to get back to that

[@Tresorthas]

There is a firefox extension called "Clickbait remover for KZbin" that replaces thumbnails with a shot from the video.

[@AlexMcDaniels]

21:18 My boy Marques showing off his guns 🤣

[@dustinyoo4990]

As a graphic designer these types of videos inspire me ! Keep up the great work

[@thelonelyloner7]

Tim's work is actually so inspiring, I've checked out his Instagram and his page and the things he did/does are pretty cool. I'm glad he gets to express his thoughts and his work because most of the time the work he does on videos just doesn't get the praise it should. Keep up the great work!

[@johnsekhukhune1730]

Tim you are a genius, and a great addition too the team. You make everything we see, visually appealing. Keep up the good work 🎉🎉🎉

[@JosephHerzog]

This insight is so incredibly important for those of us trying to start creating. Thanks so much for sharing! Also love how most of Tim's input is how each edit made him feel. Its not all about the data or the analytics; even talented pros like Tim have moments of self doubt which is so reassuring to hear.

[@sreedhar6745]

I love MKBHD channel videos, but Studio videos are extremely wholesome and fun!

[@ybemad]

This video is another example of why videos on this channel are rewatchable. So interesting to get these little reveals about how the small unsung details of a video come together - 8 hour edit of a photograph! That picture of the city reflected on the back of the phone, seeing how much the details and workflow have changed. Great 👍🏾

[@MisterSixty]

Andrew - Tim 🐐 - Marquez: This was good, thank you. Great team; great concept. Looking forward to more.

[@garyvoigt321]

Tim - You are really good at what you do. 👍🏼

[@hiimapop7755]

These Studio uploads always fills the fun part I'm missing from the informative and super interesting videos on the main channel and waveform podcast. Love it.

[@Deathsead747]

I love how humble and great of a boss, Marques is. TBH, watching those old videos, I really enjoyed Marques's thumbnails a lot at the time. It was still a level above everyone else and with Tim joining and The Studio talent expanding that quality of work has just kept on increasing. Kudos to you all!

[@astrid_asfo]

So interesting to see how your thumbnails have evolved. Also the whole visual identity of The Studio channel is SO nice! Love it!

[@MRLNLY]

Such a good choice to include the revised version of the thumbnails. Appreciate it so much

[@nuffens]

I personally love Tim's messages icon because when I see it, and I've already seen it, I want to rewatch it, just the thumbnail really draws me in

[@theuned]

Love this video! Thanks Tim for your hard work, and humility.

[@yoitsba]

I didnt expect to like this video as much as i did! We need more Tim content and he needs some more positive affirmation! He's great at what he does! 🏆

[@maxuuell]

I'd love to see the break down of how Tim did the Ford Lightning edit. I did the same thumbnail with my Model Y review, and I had troubleling up the car between the different shots.

[@Vanquisher1998]

We love your work tim! Keep going! ❤

[@khylee72]

👍 Nicely done, Tim (and these kinds of "behind the scenes" always fascinate me)

[@AshleyTowey]

Loves this - as a graphic design student this is super insightful!

[@seanheinzman4733]

shout out Tim- we see u, we love u, and of it wasn't for ur work, we woudn't watch the videos in the first place

[@uKoalele]

i do my thumbnails in Davinci.. Awesome to see Tims and Marques insights behind these seemingly simple thumbnails. There's much to learn

[@aaronmy]

Great work Tim! I use photoshop and gimp for architectural rendering so I know how difficult your work can be. Especially when there's time constraints. Your thumbnails are generally awesome. Definitely keep up the good work!

[@jaquab003]

This video was fun to watch. Big-ups Tim!

[@Leanzazzy]

14:34 Tim explaining how he worked so hard on the thumbnail. Marques: C+ ☠️

[@The_Only_Mango]

Marques is one of the only KZbinrs that doesn't look ugly or awkward in the thumbnail.

[@ItsGeekEffect]

It's crazy that Marques was making thumbnails in GIMP! I use that for all of my thumbnails and although some things aren't accessible from PS, it's still a reliable software I'd recommend!

[@MisterSixty]

Tim's got talent! Making it all look so easy. A hunky nerd - who knew!! *Thanks for the video!*

[@deRykcihC]

Tim's thumbnails never miss, all of them feel very modern MKBHD

[@spicy_fiona]

GIMP DAYS OMG! THE INTERNAL RAGE, I FEEL FOR TIM! Graphic design buds! Just goes to show Designers are essential for amount of time and thinking behind each art. *chef's kiss!* the great designers are always so humble 21:00

[@SilencioTortilla]

Love this video, great dynamic between you 2

[@timmyisonlinemusic]

The motion graphics in these are top notch 👌

[@saramccartney5677]

I love the crackhead energy and editing when Marques says, “For a little extra pop”😂 @10:43 made me laugh so hard for no reason, made my day. Long time fan! Great video, as always! ❤

[@auny227]

This was a great video! Thumbs up for Tim 😊 Awesome job on the thumbnails!

[@ekeleopoko4550]

Great work, Tim!

[@jshooper7819]

As a graphic designer with about 15 years of experience in my career...I shared the cringe with Tim when Marques was describing his old process! Reminded me of when clients or developers would try to do my job for me back in the day. I had to learn Jedi Master level restraint! 😂 That being said, MKBHD's old thumbnails still look good despite the bootleg process.

[@edmund8411]

I'm surprised by the work that goes in to make the defining picture that actually makes or breaks ur videos. Big up to TIM. Love the work you do.

[@LeagueofJay137]

Cool to see the alternate thumbnails

[@benjaminjhuynh]

I've been waiting for this video since Andrew dropped the bomb in a podcast that marques literally edits his thumbnails in Final Cut

[@nivedh_pkt]

Oh boy more for these type of content please ❤

[@ermyril]

“Gimp is a free software for windows and Mac” A tear rolled down my eye, since it’s literally called “GNU Image manipulation program” (as in GNU/Linux OS) Huge props for using open source software btw

[@HardcastleCreatives]

I love the aesthetic of the studio thumbnails

[@mtawali13]

Roasting your boss!! We need more of this at the work place!!😂

[@RCTanksTrucks247]

Awesome work Tim!

[@jjlat2683]

Thanks guys! Love all your videos

[@JeskidoYT]

[@alexmok2]

This really makes me curious as to when certain members of the studio started working for MKBHD now that we have a timeline that the M1 iPad Pro thumbnail is Tim’s first

[@Goodbarsix]

Man I love this channel and your team!

[@michellelin6585]

Love these kinds of topic! It’s super interesting to watch!!!

[@Cabenah]

We want more of such videos, absolutely enjoyed watching!

[@iMac9991]

Love these type of videos. I was a graphic designer for a few years back in high school (for... Call of Duty sniping teams), and did my fair share of thumbnails as well. Used Photoshop of course, so hearing that Marques used Gimp really hurt my soul. I remember I took "College Web Design" in 10th grade, and we had to use Gimp... it was disgusting. I just did everything at home on Photoshop lol.

Fun video, this. So much work went into them! The soundtrack of this video makes me expect Lew is going to talk for an hour. I miss Lew Later.

[@thelonelyloner7]

Ayeeee Tim's on again

[@eagle3906]

Question! 11:13; how did you get the blank pic on the right? Is it a spare image you had lying around, or did someone remove you and add background?

[@mcmahontim]

I cut Marques out, used generative fill in Photoshop to remove him to make a fake blank slate, then added in back in later

[@eagle3906]

@@mcmahontim very. Cool. I figured it was something like that, but it just looks so gooood

[@StaticOz_]

Tim using the term gear was unexpected and cool

[@stevedoestech]

Tim good job Making graphics and thumbnails isn’t an easy job

[@ArchitHarsh]

Two thumbs up for Tim! 👍👍

[@adfjasjhf]

Would be interesting to see if you changed the old thumbnails to the new revised to see if there would be some change in views even though those are videos of older products.

[@LordOfJazz]

Tim shouldn't be mad a Marques for not learning the better programs to make thumbnails. If you think about it, he should be thanking the KZbin gods because he wouldn't have that job if he had learned.

[@mcmahontim]

Oh, no I've never been made at him for his methods. I've even praised him for using what works for him for all those years. Like if Final Cut/Gimp is what you know and that works then by all means use that. It was just a funny moment of tension to put in the video. Every day I'm thankful for this dream job. That much is never lost on me

[@LordOfJazz]

@@mcmahontim I hope my comment didn't come off as a serious one. It was a little joke. I have always admired the work you put into thumbnails. You set trends and inspire the rest. Keep up the amazing work.

[@mcmahontim]

@@LordOfJazz appreciate that! But serious or not you are right though. His endeavors and personal ambition are so strong that it’s given me this incredible career opportunity. It’s honestly insane
