[00:00:00] Speaker 1: Did you know that MrBeast changes the thumbnails of his videos dozens of times per month? His team creates over 50 thumbnail variations per video, and they keep testing even after it's published. Because the thumbnail is the first thing people see. It decides whether they click or keep scrolling. MrBeast's click-through rate is 13%, where the industry average is just 4%. The good news is you don't have to test 50 thumbnail versions to get it right. Now with Riverside, you can make MrBeast-level thumbnails in minutes with no design skills. You can pick a style from a template gallery to instantly set the vibe. And if your brand colors are already saved in Riverside, your thumbnails automatically match them. Otherwise, you still get solid defaults. It also gives you three tagline title options to choose from, or you can type your own text so the thumbnail says exactly what you want. And if you prefer the previous thumbnail style, it's still available. Bottom line, you get more control and more consistency without adding more work.
