which is going to zero in on the gap that is going to be at as low as it can go f/4 in light of the fact that the 10 to 22 focal point that is as low as it can go and afterward on top of that we're simply going to practically do ISO Auto since that will get the lighting awesome and I will go to the sign here go to the time and just put it on the selfie clock two seconds you realize ten would be fine yet it makes some long memories to stand by so it's pleasant that the m50 has this two second clock and afterward I'm going to with the flip screen here have the option to make the shot thus as it is a home office visit I will consider where am I looking I need to ensure I'm taking a gander at the focal point not the selfie screen or possibly I need to look to one side or the privilege so with regards to thumbnail is probably the greatest thing I consider is feeling a few hints on thumbnails generally individuals in the thumbnails is more grounded on YouTube tests have demonstrated that on the off chance that you see individuals'

 eyes you see feelings all over it can truly pull you in now that gets misrepresented and we've all observed those truly splendid thumbnails with insane faces however I believe there's something to it so consistently incorporate your own style so my objective here is consider where am I in the shot and consider sort of the foundation of the workplace here and afterward all I had the chance to do to begin shooting some photographs is do that two second clock it has the firm photograph on there now another tip here is shoot numerous photographs for huge recordings that are imperative to us at times we even shoot photographs in better places like possibly I need to shoot one out there here

I think this will be ideal for this specific scene furthermore on the off chance that you need to keep things basic simply having your camera set to a JPEG picture which is your most fundamental kind of picture is fine and fundamentally you will have the option to utilize the photograph directly out of the camera sure you can make some alters to it but since I have the Adobe Creative Cloud which I energetically suggest as you develop in your excursion I use Lightroom Photoshop Adobe Audition for sound and Adobe Premiere for video altering and afterward eventual outcomes if necessary for movement illustrations yet I ordinarily don't take it that far thus the entirety of that comes in the Adobe Creative Cloud in the event that you in reality just do a preliminary toss a connection to it in the depiction beneath you would i be able to think give it a shot free for a couple of days

what's cool about that however is I need to ensure I shoot in RAW and that manner if the picture is excessively dim or I need to change the white equilibrium it just gives me much greater adaptability later so that is some other setting I have it on I'm really shooting huge JPEGs and I'm shooting crude too so it says that is the huge JPEG not too far off and afterward you've additionally got crude this new one is really a Canon imaginative crude that'd be acceptable as well on the off chance that you have your Lightroom or your Photoshop refreshed again to keep it basic don't stress over this yet in the event that you need the best you know quality conceivable - I have it too crude so now let me shoot a couple various adaptations I'd prefer to presumably shoot six to twelve photographs since you can generally erase them yet once you're plunking down later to alter and you're similar to you realize

it's dull out and the lights all gone you're similar to poo I don't generally have any great alternatives I've never lamented over shooting so we should get a couple all the more right currently OK decent clean light I like it with the eyes investigating I can generally edit the picture last thing I'm going to do here as we get towards our you realize we're shooting around twelve distinctive photographs is I need to quite go rule of thirds thus when I think about shot piece there's all these decent banners here is the seat and some other mess so what I'm going to do is get my concentrate right and afterward sort of move the shot so it flaunts the workplace so essentially I'm outlining myself up behind the so much stuff I would prefer not to see I adored the cameras focal points over yonder I generally prefer to put myself as near the edge of the thumbnail as conceivable truly suspecting about the outlining and again

I wouldn't fret having choices so here we go we should simply do one last one alright so we shot our thumbnails on the m50 so now we should pop the SD card out and catch those documents OK since our documents are caught how about we glance through our choices and afterward we'll maneuver them into Photoshop as here's the full shoot I can open these up and afterward sort of navigate that one's a smidgen out of center and that is the reason it's ideal to shoot different keep in touch with you have various choices that you can experience to search for the one that you at last need to utilize I truly like this one I sort of would trim it directly through here so perhaps we'll go with that yet we should glance through these different ones and recollect by having heaps of fun nail choices you can conceivably get like that ideal feeling or outward appearance that you need I truly like the eyes looking since it focuses on possibly a few words that we can put on here so how about we go with this one it's eight to eight this crude document drag this here to Photoshop

ideal love in this photograph and now I have Camera Raw settings which again when you shoot in RAW you're going to have the option to have more sort of miniature acclimations to possibly I in reality sort of need the foundation to be somewhat more obscure in light of the fact that it's tied in with underlining you know me for a thumbnail the face truly matters eyes matter in the event that you can incorporate the eyes have those they've recently there's simply been examines done that have indicated that eyes and human countenances performed truly well in thumbnails so this photograph is looking truly incredible right with no guarantees and obviously we can do a ton of changes and things to it yet I believe we're very all set with it the manner in which this so what I'm going to do is really press ctrl J I'm utilizing a PC that copies the layer thus that I can change our canvas size and this will permit me to go to the specific thumbnail size of a 1080 thumbnail thus 1920 by 1080 is the goal on the off chance that I click here I'm going to hold move to keep up the goal while

I do this or keep up the so the picture doesn't get extended abnormal ctrl + to zoom in and this enables me to kind of change the picture within the edge that will go on YouTube and sort of got those cameras behind me I don't have a clue whether anybody would see what the are so those might those focal points may be superfluous the primary concern individuals are going to perhaps observe is this sort of cool light and OK so we have that and next thing I need to do is add some content here now the title of this video I like preparing in the event that you can explore before you press record it's going to be 10 cool Home Office plan thoughts yet I one mix-up individuals make is attempting to remember each and every word for their title and their thumbnail you needn't bother with every one of them

yet in some cases it's ideal to place a few words in your thumbnail so I'm utilizing the content apparatus and I'm going to go with one of my #1 textual styles which is Helvetica new and afterward there's bunches of specialty text styles within there so I'm going to go Helvetica new dark italic that is one of my #1 it's ideal alright so do that change that over to white you got my device bar here we should focus in on our Photoshop OK cool and one of my number one things is simply keeping it truly basic and decipherable so I'm going to drag a little square shape box now Photoshop works by layers in the lower right hand corner of your screen you can see that there are layers so cool is
