Wala akong background sa disenyo kaya kinabahan ako sa umpisa, pero sobrang dali palang gumawa ng video cover sa Canva. Ang lupit ng part tungkol sa paggamit ng AI generation para sa background na pumapatok sa mata. Natutunan ko rin kung paano pumili ng kulay at font na agad nakakahatak ng pindot. Tumaas talaga ang clicks ko sa mga bagong video ko. Sana lang mas marami pang halimbawa ng iba't ibang istilo, pero malaking tulong na ito.

Meine Klickrate ist spürbar gestiegen, seit ich Thumbnails mit Canva und den KI-Tools so gestalte wie hier gezeigt!
