Make the cover explain why the video matters.
Create an original thumbnail with Sceneform's image generator. Build the composition around one subject and one clear idea. Use reference images when a recognizable person or product connects the cover to your video.

What you can create
Give the subject room
Ask for a composition that keeps the main subject clear at small sizes. Avoid packing every part of the video into one cover.
Plan space for the headline
Describe where the subject and text should sit. Keep the headline short and inspect any generated lettering before you publish.
Use a recognizable reference
Compatible models accept image references for a person or product. Keep the cover accurate to what viewers will find in the video.
From your idea to finished content
Choose the thumbnail's main idea
Write down the video's central question or result. Pick one subject that communicates that idea without requiring a long explanation.
Generate the composition
Choose an image model and a suitable landscape format. Describe the subject, background, color contrast, and headline placement.
Review it at a small size
Check that the subject stays recognizable and any text remains readable. Confirm the cover accurately represents the video before uploading it.
