|
+## Tips
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+1. Test two variants with your audience.
|
|
|
+2. Avoid misleading imagery; match the video content.
|
|
|
+3. Focus on one subject and one emotion per thumbnail.
|
|
|
+4. Generate exaggerated, high-contrast compositions that read at small size.
|
|
|

|
|

|
|
|
+## Responsible use
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+Check generated images for errors before publishing, do not imitate real people without consent, and label AI-generated images where your audience expects it.
