KEEP ANNOTATIONS ON!!!!!!
For the time being, this tutorial is COMPLETELY OUTDATED. A fellow YouTuber named XPureMadnessX made a video which seems to be more accurate than this video. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND checking it out:

a short tut on making your own thumbnails (the image that shows up for your video) for YouTube videos, if u didnt already know. i'm using Sony Vegas 7 for the tut.
for some reason, sometimes YouTube will delay a vid for maybe a second but it can screw up wat ur thumbnail will be. if it does happen, u can try making ur thumbnail a little bit bigger when ur editing.

@amanccx That's the point. I'm trying to direct the traffic from my video to his video.

~How to choose your own Thumbnail 2011~
I've made a video just for you guys, in a easy & organized way.
Video tutorial: watch?v=Z0X2FyRl-9s
General steps are:
(1) Add timecode (timer) to buttom layer and add thumbnail at exact millisecond.
(2) Add thumbnail near the end (percent locations).
Examples & Proof: My 6 latest vids.
Everything, and more, is explained in the video (Video tutorial: watch?v=Z0X2FyRl-9s).
Thumb this comment up, as it pretty much answers 90% of the questions here.

@XPureMadnessX Hey sorry I almost never gave a response. I made a very obvious annotation in the video which should direct some of the traffic I'm getting on this video to yours.
