So there's no cost for any of the things that we're gonna talk about today or any other videos in this video I'm using hit film express and I've got some gameplay footage and I'm gonna show you how to do this So the first step you want to load up hit film express like I have done here And then you can just go to file new and then just hit on okay You don't have to change any of these things will change those later I click on okay, and you get a blank canvas just like that I'm gonna move from export because I just finished the export to viewer and here we go This is what you should be seeing now carrying on the next step is I've got some footage that I want to use So I'm gonna go to my videos and I just played God of War for example So I'm gonna left click on God of War double click on it And then I'm gonna select this footage and I'm gonna drag and drop it into my media folder over here So we're into my media window part of me now from there you're gonna see here I've got some footage and it's grubbable I'm gonna left click on it and drag it and drop it into my timeline I'm also making sure that if the asks you to change the sequence settings, and it probably will just left click on yes Now the next step here is I'm gonna go up to the playhead here This is the playhead, and I'm just gonna scrub through it And I'm gonna scrub and I'm gonna look for an image that I particularly like any image. Let's say I like Okay, I like the image of him maybe chopping the tree down. What do you think okay? Yeah, let's say let's go with this image here Whatever we got this kid opening a door again the image doesn't really matter It's the technique the next step and this is the important one is I'm gonna go up here to the viewer Window and you're gonna see here export frame when I left click on this you get some options But what it basically is doing is it's exporting this image so we can isolate this image and use it in our thumbnails So we can use that in Photoshop or whatever you use to create a thumbnail So here we go real quick look through select folder. I'm gonna save it to my pictures. Sure. We'll save it to my pictures folder I'm not gonna overwrite it the name of the doesn't matter the format you might see PNG default selected I like to use JPEG, but they don't really matter and then I'm gonna left-click on okay What I do that you're gonna see on the left side here that we've brought in the image into the Into the media folder here on the left side, but more importantly we exported it to the pictures So when I go to my pictures folder here, I'm gonna left-click on pictures and there you go You're gonna see I've got a picture of him holding the tree from a different video And then I've got a picture of that kid doing his thing That's how you isolate the image that you want to use for your gameplay footage now I create my thumbnails in Photoshop, but it doesn't matter Whatever you use what I would do if you want to see the next step is I take left-click on it And then I just drag it and then bang I've got that image and if I turned off all the other stuff you would see here If I move it over here that there it is the kid with the tattoo holding on to the door That's how you do it guys inside hit film express free software free tools everything's free Free that's gonna teach you how to become the best youtuber you know This is big C checking out ton more stuff coming up.
