1. Thumbnail trailer: Hello, everyone. In this particular lecture series, I will teach you that how can you generate high quality thumbnail with the help of hGPTO or any other AI tool. If you are a content creator, then this course will help you a lot. From now, you don't need to spend too much time to create high quality thumbnail. Just you need to know some basic prompt engineering skill, and on the basis of that, you can easily generate your desired thumbnail. I have covered everything in a very systematic manner so that anyone can learn it very easily. And the best part of the course is you don't need to know any technical thing or graphic designing skill. Just you have to think what you want to create and you have to simply express it. In the modern age, if you can automate your work with the help of AI, but you are doing your work manually, then I will say you are wasting your time. From now, you don't need to spend too much time on creating thumbnail. This kind of little bit work can be automated very easily, don't miss it. I will see you in the lecture. 2. How to Create your first image: Hello, everyone. So welcome to all of you in my full master series. In this particular lecture series, we will learn that how can we generate high quality thumbnail with the help of AI tools. So without wasting any time, let's start our lecture. Okay. So first of all, you have to open HAGPT. And since this is a very basic lecture, that's why here we will learn how can we generate any kind of thumbnail very quickly? Okay. And after that, I will teach you advanced thing in the next lecture. Okay. So let's type here, create create image for UI, UX, and hit the Enter button. So on the basis of that prompt, we got simple thumbnail. Okay. But you should notice that here we haven't provided any kind of art style, any design idea, any color, any filter. Here we haven't provided anything. That's why we are getting very random result. Okay. And also if you will notice that thumbnails should have aspect ratio of 16 ratio nine, right? But this is one ratio one. Let's copy same prompt and paste it again. And let's see what it will create again as compared to this so whenever you have to create anything from the Cha GPT or any AI tool, your prompt should be more descriptive. It should contain aspect ratio. Okay, it should contain art, style, color, actors, everything. So your prompt should contain everything. You can type your prompt manually or you can generate prompt with the help of Char JBT too. So again, we are getting same results. So now let's change the aspect ratio of our thumbnail. Me aspect ratio 16 ratio nine, which is landscape. And we will learn advanced thing from the next video. So don't worry about that. Okay. We will learn advanced thing from the next video. This is a very basic lecture that's why here I'm telling you about some basic concept related to prompt engineering and image creation. Okay. So finally, it has created same image while maintaining its consistency, and it has converted our design into the 16 ratio nine aspect ratio. Okay? So this is very awesome. Now let's try some random stuff. Make this terminal like Simpson. Cartoon. Okay, so let's see what will happen. And here you will notice that I have specified art style. So Simpson is a cartoon, and it has own art form. Every cartoon has own art form, so Simpson has own art form. So let's see it will create Simpson art or not. So finally, here we got Simpson Thumbnail for UIUX design. Okay, so this is how you can create very basic thumbnail. So if you have to create really very cool thumbnail, then you have to type your prompt very briefly. Okay, here we have generated some random thumbnail on the basis of small prompt. But this lecture was very basic. It is for sewing you capability of AI tool. So either you can type your own prompt or you can generate prompt with the help of GPT too. Okay. So if you have a good prompt engineering sense, then you can type prompt in a very descriptive way. If you are writing your own prompt, then it should be like this. Suppose if I have to generate video editing thumbnail, then prompt should be like create a high detailed dynamic realistic YouTube thumbnail for professional video editing course, a confident content creator with round face and then here is seated at Odends, you can pause this video and you can read this. And here I have specified that it should not contain text, and it should have aspect ratio of 16 ratio nine. Okay, so you have to type your prompt manually. But if you are not able to type your prompt very briefly, then don't worry about that. In the next lecture, I will show you how can you generate your own prompt with the help of hat GPT so that you can generate attractive thumbnail. Okay, so in the next lecture, we will learn how can we generate our own prompt. Okay. So I will see you in the next lecture, and if you like this lecture, then please give me a good positive rating and comment. Okay, bye bye. 3. How to Create Custom Prompt for your Thumbnail : Hello, everyone. So welcome to all of you in my full master series. In this particular lecture, I will teach you that how can you generate your own prompt with the help of hGPT so that you can create high quality thumbnail. Okay, in previous video, I have already told you that you can create your own prompt manually, right? So you have both the option. You can create it manually or you can create it with the help of CHGPT. Okay, so this prompt is created by me. So let's look at the prompt. Suppose if you have to create prompt for video editing thumbnail, then it should be like this. Okay, create a high detailed, create a high detailed dynamic, realistic YouTube thumbnail for professional video editing course. Okay, so your purpose should be clear in first line. Okay, then we are talking about actor in our thumbnail. A confident content creator with round face and dense here is seated at modern desk. So this is our actor. Okay, so if you are able to imagine that, uh, how your thumbnails would look like. Then you can specify each thing content creator is seated at modern desk. And finally, we have type here, not text because I don't want that thumbnail suit contain text. Also I have specified 16 ratio nine aspect ratio. If you have to create your prompt manually, then you have to type like this. You have to specify each thing in a very detailed manner. So if you will type it manually, then let's see which kind of result you will get. So finally, here we have a final output, so you can see the quality of output. Okay. And we can easily replace this phase with our own phase. Okay, so we will discuss each thing from the next lecture. Okay. Um, so if you have to create your prompt manually, then you can create like this. But if you are not able to create your own prompt, then let's see how can you create your own prompt. Okay, so you have to type like this. Suppose you have to create prompt for video editing course. Okay. So here you have to type create prompt for dash, create prompt for my video editing course aspect ratio, 16 ratio nine and no text. So basically the thing is you have to specify core thing. Ce thing means video editing course thumbnail aspect ratio, and it should not contain any text. Okay, let's hit the enter. So finally, we have a prompt for our thumbnail, okay? So in the next tab of ha GPT, I will paste this prompt and let's hit the Enter button. Okay. So it will take some time. So now let's type here, create prompt for UI, UX design. Course, hit the enter button. So prompt have been generated successfully. Now we will copy this. Now, let's wait for previous design. This is a final result. Now, let's paste our new prompt for UIUX design thumbnail. Let's see what will happen now. So this is a final output of our prompt. Create prompt for AO master class lecture series, and hit the enter button. So this is a prompt for our ACO lecture series. Let's copy this and paste it in chat GPT. Finally, we have a final output on the basis of our prompt, and it is looking so awesome. You can see the quality of image. So this is how you can create high quality thumbnail. Okay. And in the next video, we will learn that, how can we generate more realistic thumbnail like this? This is my face. Okay, so we are increasing our course level gradually. Okay. I will see you in the next lecture. So if you like this lecture, then don't forget to give me a good positive rating and comment. Okay, bye bye. 4. Create image with Custom Prompt: Hey, Hello, everyone. So welcome to all of you in my full master series. In this particular lecture, I will teach you that how can you generate thumbnail with the help of custom prompt, which you have learned previously. Okay, so let's start our lecture. First of all, let's create some basic prompts. Create prompt for video editing, course thumbnail. Okay. No text. I should have aspect ratio, 16 ratio nine, 16 ratio nine hit the enter butt. So this is a high detailed prompt for video editing. Similarly, let's generate prompt for UIUX design course. Finally, we have created prompt for UIUX design course. Now Chat JPT have been trained successfully, so we don't need to explain everything again and again. That's why here we will type similarly for I'm typing similarly because Chat JBT has been trained successfully. That's why here I'm typing similarly for D fake AI course. Hit the enter buttom. It has generated successfully. Okay. Now let's create again. Similarly for guitar course. Hit the enter button. This is a prompt for guitar course. Okay. And you can read this. Here I'm giving you one of the most important tip for using HGPT. Okay. Hence, your HGPT have been trained successfully. That's why here we don't need to explain everything again and again. Okay, so for last time, let's type here. I will give you only topic name on the basis of that topic. On the basis of that topic, generate similar results. Hit the enter button. Perfect. Just drop the topic name and I'll generate highly demand thumbnail prompt, 16 ratio nine, no text, just like the previous one. So now we don't need to explain everything again and again. From now, we can type only topic name and it will generate thumbnail. Graphic designing course hit the enter button, so it has generated prompt for me, takes two image generator master course. Can pause this video and you can read this Figma, UIUX design Master Class. Hit the enter button. So now let's generate each image one by one. Okay. So first of all, let's copy first prompt, which was for video editing. So let's copy, and I have opened Chair JPT in you tab. Let's paste it and hit the enter button, and let's see what will happen. And you don't have to forget to type here, create image, create image, create dies and paste your prom, hit the enter but if you will not type create image, then it will not create any kind of image for you. So you don't have to miss it. You have to type, create image before you prompt. So this is a final output. Let's let's copy another prompt, paste it here, create image dies this is a design for UIUX course. Let's copy another prompt. Let's copy another prompt. And it is for Deep S AI course. So let's paste it and hit the enter button 1 minute, 1 minute. Create image. Dash, hit the enter. And this is a result for deep seek AI course thumbnail. Let's copy prompt for guitar Ultimate course and paste it here. Create image, create image, dash, paste, hit the enter button. So finally, we have awesome thumbnail for guitar ultimate master course. Let's copy prompt for graphic designing master class. Let's paste it, hit the enter button. So this is a awesome thumbnail for graphic design but if you will notice one thing, which is that there is no consistency in our all thumbnail because we haven't provided any extra detail related to its artwork. If you will notice all the image that we have generated recently, each image has its own unique art form, but it is not consistent because we haven't provided art form. You can type your prompt like make it more realistic. So here we go here we got graphics design thumbnail, but it is looking like a little wit cartoonist. Now what I will do, I will copy same prompt, paste it here. Make realistic, make it realistic. Now it is looking realistic. Now we have a specified. Our thumbnail should look realistic. It should not look like cartoonist. Okay, so you have to specify what you want. Okay, our content creator is looking towards his desk, but if you want that, he should look towards the camera, then you have to specify same thing. Let's copy, same prompt. Let's copy SM prompt. Or instead of that, we can edit this message. So let's edit this message. And he should look towards the camera, hit the enter button and it will generate it again. If you will notice that we are gradually increasing our course level. You have to type your prompt very specifically. Basically, you have to explain each thing in very detailed manner what you want. If you will not specify color, art form, or your prompt, then hatGPT will generate random results. So to avoid random results, you have to make sure that you have specified each thing in very detailed manner. So now, finally, our content creator is looking towards the camera. From the next time, from the next time you have to make ultra realistic thumbnail and content creator. Is looking towards the camera, looking towards the camera, hit the under button. Now finally, we have trained ChargeP to do some specific work. From this time, it will not generate any random stuff. It will generate only realistic image and in which content creator is looking towards the camera. This is a two thing which is a constraint for our work. Now let's copy another prompt Figma UIUX design course and let's paste it hit the under button. Now he's looking towards the camera. In the next lecture, I will teach you that how can you merge two images? Like you can add this actor, you can add your own self in any thumbnail. Okay, so that you can generate this kind of awesome image. Okay, so without wasting any time, we will learn everything. If you like this lecture, then don't forget to give me good positive rating and comment. Okay, so okay, bye bye. I will see you in the next lecture. 5.

Let's hit the Enter button. So now, image have been generated successfully. But if you will notice that it is not looking like me. Okay, so that's why here we have to replace this face with our original one. Okay. So in this particular video, we will create many image like this, and in the next video, we will replace our face. Okay, now you will think about that why we have attached our reference image phase. We have attached reference image phase because it has followed our pace structure. Obviously, it is not looking like me, okay? But it has followed my face structure. So whenever I will swap the face, it will fit on this structure. That's why here we have used our reference. Using the same pace, I have to create another thumbnail. Okay? And in the next lecture, I will show you how to swap the face, which means how to replace the face. Okay.

Now I have to create thumbnail for UIX design, so I need a prompt, obviously, so I will not type it from the beginning. Let's copy this prompt and here I have pasted in Cher JPT. This is a video editing prompt, but here you will notice that make this prompt for UIUX design, which means it will replace all the element of video editing with the UIUX design. Okay, so I don't need to create my prompt from the beginning. Okay. So it has generated highly detailed prompt for UIUX design. Similarly, like video editing code. So let's copy this prompt. Let's copy and paste it here at the enter button. So it has generated highly detailed thumbnail for UIUX design. And again, this pace is not looking like me, so don't worry about that. I will replace this phase in the next lecture. Okay. And here, if you will notice that it has smartly added our background reference image. Has smartly added.
