Bring your sketches to life with Video Thumbnails! You can record a video thumbnail just like how you’d capture a static one:

For existing sketches:

  1. Click the (i)nfo icon on your sketch.

  2. Choose Edit.

  3. Click on the current thumbnail to open the capture screen.

For new sketches:

  1. Click Save.

  2. Choose Thumbnail to access the capture screen.

Once you’re in the capture screen, you’ll see options to either capture a screenshot or record a video.

  • Click the video icon or press Meta + R to start/stop recording.

  • The recording will stop automatically after 3 seconds.

Things to Know

  • You can have up to 12 video thumbnails. Once you hit the limit, new recordings will automatically replace the oldest one.

  • We recommend choosing your best or most dynamic sketches for these video thumbnails to make the most impact!

Join Plus+ to unlock video thumbnails and other powerful features!


🚀 For Best Results

  • Record your sketch with a minimum canvas size 800x800.

  • If you want a nice loop, adjust your sketch to loop in 3 seconds.

❌ If You Cancel Your Membership?

  • All video thumbnails will be removed.

  • Sketches will use static thumbnails instead, automatically captured during the recording process.

⚠️ Safari Users

Safari can be a little glitchy when displaying multiple video thumbnails at once. For best results, consider using Chrome or Firefox when browsing the website.
