Excellent.
"To me, this is just a no-brainer.
The thumbnails are REALLY good, meaning: they are ACTUALLY usable! The Al does a good job of picking out my faces from the video and using that to create an engaging thumbnail. Lastly, the customer support is incredible and lightning fast. I am impressed, and thankful."

"Wow! What a time saver.
If you make videos on YouTube, then this tool is a no-brainer. It's hard to imagine life without it now after using it for a couple of weeks. It gives 2 phenomenal thumbnails in one go. This immensely speeds up the uploading process which can be the most annoying part of youtube.
