Connecting Titles and Thumbnails

Attach generated titles and thumbnails to your Pipeline videos

The Pipeline integrates with the Title Generator and Thumbnail Generator. Attach generated assets directly to your videos.

The Packaging Stage#

The "Packaging" stage is where titles and thumbnails come together:

  1. Video reaches Packaging stage
  2. Generate or select a title
  3. Generate or create a thumbnail
  4. Finalize and move to Scheduled

This ensures every video has polished packaging before publishing.

  2. Click "Generate Titles"

  4. Review the 10 generated options
  5. Click "Attach" on your favorite

  2. Click "Attach Title"
  3. Browse previously generated titles
  4. Select the one you want

Managing Video Assets#

Viewing Attached Assets#

On any video card or detail view, you can see:

  • Attached title (if any)
  • Attached thumbnail (preview)
  • Generation source

Changing Attachments#

To swap a title or thumbnail:

  1. Open video details
  2. Click the current attachment
  3. Choose "Replace" or "Remove"
  4. Attach the new asset

Orphan Assets#

Assets not attached to any video are "orphaned":

  • They still exist in your account
  • You can attach them later
  • They count toward storage limits

Periodically clean up unused assets to save space.

Workflow Tips#

Generate in Batches#

For efficiency:

  1. Script 5 videos
  2. Generate titles for all 5
  3. Generate thumbnails for all 5
  4. Move to production

This keeps creative work together.

Title First, Then Thumbnail#

Recommended order:

  1. Finalize your title (it affects thumbnail text)
  2. Generate thumbnail using the final title
  3. Ensure consistency between them

Keep Variations#

Don't delete unused titles immediately:

  • They might inspire future videos
  • You can A/B test later
  • Good for content repurposing

Monthly Limits#

Remember your plan's limits:

AssetFreeCreatorProTeam
Title generations8/mo50/mo200/mo1,000/mo
Thumbnail generations0100/mo500/moUnlimited

Each generation creates 10 titles or 4 thumbnail variants.
