Creating Message Thumbnail

  1. Take a picture of the speaker
    • This is normally done during the message but could be before or after, during typically gets a more candid shot
    • Normally one shot is taken with the speaker looking left and one looking right and the best one is chosen in Canva
  2. Open the Message Thumbnail in Canva
  3. Upload the picture
  4. Drag the picture onto the slide overtop of the video from the previous week and it should automatically remove the background
  5. Edit the picture as needed and reposition on slide
  6. Update title to message title
    • May need to resize the text to get it to fit better
  7. Update the date on the bottom of the slide
  8. Download the thumbnail with the file name in the format yyyy-mm-dd.png
  9. Upload the image to Sync in the folder <year>/Speaker Pics/Thumbnails
