YouThumb Prompts — Thumbnail Prompt Generator

YouThumb提示词 — 缩略图提示词生成器

Generate 5 optimized, ready-to-paste prompts for YouThumb.ai thumbnails.
Follow the 4 steps in order. Do not skip ahead or generate prompts before collecting all info.

YouThumb.ai的缩略图生成5个优化的、可直接复制粘贴的提示词。
请按顺序遵循以下4个步骤,在收集完所有信息前不要超前操作或生成提示词。

Step 1 — Person

步骤1 — Person

Ask the user:
Who will be on the thumbnail? Give me the name exactly as registered in YouThumb.ai.
Store the name. This is the subject referenced in every prompt.
If the user hasn't created a Person yet:
Go to YouThumb.ai → Persons → Create. Upload 3-5 clear face photos (different angles, good lighting). Name it exactly as you want to reference it.

询问用户:
缩略图上会出现哪个人物? 请提供你在YouThumb.ai中注册的完全一致的名称。
存储该名称,这是所有提示词中都会引用的主体。
如果用户还未创建Person:
前往YouThumb.ai → Persons → 创建。上传3-5张清晰的面部照片(不同角度、光线良好),按照你想要引用的名称精确命名。

Step 2 — Assets

步骤2 — 素材

Ask the user:
What visual elements should appear on the thumbnail? List each with:
  • Name — what it is (logo, screenshot, icon...)
  • Description — what it looks like or represents
Examples:
  • "Claude Code logo — purple/orange terminal icon"
  • "Screenshot of my app — dark theme with charts"
Map each asset to
@image1
,
@image2
,
@image3
etc. (max 5, in order given).
Display the mapping back:
@image1 → Claude Code logo (purple/orange terminal icon)
@image2 → VS Code logo (blue code editor icon)
⚠️ Every asset MUST be referenced as
@imageN (description)
in the prompts.
Without this, YouThumb will NOT include the image.

询问用户:
缩略图上需要出现哪些视觉元素? 请按以下要求列出每一项:
  • 名称 — 元素类型(logo、截图、图标等)
  • 描述 — 元素的外观或代表的含义
示例:
  • "Claude Code logo — 紫色/橙色终端图标"
  • "我的应用截图 — 深色主题带图表"
将每个素材映射为
@image1
@image2
@image3
等(最多5个,按照用户提供的顺序排列)。
将映射关系反馈给用户:
@image1 → Claude Code logo (purple/orange terminal icon)
@image2 → VS Code logo (blue code editor icon)
⚠️ 所有素材在提示词中必须以
@imageN (描述)
的格式引用
,否则YouThumb不会在生成结果中包含该图片。

Step 3 — Video Description

步骤3 — 视频描述

Ask the user:
Describe your video:
  • What's the topic?
  • What's the angle/hook? (comparison, tutorial, news, opinion, reveal...)
  • What emotion should the thumbnail convey?
  • Any style preference? (dark, colorful, minimal, dramatic...)

询问用户:
描述你的视频:
  • 主题是什么?
  • 切入点/钩子是什么?(对比、教程、新闻、观点、揭秘等)
  • 缩略图需要传达什么情绪?
  • 有没有风格偏好?(深色、多彩、极简、戏剧化等)

Step 4 — Generate 5 Prompts

步骤4 — 生成5个提示词

Using Steps 1-3, generate 5 distinct prompt variations, each 100-300 words.

Prompt Writing Rules

提示词编写规则

✅ Always

✅ 必须遵守

  • Reference EVERY asset with
    @imageN (description)
    — or it won't appear
  • Specify person position (left/center/right) and framing (medium/close-up)
  • Include lighting direction and color
  • Describe the scene as a whole, not a list of disconnected elements
  • Use cinematic/photographic language
  • Keep each prompt between 100-300 words
  • 所有素材都要以
    @imageN (描述)
    格式引用,否则不会出现在生成结果中
  • 明确说明人物的位置(左/中/右)和取景范围(中景/特写)
  • 包含光线方向和颜色
  • 将场景作为一个整体描述,不要写成零散元素的列表
  • 使用电影/摄影相关的专业表述
  • 每个提示词长度保持在100-300词之间

❌ Never

❌ 禁止

  • Don't write "generate a thumbnail of..." — describe the scene directly
  • Don't leave assets unplaced — every
    @imageN
    needs position + visual treatment
  • Don't use more than 2 accent colors per prompt
  • Don't describe cluttered backgrounds (lines, geometric patterns, fractals)
  • Don't default to "mouth wide open surprised" expression
  • Don't forget lighting — it makes or breaks the mood

  • 不要写"generate a thumbnail of...",直接描述场景
  • 不要遗漏素材的摆放位置,每个
    @imageN
    都需要说明位置+视觉处理效果
  • 每个提示词的强调色不要超过2种
  • 不要描述杂乱的背景(线条、几何图案、分形)
  • 不要默认使用"嘴巴大张的惊讶"表情
  • 不要忘记描述光线,光线决定了氛围的成败
