Beginning a Animal Jam YouTube channel? Still new to editing, or making thumbnails?

You've come to the right place!

 What  editor(s) should I use?

It depends on what device you have. If you have a android or apple mobile device you're in luck! There are many editors for these devices, there are also good editors for PC users, I personally don't edit on a PC so I'm currently not aware of how good they are or how many there are (there are probably lots!).

Now, I will start with what editors I have used. TBC.
 * 1) Kinemaster ~   pros: It's on both Android and Apple devices! It's also a really good beginner editing app, as it is easy to use and learn how to use, you can also use it for free!  - Cons: It is free to use but you do have to pay for the full version if you don't want a watermark on your videos. Another con, it's not a one-time payment.
 * 2) Imovie ~  Pros: Imovie is also a good beginner editing app, it is easy to use as-well! - Cons: Only available for apple devices, very basic and sometimes doesn't work when using pictures.
 * 3) Videostar~ Pros: Very good editor, you can use it to make professional-like edits and very nice intros as-well! - Cons: unfortunately it does cost money, and it is not a one time payment and you don't  have to pay again. A pro to the costing money is it's very cheap, costing only 25$ for a whole year! (that's how much it was when I got it).

What app(s) should I use for making Thumbnails?

When I make thumbnails I usually use a combination of apps, but the primary one you need is PicArt. When I make a thumbnail, I usually use these apps, PicsArt, sometimes Phonto, and most of the time Video star. I use PicsArt to make the base of the thumbnail, I use Phonto for the text sometimes because you unfortunately can't curve text on PicsArt (not that I know of) and Video star for streaks.

The order I use the apps in
 * 1) PicsArt ~ base background, text (sometimes), pictures
 * 2) Phonto  ~ text (if I decide to have custom fonts or curved text, I also once in a while use video star for text you can use custom text, but you can't curve it)
 * 3) PicsArt ~ effects, border
 * 4) Video star ~ streaks (usually white streaks)

TBC (maybe)
