How to get more clicks to your DTube video - Use a free overlay to motivate poeple to click it.
Hey Steeminans and video lover,
today I saw that many people don't understand that you can so easily start a video on DTube by just clicking the first picture (Snap)
You create this Snap at the moment you upload the video. But why not adding the visual information that here is something to click.
A tribute to DTube and a nice Play Button for your DTube Video
or
would look a lot more cool.
The Transparent overlays
So therefore I created some transparent overlays and you are very welcome to download and reuse this for your videos. Feel free to give a little credit to @detlev in your video credit section.
1 - DTube Play Overlay Transparent
To get this images, just right click on the overlay you like and download the picture for your usage.
2 - DTube Play Button Overlay Transparent
3 - DTube Play Button Overlay Transparent
4 - DTube Play Button with white Text Overlay Transparent
How to merge the images
There are two ways to do it
1 - Change the Snap while uploading your DTube video
Choose any picture editing program which works with layers like Photoshop and add the transparent template to your image. Than uplpad this to DTube.
2 - Change the image in your DTube video link
If you already uploaded your video to DTube you get a nice link to integrate this into your post. It might look like this one.

Now change the URL for the Snap image to the URL of your new Image with the overlay

I will do a way more detailed post the next days about this.
But here you see how it looks like

Thank you! Yes, this overlay definitely makes sense and I was thinking the same thing 😃
thanks for that! I think we will try it on our next vidéo!
My pleasure. Let me know how it will change click rate.
Vielen Dank für den Workaround. Werde es ausprobieren, aber so aus dem Stand gehe ich auch davon aus, dass die Klickrate steigen wird.
Genau deshalb habe ich das gebaut.
Lass mich wissen, wenn Du Abänderungen an den Templates brauchst.
Thanks for the image over @detlev, I've used it today and just remembered to give you a mention at the foot of the post. Cheers!
