What I'm attempting to do is create a Youtube video with an animated title, but where the first frame is used as a thumbnail for that video. This means there shouldn't be any sort of fade in on that text / overaly, or else it doesn't appear on the thumbnail. There doesn't appear to be an option for "NO FADE" in either "Fade In" or "Fade Out". Can anyone suggest a work-around for this?

Dear user,

There is no option like "No Fade". What you want to do is just leave the first frame without any text option, do you?

So you can just move the text on the timeline a bit, so the text won't be seen on the first frame (see the screenshot attached).

Please let me know if I can be of any further assistance to you.

Kind regards
