What is the best thumbnail size for House music videos?

YouTube recommends 1280x720 pixels (16:9) for video thumbnails. AetherWave generates Square (1:1) art perfect for centered thumbnails, and Portrait (9:16) for YouTube Shorts. Both work great for House music video thumbnails.

YouTube Thumbnail Best Practices for House Music

Great house thumbnails share these qualities:

High contrast - Bold colors and strong light/dark separation so the image pops at 120px wide
Single focal point - One clear subject, not a busy collage
Genre-authentic visuals - dancefloor lights, turntables, sunrise after-parties - viewers should instantly recognize the house vibe
Clean composition - Leave space for YouTube's timestamp overlay in the bottom-right

When using the AI generator, try prompts like "House music atmosphere, professional artwork" to get thumbnails that feel authentic to house while being visually striking at small sizes.
