Making Thumbnails and Videos in Fortnite Creative

A thumbnail is a still image of your island that leaves a viewer wanting to find out more. It can be a screen capture or an illustration that includes elements from your game.

A video can be a promotional trailer, a flythrough that shows the island terrain or theme, or a round or two of play that demonstrates a game's mechanics.

For you, the developer, these are powerful ways for you to promote your game, either on your social media channels, or on Discover.

Each type of media has its own specific requirements (covered later in this document), but they all share certain elements.

When you're ready to start creating images for your island, take a look at How to Use the Replays Feature to see how it can support your video and image-capture efforts.

Whether you're making videos or still shots, here are a few points to keep in mind.

Assets and Resources
