About Red Arrow

Red Arrow is a thumbnail for mystery, travel and fail videos about one small thing in a big picture. A vivid scene fills the frame, a fat red arrow cuts across it and a red circle rings the detail that matters. The eye follows the arrow, and a detail that is hard to make out earns the click.

Use it when the video turns on something easy to miss. Type a title of up to 20 characters and describe the detail, so the arrow points at something real. The scene is drawn for you, so this one takes no photo. With words off, the arrow and circle carry it alone. Red Arrow is made in both 16:9 for YouTube and 9:16 for Shorts, Reels and TikTok.

Tip: phrase the title as a question the circle half answers, like "Did you see it?", rather than naming what is inside it.
