What Is a Video Game Tier List

Well, a video game tier list or a tier list is a ranking sheet that allows you to place a group of game characters or names of the gameplay on multiple levels or layers, from your favorite ones to the least favorites. Learn to a gaming video for YouTube channel.

A typical video game tier list

To rank your video game tier list, different alphabets, such as S,A,B,C,D,E, etc. are used to label each video game tier. Here, “S” means super, while “A,B,C,D,E..” are simply ranked in descending order.

Of course, it’s not categorically. You can come up with something original. For example, you can rank your tier list with any titles you like, such as “Amazing”, “ Great”, “Good”, “It’s, ok”, etc., and the list goes on.

Normally, a video game tier list is created as an image or a chart by Photoshop or other online tier list makers. However, it’s not as engaging as a tier list video that can be blended in your YouTube videos or used as video footage for gameplay live streaming.

As you enter the FlexClip video editor, adjust the “Video Duration” or length of your video game tier list needed. Let’s say 10 secs.

Adjust the video duration for the tier list

Go to the “Text” tab on the left menu, select “Title” > customize the texts and style. All the fonts, color schemes, and text styles and motion, position, layers, are fully customizable. For subscribed users, you can even upload your fonts.

Add a title to your video game tier list

Head to the “Elements” tab on the left > scroll down to open all the selections of “Shape” > left-click the first “blue square shape” to add it on the storyboard > drag and drop this blue shape to make it a rectangle level > click on the color icon above to change its color to mid-grey > add another “ blue square shape” to the left of the tier and adjust its position and change it to the color you like.

Use shape elements to create a single-tier and adjust its color

Next, you can drag to select these two elements and use the “Group” tool to stick them together. Then, right-click to copy and paste another tier and keep doing this to create many tiers needed and adjust the color of the head of the tier.

Duplicate multiple tiers

Then, you can add an alphabet to name each tier or use any texts you like to name it. Likewise, after you’ve done one tier’s name, you can copy and paste to create the rest tiers.

Use an alphabet to name each tier and select a color for each tier as well

Go to the “Photo” tab > select “GIF”> enter keywords “video game transparent” > add game character to each tier and adjust its size and position > click the “Clock” icon on the top right corner > drag this character to the right to match the video length. Then, repeat the same move for all the other game characters.

Add GIF or image game characters to each tier
