Changing the frame that appears in the thumbnails

Post by 654321 »

Is there a way to change the frame (or picture) that is in the video thumbnails? For instance, some video and swf files only show a blank screen. I would like to be able to see something in the thumbnail so I know what it is without having to play each file to find the one I am looking for.

I attached a screenshot for illustration. Some of the files show a frame of the file and others are simply blank. I would like to change the thumbnail to be able to see what it is.

Not possible I'm afraid - you get what you get.

Hi

But you can change the name of the thumbnail to a more meaningful name, that may help, click the text to edit. This does not rename the file on the hard drive only the library name.
