2019 mp4 file icon image

[horseman]

Is there any way to determine or change the image displayed as the file icon when sharing a video file in mp4 format? I've made several short videos from screenshots. Some use the first image as the file icon while others use the second or even third image. The time of the image in the video file doesn't seem to be a determining factor.

That's what I experienced. I had hoped this was part of the rendering process and could be chosen. That would be so nice, like choosing an image for a menu in Video Studio or for a shortcut in Windows.

The suggestion from asik1 of "Start with google" led to a way to solve my problem. Thanks asik1.

In searching, I found a variety of suggestions. The easy solution I chose was to download and use a program called Mp3tag that allows editing the metadata of a file.

Corel should add a feature for editing metadata.

I know Mp3Tag for ages and used it for all my mp3's. Never thought it is good for mp4's, maybe because I don't like/use mp4's...

** I don't see on my version where it handles mp4 thumbnails,
***Oh. I see just put a cover art image, I thought it would let you scrub thru the video.
