A video thumbnail is the first thing that most people see when they interact with a video. A thumbnail is also what is shown in search results.
Video thumbnail lets people see a quick snapshot of your video. After your video has finished uploading, you’ll be able to choose a thumbnail from the options generated by Cincopa.
Here’s how to change a thumbnail at any time for your Cincopa video:
Go to the Assets page and then click on Audio Settings as shown in the screenshot below.
Next click on SET THUMBNAIL
Now you can view your current thumbnail, select a different thumbnail from the video or upload an entirely new thumbnail image.
Use a video scene as a thumbnail
To select a thumbnail from the video preview on the right, click on the Image Radio button and play the video. When you find the scene which you would like to use as a thumbnail for the video, pause the video and then click on Current Frame
You will now see a preview of the video in the thumbnail once you click on the Current Frame.
You can also choose an exact time in the video that you want to use as a thumbnail. To do that, click on the video radio button and then enter the start time and end time of the scene that you wish to use as a thumbnail.
Manually upload an image as a thumbnail
You can also manually upload an image that you captured as a thumbnail to your video. To do this, click on the Image radio button and click on Upload Image
Once you make any changes to the SET THUMBNAIL option click on SAVE
