Upload a Custom Thumbnail for a Video
Thumbnails provide a quick snapshot of what your video contains. When a video is uploaded, Rev automatically generates a thumbnail image for you.
Keep in mind:
The auto-generated thumbnail is the default thumbnail for the video.
If a new thumbnail image is uploaded, the auto-generated thumbnail is discarded and may not be recovered.
Use the Video Settings button on the Video Player form to upload a custom thumbnail for the video.
