Section 10: Video Subject: Video thumbnails Msg# 819009

When I go the Video section and click on "Change video thumb" it simply instructs me to click on "Browse" which gives me my desktop!
In order to add a thumbnail to display with the vide you need to first have that thumbnail ON YOUR COMPUTER. So, you need to create a thumbnail or find an image on the web to use and then save it to your computer. In YouTube, for example, before you actually play a video you can right click on the video image displayed there and save to your computer. Then when you use the "browse" button you find that file on your desktop, or wherever you saved it. No need to worry about image dimensions as the system will automatically size the image to a thumbnail when you click submit. Nearly every image you see on the internet can be saved to your computer by right-clicking on the image and selecting "Save picture as." |

For reference, the above message is a reply to a message where: Need assistance please. I figured out how to post the videos but not how to get a relevant thumbnail. When I go the Video section and click on "Change video thumb" it simply instructs me to click on "Browse" which gives me my desktop! How do I get say the first screenshot of the video to be the thumbnail? |
