Feature Request: Custom Thumbnail or Caption Overlay for Scheduled Shorts

Hi Opus Clip team,
First of all, thank you for creating such a powerful and time-saving tool. I've really enjoyed using Opus Clip for repurposing my content and scheduling my shorts.
I wanted to suggest a feature that I—and many other creators—would find incredibly valuable: the ability to edit or add custom thumbnails for shorts/videos that are uploaded via the Opus Clip scheduler.
As you probably know, YouTube doesn’t allow manual thumbnail changes for shorts when scheduled via third-party tools, which makes it difficult to control how they appear visually in the feed. This significantly affects engagement, since an eye-catching thumbnail (even just a simple text caption over the video image) can dramatically improve views.
Even adding an option to overlay a short title or bold caption over the preview frame would make a huge difference. It helps give more relevance and context to the short, especially when it’s competing with so much content in a fast-scrolling environment.
I know a lot of creators would benefit from this - just a small addition with a big impact.
Thanks again for all the amazing work you're doing!
Warm regards,
GodlySharing Team
