Thumbnail Selection

planned

joshlpeterson@gmail.com

I can't imagine this hasn't been requested already but I'm not seeing it in my search thus far. There needs to be a way to select or upload a thumbnail for clips before sending it out to be posted all over. So many times I work on a clip and then find that the service it posted to picked a random frame of our host with his eyes half closed and mouth agape looking stupid, and it's been that way for days. Please let us upload a thumbnail to be used!

Select cover image

You must be able to select the cover image so it doen't capture the speaker at a moment they look like they are on drugs. I've tried editing, doesn't matter.

Please allow us to either upload and/or a cover image that will display on Youtube/Tiktok/Insta to the clips. This is very important for clickability

This is absolutely critical. At the moment we have to manually edit the clips across all platforms. We didn't realise we would be missing such a fundamental tool when we signed up.

Thus would be a game changer!

Really superb tool, too bad it's useless. Without this possibility of choosing a miniature, it becomes completely obsolete. Hurry up so you can let us select a thumbnail quickly.

Isn't this a copy of this Request https://opusclip.canny.io/feature-requests/p/thumbnail-selection

We have discovered a method to achieve this, at least for Instagram Reels. What we do now is upload a static image file that we want as a thumbnail and place it right at the front, with the shortest possible display time 00:00.5. We also split the clip below after one frame and remove the caption from that first frame, if there is one. This way, the first image of the video is just the uploaded clip, and that's what Instagram Reels uses as a thumbnail if no thumbnail is provided.

I hope they implement this feature soon so that it works on all platforms and more.
