Thumbnail Selection

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!

Full YouTube Upload & Post Integration (When Supported by YouTube)
C
Christopher Marriott
Whenever YouTube’s API allows, I’d love to be able to build and publish a complete Short (or longform video) entirely within OpusClip — no need to switch over to YouTube Studio or the mobile app.
Right now, several key settings and tools can only be done inside YouTube, which breaks the workflow. For example:
• Add Sound (Trending Audio) – Choosing and attaching trending or saved sounds is only possible in the YouTube mobile app.
• Related Video Linking – Selecting a related video for Shorts to drive traffic to another video on your channel.
• Audience Settings – Choosing whether a video is “Made for kids.”
• Location Tagging – Adding a geographic tag for where the video was filmed or relevant location.
• Category Selection – Choosing the video’s category (Entertainment, Education, etc.).
• Thumbnail Upload or Selection – Picking a specific frame or uploading a custom thumbnail for Shorts.
• End Screens & Cards – Adding clickable links or CTAs to other videos or playlists.
• Visibility / Scheduling – Setting the video to Public, Unlisted, or Scheduled.
• Comments & Age Restrictions – Turning comments on/off and marking mature content.
Even if not all of this can be automated yet, OpusClip could prepare metadata fields for them so when YouTube’s API opens up, these settings can be passed through automatically. This would allow creators to complete an entire Shorts post inside OpusClip and eliminate the need to finish the upload manually in the YouTube app.

Select Clip Thumbnail & Spanish Ai voices

Hi there, Thumbnails are really important for any network- I feel like the schedule tool is amazing but my reels have horrible thumbnails and there is no way to change that. Also, the AI voices when used for spanish language they come out with a terrible accent. Ask any native spanish speaker within your team.

Thumbnail optimised shorts

Rez 1
Currently the platform produces many shorts, but when uploaded, the thumbnail is terrible. Klapp a competitor has a pretty consistent short design - also quality over quantity.

Hi I hope that you have a team of UI UX testers that would somehow knew or feel what your clients or editors would need.

Does marking this as complete mean it’s been resolved? If the option to pick thumbnails is not possible, could you at least update the algorithm?
People keeps asking me why I’m using thumbnails with my mouth wide open. Trying now to adjust the way I speak to avoid wide-mouth thumbnails. Not sure why AI thinks that’s the best thumbnail to use.

Thumbnail edit option
Inner Rebirth
Hi, it would be great if you allow us to edit the thumbnail photo of the clip because the thumbnail generated by Ai, cut half of the words on the thumbnail. So instead of PODCAST it only shows PODCA, and there is no option to zoom in/out to fix this. Please look into it that in built feature can be installed. Thanks!

It sounds like this still hasn't been created yet, does anyone have an update?
I'm looking to become a paid subscriber, but won't if this feature isn't available, either to select a frame from my video or upload a still image.
I tried figuring out how to do this in the demo and it wouldn't let me. The YouTube AI thumbnail maker is fine, but I need it for Reels, TikTok etc. This seems like it should be a simple feature for an advanced product like this, like how YouTube lets you upload an image as your thumbnail.
