Can I change a thumbnail on a video?
Hello everyone!
I’m excited to share that we've released a new Rise 360 update that includes:
- Enhanced: Upload or generate a custom video thumbnail.
There’s nothing to install for web-based apps. New features and fixes are immediately available!
Please let us know if you need any additional help!
Further to my answer from, goodness, 3 years back. I find that this is a simple workaround (and I'll keep the tools simple too):
Open PowerPoint. On Slide 1. create your poster/title frame.
On Slide 2. Place your video (remember to set the "Playback" to "Automatically"
Set the Transition on Slide 1. to "None" and set the "Advance Slide" to "After 00:00.01"
Save as "MP4" and you should now have a video that will display correctly on your course and will smoothly transition from the Title card to the video.
Here's an example of what I've outlined: https://rise.articulate.com/share/Cm6hSihs-d_tZIFPFwbzjoRLI_buflAO
