Can I change a thumbnail on a video?
Right now it is showing a black screen, is there a way to add a thumbnail image from my video as the cover instead of a black screen?

I'm looking for an update on this functionality request. Are we still waiting for the ability to add a thumbnail to a video so that a black screen is not displayed?
We need the ability to either upload or choose a thumbnail from somewhere in the video. That or allow for embedding the video from somewhere like Wistia or Vimeo where we have already chosen a thumbnail!
Has there been any update on this at all ?
I have tried all of the suggestions to get a preview image to show instead of the black screen when I upload a video. The sample content for Articulate Rise courses shows a preview image. How can I get it to look like that?
+1 for this functionality to be added.
Bump please add this feature to Rise, having to add a video to another program for what is pretty standard functionality seems silly.
I can only repeat that I assume they're involved in "bigger things" and tidying up what must be a host of detailed requests seems not to be a priority.
It's their train set so they can do as they wish, but knocking off some of the simpler/older/most-requested ones wouldn't be a bad idea.
I am a new customer and have just advocated for my company to start using Articulate. I have to say, I am starting to get worried by the number of basic features I've been seeing on the community boards that have been requested more than 3 years ago and still no update. Does the product development team at Articulate take user feedback and requests seriously?
This is another necessary feature to which I add my name on the request list.
You are wise to be worried. Get used to seeing basic requests that are six years old or worse. The Articulate team seems to hold their "road map" as some sort of bible for development focus. The road map contains little focus on improving existing functionality, no matter how basic the features. If it's not on the road map, it doesn't happen, and the road map only goes forward.
Get used to workarounds for simple stuff.

I guess there are so many requests for new features that the developers find it difficult to know where to start. But I'd suggest actually MAKING a start by clearing up some of these things.
If they're involved in "bigger things" then they're missing a trick, because so many of these would take little work to fix, and make the interface SO much more flexible and user-friendly.
Articulate's support team is good, but a responsive development team would enhance the offering a whole lot more.
It's been almost three years since we've asked for this functionality. Any progress on this Articulate? Sort of disappointing.
