Is it possible to upload a thumbnail to a video in Rise 360?
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!
I found a work around, that worked for me.
- I basically uploaded my video to Canva.
- Took a screenshot of the first frame and uploaded that as well.
- Then place the screenshot before the video on the timeline.
- I made the screenshot 0.2 instead of 1.0 seconds long.
- I added a transition (Flow) between the two to make it smooth.
- I also removed the black screen that appears before the video starts.
- It transitioned very nicely.
I downloaded the video to my device and uploaded it to Rise360 and the screenshot showed as my thumbnail/video cover.
Hope this helps.
Hi Shimell!
Thanks for sharing that workaround with the community! I'm sure other users discovering this thread will find the steps very useful.
Have a great rest of your week!
Thanks for sharing this. This is essentially the same workaround which could be done using Camtasia. However, I would really appreciate if I did not have to use some external tool for some basic step like that. Maybe this feature could be added in the future? It looks much more professional if the video shows some related thumbnail before starting it.
