Rise: Video Thumbnail
I am trying to upload a thumbnail to a video in my course. Where is the option for this?
In nearly all of the template instructor lead videos, we see a curated thumbnail over the video and it does not appear to be the first frame of the video. (screen shot attached)
There appears to be an icon for an image in the top left corner of the frame, but i can't figure out how this is being done. In addition to the book images and link below the frame.
How can I accomplish this look in my project?
Hello RitaCedeno! Thank you for including a screenshot! Currently, there isn't a way to add a thumbnail to a video in Rise 360. The video in the course that you're using was created by our team as a template, so there isn't a way to modify it. However, we have this logged as a feature request, so I've included your vote so we can let you know if a feature like this gets released.
I'm sorry for the confusion!

Hi, this has been a request for 7 years!! If you have the feature in your Dev.Team for Rise - please give that feature to all of us. It is a common feature in SL, Vimeo, etc - and we are many Rise users, that need the same feature for Rise videos:

We would also really like to have a solution for this. We use Camtasia and Storyline videos. Storyline videos are added with an black frame and Camtasia videos a white frame-. Both isn't nice.
Or do you have a solution for this e.g. for Storyline videos?Hi, AnnettedelaV977!
While working in Storyline, you can set the video thumbnail by right-clicking the video > Set Poster Frame > Picture from File. Currently, you can't set the thumbnail of a Storyline block in Rise, but we're tracking this request. Please let me know if you have any questions!
