I've just submitted a support case for this function as it was a real pain having to add an image to all my videos and then had to export them again and then re-insert them back in the Rise course. I would have thought this would be a normal feature of adding videos. It will be interesting to hear what Articulate comes back with as this has been an issue for over 2-3 years now. At least I know for next time when I create the videos :)
You can in Storyline set a poster frame (right-click on the video) BUT not in Rise. I am using Rise and need to have something other than a white or black frame for the poster frame. I ended up adding an image to the first 10 frames of the video and then re-exported it out to insert into Rise. The way I did it worked but not everyone has video editing software and time to add images into their videos :)
This is really irritating ... adding a "phantom" image to the start of a video is really time consuming, and anyway, I sometimes use thumbnails that aren't part of the video. No-one is asking you to become a YouTube, but this is just SO simple.
The default could remain as the opening shot of the video, with an option to override it with another image.
A thumbnail feature needs to be added please. We get good workflow features in other aspects of Rise and then the lack of video thumbnail/poster functionality negates some of them.
Hi there - I have a video in Replay 360, with an image at the start, and when publishing to MP4 it still randomly selects a part of the video like 5 mins in as the thumbnail... any ideas?
Hi Maribeth! That sounds like something we'll want to take a closer look at. Please send us a copy of your Replay 360 file by opening a case, and we'll let you know what we find!
Has anyone figured this out yet? Seems simple and NECESSARY! I cannot have my team make two versions of every video - one with fade in from white for one purpose and another for a ecourse.

Incredible, that this still has not been solved. Please do, this is something very basic.
Any updates on this request?
+1. Just had a client request this for a course I've build for them.
Is there any update here, this would still be very helpful to have as an option
