+1. C'mooooooon Articulate. Don't let us down for another 3+ years on this one. (but also "thanks" for everything you DO do for us. Great products overall) :)
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.
Seems pretty ridiculous that after three years we still don't have this basic functionality. That said, Brenda... that's a good solution. I do something very similar using Wondershare Filmora (video editing software). I just add an image to the front of my video, set it to one second, and then export. It's not really a big deal to do when it's just one here and there. However, I've had projects before where I had 15-20 videos and that's where it gets tedious.
I also believe this feature should be added to Rise360. We run courses with mainly short video content and the workarounds for this, while not cumbersome, take time!
+1 for this. At the same time I offer an apology to all the people who now gets an unnecessary mail since there isn't any better idea portal here than leaving a comment.
Probably won't make a difference seeing as the staff have stopped replying to this post over a year ago but if there are people literally asking for this for years then maybe it should be considered? If a hack or workaround is required then it's obviously not the right UX for the learners.
It's now almost 4 years later and this issue has not been fixed yet. Is there any plan on Articulate's end to implement the ability to change video thumbnails?
I'm receiving tickets from users claiming that videos are not loading because it only appears as a black screen.

+1 I agree. It would be a nice to have control over setting something as simple as a thumbnail to avoid learner confusion.
+1 we really need this feature!
+1 for the feature request, it would be a great experience enhancement and time saver!
+1 Would have much preferred this option to Themes, or redesigning the homepage. Please give us these very basic features!!

Hi Crystal,
Originally this thread started many years ago, can you confirm if this option is available now? If yes then how can I make the changes in Rise 360?
Thanks,

Any updates on this in the last 2 years? I think this is indeed really annoying.

To use the first frame is very limiting, as the first frame is never relevant content.
The solution of adding a frame to the start of every video is very cumbersome.

Here's an example of what I've outlined: https://rise.articulate.com/share/Cm6hSihs-d_tZIFPFwbzjoRLI_buflAO

throwing my name in the mix too! I can do this elsewhere thankfully, but it's just an annoyance when it could be easily done in Rise.

+1 for the option to add a thumbnail image to videos in Rise360

Please implement this soon. 🙏
Also agree that this would be very useful and is really missing at the moment
Any movement on this? It should be an easy feature to incorporate. This thread is 4 years old, why has it not been addressed?

Plus one for the Rise thumbnail feature please!

How's the roadmap for this functionality, guys?
Bumping this thread.
