Hi there, I have loaded an MP4 video into one of my Rise courses. The thumbnail Rise has generated isn't great (my video subject looks half asleep), but I am not sure how to change it. I noticed on another thread a suggestion to add an image as the first frame instead of starting with video. Would this be a work around I could use in this situation?
Same here - Helpful to have the feature/capability of adding a thumbnail via Rise. (We were not able to use Vimeo, as then we lose the needed RISE settings to prevent the user from skipping over the video.)
+1 for me as well. Developers should have control over the content end users see and it should be one that is polished and professional looking. Did this ever get added?
Hi Melissa! Thanks for following up on this, no update for you just yet. We'll reach out here in this thread if there are any changes that are made. Here's our current roadmap for your reference.
Hello, any update regarding this topic? That few published Roadmap items are there already quite a long time and with not much visible changes in time.
Choosing a thumbnail is a simple feature almost all players offer. Only Articulate has done nothing past 4 years, which is truly a pitty :(
How many posts need to be made? How many people need to comment in agreement? How many years need to go by? How many Rise updates with other features need to be released first?

Right on Jez - my company ain't gonna go for Vimeo hosted vids right now. It would be nice!
Youtube has similar fix...
Another voice for being able to add a custom thumbnail please.
Even if it's choosing a timecode to reference in the video, that would be a significant improvement rather than needing to create workarounds.
Another +1 for the feature request of being able to choose your video thumbnail in Rise!
+1 to adding this feature...with so many software options for editing videos...it's tough adding one more step of Replay + image... Thanks!
And yet another +1 to be able to choose your video thumbnail in Rise.
+1 This seems like a fairly simple feature to add...what is the status on this?

I would like this feature. I don't want to have to edit every video I use. Thank you for considering.

Let. us. add. custom. thumbnails.
+1 on custom thumbnails (or at least choosing one from multiple generated thumbnails).
