Creating a Thumbnail

You can create up to 200 thumbnails for a video as follows:
1.
Start the video playing, ether by clicking play in the video playback panel or by clicking play on a
thumbnail image.
2.
Wait until the video reaches the moment you want to mark.
3.
Click Add new Thumbnail to add a new thumbnail to the Thumbnail bar. This thumbnail marks your
current video playback position and a thumbnail image is captured from the video playback. Note that
you can set the Pause on Add checkbox to force the video playback to pause when you add a thumbnail.
Occasionally there will be some discrepancy between the time when you press
Create Thumbnail and the time when the image is captured from the video. This is an
artifact of the way some compressed video formats work.

Deleting a Thumbnail

Unwanted thumbnails can be deleted by clicking on the red arrow in the top right corner of the thumbnail.

Adding Descriptive Text to a Thumbnail

Once you have created a thumbnail you add descriptive text to provide further information for users. Click on
the pencil (edit) icon or within the text field to edit the thumbnail text, see FIG. 97. Once you are satisfied,
click the floppy disk (save) icon to save your changes, see FIG. 98 . You can undo your changes by clicking on
the curved (undo) arrow. Up to 5000 characters are allowed.
