Creating Thumbnails

You can create thumbnails for all videos stored in the Media Library that were recorded on the Portal
Server. If given publishing permissions, you can replace the generic video clip icon with a
snapshot of the video or with any .jpg or .gif image you choose. The folders to which you can
upload thumbnails are configured by an VEMS Portal Server administer. (Note that
thumbnail images that exceed 512 K in size are not displayed in the VOD list on a WM IP
Receiver; a special icon is used instead).
To create a thumbnail:
1. Launch a stored video and click
capture the first frame in the video. This will automatically replace the existing thumbnail
if any.
2. Repeat until you are satisfied or mouseover the title and click the Remove Thumbnail
icon to replace it with the generic icon.
To upload your own thumbnail image:
1. Launch a video and select
2. Browse to the jpg or gif image and click
3. Click
Cancel
