Under Thumbnails and Trailer, you can add a trailer, a thumbnail, and a thumbnail rotation sequence for the video.

Trailer

A trailer is a snippet that will be played for a visitor when they hover over a video’s thumbnail.

A snippet may be added in one of two ways. First, you can paste a direct link to the snippet into the Tracker URL field. Alternatively, you can click the Select button to the right of the field, which will open the Media Library, where you can upload a new file.

Note: Only MP4 and WebM formats are supported for video trailers.

Thumbnail

A video’s Main thumbnail is its visual representation. Along with its title, the main thumbnail will be shown on all pages where the video appears.

You can set a custom thumbnail for each video by using either the Main thumbnail field or the Select button to its right. This process is identical to the trailer process explained above.

Note: Only PNG, JPEG, JPG, and GIF formats are supported for video thumbnails.

Thumbnail Rotation

If no trailer is available for the video, you can select up to ten images that will rotate when a user hovers over the video’s thumbnail.
