I uploaded a few video clips by FTP (their size exceed the upload limitation) but I can't figure out how to add the thumbnail to each clip. I saw the official sample's got nice thumbnails, how to do that? thank you.

Sorry, but Imagevue can’t create thumbnails for video because your server doesn’t have the modules to do this. Instead, you can create thumbnails manually if you dont want to use the generic thumbnail video icon that is automatically created.

You would need to take screenshots of your videos or use get thumbnails somehow from an app on your local computer. I found these applications which might be handy, although I didnt try them personally:

Video thumbnails are created using ffmpeg program that should be installed on your server. If you do have it installed an Imagevue is unable to auto-detect the location, you can manually specify the path ffmpeg in Imagevue settings.
