Video Thumbnails

If you are you looking for simple ways to improve your media content’s appearance on publishing platforms such as your website, your OTT / ConnectedTV Apps, your mobile apps etc. then this week's Tip of the Week is just for you! Custom video thumbnails are a great way to give your video channels and galleries a more professional look. This will allow you to control the corporate design and branding of your websites, mobile apps and TV apps in a very easy, but efficient way.
 
The LightcastOVP allows you to control the look of your video galleries across multiple platforms in real-time by uploading your video cover artwork as custom thumbnails. This could be the logo of your TV Show, or the creative for a topic or series, or movie cover artwork.
 
Alternatively you can choose one of the auto-generated video thumbnails from your uploaded videos. In order to make your upload available for publishing instantly upon successful transcoding, the system auto-selects one of the thumbnails. You can always change the auto-generated thumbnail on the "video edit” page and it will update across all your connected publishing properties - websites, mobile apps and TV apps - in real-time.
