Preview

When hovering over each thumbnail image, a small rectangle will appear at the top of the thumbnail image.

Click to preview the video.

Check for the available thumbnail. If the thumbnail is not representative of the video content, play and pause the video until you find a clearer image and then click 'Create Thumbnail'. 

If the video is a set of truncated videos, you can play each truncated part separately by selecting it from the drop-down menu. You can even select a better image for thumbnail from any of the truncated parts.

This makes it easier to recognise which sets of videos belong together and in what order they should be arranged.
