Preview
- Hover over each thumbnail image, a small rectangle will appear at the top of the thumbnail image.
- Click the rectangular button to preview the video.
- Check for the available thumbnail.

- click 'Create Thumbnail'.
- If the video is a set of truncated videos, you can select a better thumbnail from any of the truncated parts, by playing each of them separately.
Note: This makes it easier to recognize which sets of videos belong together and in what order they should be arranged.
