Can I change a thumbnail on a video?
Right now it is showing a black screen, is there a way to add a thumbnail image from my video as the cover instead of a black screen?
Further to my answer from, goodness, 3 years back. I find that this is a simple workaround (and I'll keep the tools simple too):
Open PowerPoint. On Slide 1. create your poster/title frame.
On Slide 2. Place your video (remember to set the "Playback" to "Automatically"
Set the Transition on Slide 1. to "None" and set the "Advance Slide" to "After 00:00.01"
Save as "MP4" and you should now have a video that will display correctly on your course and will smoothly transition from the Title card to the video.
Here's an example of what I've outlined: https://rise.articulate.com/share/Cm6hSihs-d_tZIFPFwbzjoRLI_buflAO
