itsyourthing Posted December 7, 2014 Share Posted December 7, 2014 When a video is uploaded for a gig, do you get to select the thumbnail or is it just a random still?Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

itsyourthing Posted December 7, 2014 Author Share Posted December 7, 2014 Aha, but it isn’t any more! (Assuming it actually works.) I just this minute read in the “news” board: http://forum.fiverr.com/discussion/46155/new-feature-choose-your-own-video-thumbnailThanks for the response. 🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seanc99 Posted December 7, 2014 Share Posted December 7, 2014 Thats cool! But you can’t do it when you first add a gig, only when you edit it afterwords Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ugh. You'd think they could come up with a way to load and set a preview of the video before making it live. Oh well, it's a step in the right direction.

seanc99 Posted December 7, 2014 Share Posted December 7, 2014 Reply to @itsyourthing:I have an idea, although it may not make any sense but hear me out.When you first upload a video the preview isn’t available until it is updated, and it could take a while to update a video.And because you can only pick a preview that is in the video, the option is not available until the video is fully uploaded.But why can’t we put our own preview for the video up… (Or maybe I’m being greedy :P)-Sean Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
itsyourthing Posted December 8, 2014 Author Share Posted December 8, 2014 Do you mean, why couldn’t we just set our own still shot as a thumbnail when we upload the video? Basically upload a photo as well as the video? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

itsyourthing Posted December 8, 2014 Author Share Posted December 8, 2014 Reply to @seanc99: I think Fiverr wouldn’t bother making that a possibility. Their priority is having the videos up and running as soon as possible for search. It might add a minute or two extra if they allowed a still and video. 😉 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

itsyourthing Posted December 8, 2014 Author Share Posted December 8, 2014 Reply to @seanc99: Hey, I just checked out your testimonial gig! You’re really good on camera, but you also have an excellent voice. I suggest you put together a voice over gig too! They sell really well here. 🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
