Thumbnails Windows 10

[rodamozu]

Hey guys! this is my first post here, long time fan, first time poster, haha. I wanna do some video editing and I wanted to use a clapboard with the info of the video, but windows is displaying like a mid video frame instead of first frame, I´ve looked everywhere with no luck so I thought this was the best place with people with a lot of knowledge to know about this.

So in summary I want windows 10 so show up first frame of my video for video editing.

In advance, to all, thanks a lot!

Thumbnail preview rely on the codec installed to fetch a thumbnail. By default, Windows doesn't have this option with its built-in codec.

The thumbnails may change if you replace Windows built-in codecs with another one.

 

Another choice is that Windows support loading a meta-data image of a video. You can edit it via a software with ease, like with this open source program: TagEditor - https://github.com/Martchus/tageditor

You just have to do it for each of your video files one-by-one. Maybe you can do something via command line with this utility, and then make a Batch script (or PowerShell script), to perform the task automatically to all videos in a folder, for example... assuming again you can, I didn't check.

 

Else then that, I am afraid your only choice is to make your own Thumbnail preview handler extension for File Explorer to replace the default one for all video formats you need which does what you want. You can, but assuming you have the programming know-how, it is a lot of work, especially if you want to support multiple codecs and formats.

 

Else, you need to use a program that does this via its own custom file explorer panel, like mentioned above.
