Using first frame of a video as preview?

This isn't a built-in feature right now, but it is a good idea and I will eventually make it work once I fully build out video processing on Blot.

For now, you can approximate the result by taking a screenshot of the first frame, storing it in your folder and then setting the Thumbnail metadata of your post to the path to the image file, e.g.

Thumbnail: /Posts/_video.png

I recognise this workaround isn't ideal but please know that right now Blot doesn't do any video processing – once we add those tools to our pipeline we'll be able to extract the frame and use it as a thumbnail automatically

Please let me know if you have any questions about this or anything else

Thanks! I’m using pages not posts but will have a look at the metadata thumbnails.
