- Here you can select either the Gif or picture thumbnail. Simply choose “GIF” or “Image” on the top of the page and then click “select from video”:
- When you have selected the gif or the picture, choosing a new picture or gif from the video works the same way. You are able to select a new thumbnail from the video by dragging the play bar. When you have found the sweet spot, click “Capture” and you are done!
