IntroductionThis tutorial will discuss both the
methods and
benefits of creating a video preview using a
thumbnailer.
This offers several advantages over using
individual single-pic based previews:
1) It is
quicker (you only have to make and upload one multi-scene pic)
2) A one multi-pic preview, puts
less of a load on the SqueezeQueens.com server
CPU.
3) Your video's
technical information is displayed at the top of the preview automatically (in most thumbnailers), meaning that you don't need to write information in the main body of your post such as:
a) File size in MB
b) Length of video in minutes and seconds (run-time)
c) Video format (.wmv .avi .flv .mp4)
d) Resolution (720p HD)
The links given, are safe and verified at the time of writing. However, as with all these applications:
*You Download At Your Own Risk*.
I currently use Video Thumbnails Maker by ScorpClick here to download it.
Here's a quick, step by step guide to basic thumbnail creation, once the app is installed on your computer.






Beware, some older versions of these various thumbnailers are not compatible with Windows 8.
Scorp (the one above) works fine.
Feel free to
google these various
thumbnailer applications, for
user-reviews, prior to downloading. Here are some download links:
