I am trying to import an mp4 video into a web page by the recommended drag and drop method.
Does anyone know a way of setting the poster image for the video rather than the gray player that appears?

I seem to remember that a placeholder image for such files was automatically generated when imported but, like you, I only see the gray player image.
Meh. No use at all for a portfolio site. Oh well. I guess I'll have to use youtube.
You could try this:-
1. Drag’n’drop video clip to page
2. Preview page (F5)
3. Take screenshot (PrtScrn on your keyboard)
4. Open new document (Ctrl+O)
5. Paste bitmap.
6. Crop to video image.
7. Copy to clipboard (Ctrl+C)
8. Go back to document with your video clip & paste image (Ctrl+V)
9. Position exactly ontop of video clip
10. Send to back (Ctrl+B).
