    Default MP4 video poster image?

    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).
