Hello,
I would like to know if it is possible to change the thumbnail of a video?
What I would like is to replace the video thumbnail with a jpg image.. something like putting the movie poster
Is it possible?

I DID IT!
After searching for a long time on the internet in French and English, I found a somewhat makeshift method, but to my great surprise, it works!
So for all those who have struggled like me and are wondering if forums can help them; well this time yes!
==> In fact, I considered my video files as music files, so I looked to modify the thumbnail like for a regular music file; there are plenty of software options available for this, like MP3 Tag (the most well-known I believe).
So we open our directory of video files with MP3 Tag (add directory/ ctrl+h) and select a video,
then we go to the bottom left of the screen, where the icon (or not) of the cover image is located, and we right-click > "add cover/image"; we save and there you go!
( PS :) You can add multiple images in succession to choose later, you can also drag and drop from an internet image (it's faster), you can export the image from a video in jpg....
( little bonus :) If your video file won’t be modified, it may be in a rare format, so I recommend converting your videos to a standard format (.avi / .mpg etc...). Personally, I use AVC (Any Video Converter) which has always succeeded in my conversions and which I recommend.
