Creating Thumbnails
You can create thumbnails for all videos stored in the Media Library that were recorded on the Portal
Server. If given publishing permissions, you can replace the generic video clip icon with a
snapshot of the video or with any .jpg or .gif image you choose. The folders to which you can
upload thumbnails are configured by an VEMS Portal Server administer. (Note that
thumbnail images that exceed 512 K in size are not displayed in the VOD list on a WM IP
Receiver; a special icon is used instead).
