Creating Thumbnails

When I render a video to my computer, it doesn't always give the best thumbnail. Is there a way to apply a created thumbnail to my rendered videos? Thank you.

Not easily, last time I looked into it.

If I'm not mistaken, Happy Otter Render Plus can do that.

From Happy Otter Website:

" Add Custom Video Thumbnail.  If checked, a Video Thumbnail can be added to the rendered file.  This can be useful for displaying the desired image in Windows file explorer as well as media players.  Only jpg or png image formats are supported.  Use of this option requires a copy of the original file with the added image metadata.  Upon completion, the original file is deleted."

Haven´t noticed that before, thx snibchi1
