One person's request for Fediverse applications —

Alex wants to be able to choose what the preview image is for a video, chosen from the frames in the video.

...

I can imagine editing tools (in Fediverse applications) would also be useful.

It is also common elsewhere for people to be able to use custom images for preview images.

From Alex (@folduptoys@socel.net):

"I wish i could set the thumbnail preview on these [videos] lol"

You CAN choose the thumbnail... on #PeerTube at least
