Does anyone know if there is a formula or method (oh yes, I am actually asking for a workaround!) - to generate thumbnails from videos uploaded using the file picker. I know there is a way to generate the thumbnail for youtube/dailymotion/vimeo hosted videos and already using that. Appreciate any id…

I used a default image for user generated videos. The client obviously doesn’t likes it as much as they would have liked a frame of video at the top. But to give it a feel that the user is supposed to click into it, I overlayed the default video image with the caption for the image. Used tiles layou…

Yes, default image is the only option I could think of as well - was hoping though to have a way to generate the thumbnail…will see if anyone else has a solution or this will definitely be what I have to do in the meantime! :sweat_smile:

@deena i‘m thought you could fetch the video to cloudinary and then use the way they generate thumbnails. But fetch doesn’t work for videos. Auto upload does work with videos but I expect that this will not work as you have the video at glide and I don’t think cloudinary can get access to “folder”.…

I read something yesterday from Cloudinary (I think in their newsletter) where you can generate a thumbnail from a video. If it can be done, it’s through cloudinary, for sure

I saw this today, https://cloudinary.com/blog/auto_generate_video_previews_with_great_results_every_time not tried it yet :slight_smile:

Ah, fantastic. Thank you @Krivo , @eltintero and @Rosewebstudio ! I will look into this. Funny how we often end up at Cloudinary’s door! :grin:

@Deena let us know how you get the videos from glide to cloudinary :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

Well don’t hold your breath, but if I get it sorted, you’ll be the first to know! :sweat_smile:

Anyone get this to work yet? Would LOVE to have a thumbnail url of the video uploaded through Glide. Very much needed in social media type apps.

It also appears that videos uploaded via file picker aren’t displaying in video component or via direct link: https://storage.googleapis.com/glide-prod.appspot.com/uploads-v2/SElz4LO2ghAFV5uAW0Xy/pub/9rP4sloqZqRMkS5WG3aU.mp4 [Screen Shot 2020-12-16 at 9.27.46 AM] [Screen Shot 2020-12-16 at 9.29.…
