Is it possible for the movie thumnail to be the first frame of the movie????

This would make the movie feature very sexy.

I use gallery for our balloon site.

Sexy? How so? :smile:

Totally off that topic - I'm so glad you posted your Gallery link. I used to design balloon bouquets and balloon weddings a few years back - it was one of my favourite jobs of all times. People never understand when I tell them what I did, now I can show them your gallery and hopefully they'll understand! Looking thru your albums brought back some fond memories for me. Thank you!

Regards,

Gaile

It would be good for the viewer to see what they have in store - rather than a pic of a camera.

some of our movies are large and a small pic would give the user a preview of what they will see.

You'd have to find a program that somehow created an image (gif/jpg/png) of the first frame of the movie. You'd have to reduce this to thumbnail size and display it. This would require a special program and lots of code editing :sad:

EDIT: I don't know if such a program even exists, either.
