You can quickly create and download a cover image (thumbnail) from any moment in your video by saving a frame directly from the video preview.
Step-by-step Instructions
Open your project in the editor.
Play the video until you reach the frame you want to use as the cover.
Pause the video at the exact moment you want.
Right-click directly on the video preview.
Select “Save Image As…”, choose a folder on your computer and save the image.
✅ That saved image can now be used as your cover image.
Tips for Best Results
Pause on a frame where the screen is clear and readable.
Avoid motion blur—pause on a moment where nothing is moving quickly.
If you want a specific frame, use the timeline to scrub slowly and pause precisely.
Use your keyboard arrow keys for precision:
After pausing the video, press the Left Arrow (←) or Right Arrow (→) keys to move frame-by-frame, so you can select the exact moment you want.
FAQ
What format will the downloaded image be?
Most browsers save it as PNG by default.
Why don’t I see “Save Image As…”?
Some browsers restrict it depending on the video playback method. Try:
Using Chrome
Opening the video editor in a new tab
Playing the video first and pausing it
Right-clicking after pausing the playback directly on the video preview area (not the narration editor)
