HI,
I dont know what its called. You know how youtube front page or like
every other video streaming site out there, there is a preview image
of that video on the page. So when i embedded the video link, how i do
get that preview image that will link to the video?

Hi Michael,

SkylineCMS does not provide you with the possibility to extract a
preview image from you movie. The easiest way to do what you're after
is to upload a picture as a preview image alongside the video and then
using that picture in your player as a preview image.

I would advise to use JW flv player (http://www.longtailvideo.com/players/jw-flv-player/
) which has the option to add a preview image in the parameters.

Good luck,

Luis Doubrava
