User problem

Currently the video image is snap shot on 5 sec after the video played. The image might not be the image that user like.

Options

  1. Add image field so the user can upload their own video snapshot
    • con: user has to know how to capture their own image
    • pro: user can upload any image they want, doesn't have to be from the video
  2. add float time field where the video snap shot is taken
    • con: best done if the async tasks for transcoding and image extraction are separated otherwise its costly.
    • con: is the timing specific enough to get the right frame?
    • pro: simple enough for the user to do. Play the video, find the frame, record the time, enter it.

Any feedback?
