Featured image is shown only after post published

The current workflow for including a video and having its thumbnail set as featured image is as follows (considering the "Set generated video thumbnails as featured images" option is set and thumbs are being attached to posts):

• upload video,
• click on "generate" button for thumbs,
• select a thumbnail,
• click "insert" to insert the shortcode on the post -> at this point, the featured image won't show up on the post.
• click "publish" -> at this point, the featured image will show up on the post.

If before clicking "Publish" the user sets a featured image by either uploadig a new one or chosing one from the gallery, then the autogenearated thumbnail won't be set as featured image.

Now that I think about it better, it is a non-issue, works as it should. Non-savvy users can just upload the media and publish, and if the user wants to set a different featured image, (s)he is free to do so.

The featured image doesn't show up in the post edit window because it's a tricky Ajax call to get it to happen without saving the post. I do want to add that eventually.
