@jmpld40 is it possible to have source video attached?

Becky, can you share the video link for the one you uploaded to the timeline wall yesterday? the thumbnail is black.

Thanks, *Jessie

@jmpld40 the issue here is that video starts with the black screen. We can try to improve it in future, but it would require a bit of investigation and discussions on how to better achieve it. For now, as a workaround, we can use some video editor to manually trim video by about 1 second from the beginning, and then uploading it again. Any other ideas?

@igoroshko I don't think we wish to ask users to edit the videos, can we move 1-2 seconds ahead and take a snapshot with code? how much effort it is?

[igoroshko]

@Dara-K I'm not sure whether it is possible with current 3rd party lib which we are using for generating thumbnails. Also, there is a chance black screen could be exactly at a 2 sec timeline. So, I'll mark it as a New Feature, because we need to investigate it to find the best solution.
