| Tip 158 | Set Movie Thumbnails |
If you import a movie file into iTunes, it will automatically set the thumbnail preview you see when looking at a listing of movies in Grid and Cover Flow view modes. The thumbnail is usually based on the first frame of the movie file, which can be annoying if the movie starts with a fade from black or a film/TV studio logo.
You can replace the thumbnail with your own choice by watching the movie and then pausing it on something suitably illustrative. Then right-click the playback area and select Set Poster Frame from the menu that appears.
Note that you might have to quit and then restart iTunes for the thumbnail change to take effect.
