How do I use a video thumbnail as the icon for a video clip in windows?

Question

Instead of the little film icon that is there automatically? I have a ton of videos and it's impossible to find the video I want because I have to open and play every video to find the one i want. Is there a way to make it so the icon is a video thumbnail instead of the little icon?

Answer 1

HI..



Click the view tab.. or Tools > Folder options >View> Uncheck "Always show icons never thumbnails >Apply.



Not every file will show thumbnails..

Why not have the video titles (text) displayed , would save all that searching. ....



The menu bar has several display options to select , If you have not got the "Menu bar" displayed in your videos location then press Alt for it to appear ..

Answer 2

There's an app called "Cascading Slides" that makes viewing large collections of pics and videos a breeze, and YOU CAN ASSIGN YOUR OWN SCREENSHOTS AS VIDEO THUMBNAILS.
