There are moments when FFmpeg is quicker at doing video editing tasks on Linux.

Lets say, for example, you want to extract a frame from your video to use as a thumbnail on a video sharing website. All you have to do is calculate the FPS of the video (@30FPS) and the time in seconds that you want to extract your frame (60 seconds) and multiple them (30*60=1800).

ffmpeg -i input.mp4 -vf "select=eq(n\,1800)" -vframes 1 thumbnail.png

PeerTube 6.2 now offers a new way for users to display a videos thumbnails.

Before, you had the ability to select an image as your video thumbnail. In your account, you had the option to upload an image to your Peertube account and use it as your video thumbnail.

In Peertube 6.2 you can now use a frame from your video as your video thumbnail. Thanks to Kent Anderson for this external contribution!
