Video marketers say that you gotta have a good thumbnail to attract viewers BUT

Doesn't that kill the "flow" to have a catchy, related image in the middle of your video even for just a second?

That tactic used to be more prevalent but as times evolve its really not necessary to intigrate a catchy image to get more traffic to watch your videos.

There are new methods that can work circles around the one you mentioned.

Dany, most video players let you specify a still image file as a thumbnail, so you don't always need to do a frame grab from within your video to use as a thumbnail.

Between Andy and Frank what is there that these guys don't know about video. What Andy doesn't tell you is that he binned his AVID and uses Windows Movie Maker for everything.

Come on guys, spill some juicy video tactics!
