How to Create a preview image for your video.
Before you show your video to the world a preview picture might be nice. This will show you how it can be done with your Zentu encoder.
- The first step is to open the Zentu Encoder in expert mode and load your video.
- Now select Play from the Preview button at the top left of the application. Your video will play in the lower left.
- When the video reaches a point that would make a nice preview image press pause. You can use the slider bar to make adjustments.
- To create a snapshot of what you see click the camera icon on the player tool bar.
- You are now given a choice of where to save this image and what format you would like to save it as. The choice of format is a personal one, I prefer .jpg for it's versatility.
- Now you have a preview of your movie you can use for your website. You can use this as a link or even as a begining/ending image in your zentu video.
