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.

  1. The first step is to open the Zentu Encoder in expert mode and load your video.

  2. Now select Play from the Preview button at the top left of the application. Your video will play in the lower left.

  4. When the video reaches a point that would make a nice preview image press pause. You can use the slider bar to make adjustments.

  5. To create a snapshot of what you see click the camera icon on the player tool bar.

  7. 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.

  8. 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.
