How to change the thumbnail image for your movie
The thumbnail image for a Jumpcut movie is automatically selected from the first video clip or photo in the movie’s timeline. If you want to change the thumbnail, here’s what to do:
1. Find a video clip that has a thumbnail you like (you may have to upload a new one)
2. Open the movie you want to change in the Jumpcut Editor
3. Go to the +Add tab and drag the new clip from step 1 into first spot in the timeline
4. Zoom in (press z or click on the green +) and drag the clip handles together to set the clip duration to zero
5. The clip won’t play since it has a duration of zero, but the system will select a new thumbnail
Note: We capture thumbs 10 frames in, so consider that if you’re creating a clip specifically for a thumbnail
Also Note: If you don’t have a clip with a thumbnail you like, you can use a photo, but the shortest duration for photos is .01 seconds, so it will play for .01 seconds at the beginning of your movie.
We’re working on making this easier, but for now, this is the way to do it.

Try dragging the horizontal bar in the middle of the editor up to display more of your timeline

Hi, I can't find the 'post new topic' button or the like… so sorry, i'm posting it here.
I would like to 'rotate' my image as it was shot with camera on its side. Is this possible?
It is possible in EYESHOT. Is there a way to transfer what I've done with that system to this one?
Thanks…
