### Manual

Download or clone this repository and place it in `/site/plugins/video-thumbnail`.

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

The plugin works automatically. When a video is uploaded through the Kirby Panel, a thumbnail is generated from the first frame. Use the scrubber that appears below the upload item to select a different frame before confirming the upload.

The thumbnail file is named `{videoname}_thumb.jpg` and receives the `thumb` file template, which you can extend in your own blueprints:

```
# site/blueprints/files/thumb.yml
extends: files/thumb

fields:
  alt:
    type: text
```
