  When I upload a video and I want to set a custom thumbnail, I have to play the entire video to the part that I want and then save the thumbnail. Usually I already know the approximate location of the frame I want. The problem is that the player does not seem to be able to seek to a certain time like I would expect. It seems like a bug.

  Hi there,

  When you’re setting a custom thumbnail for a VideoPress video, you’ll need to play the video to the point where you want to capture the thumbnail image. You can find the instructions for that here: http://en.support.wordpress.com/videopress/#frequently-asked-questions

  However, I’ve passed along your comments to our team so they can consider adding that feature. Thanks for the feedback!
