  We have videos on this site (http://predatorcycling.com/predator-tv/the-lead-out/ and http://predatorcycling.com/predator-tv/encino-track-racing-video/) using VideoPress which work fine but the size of the poster image (the still screenshot that is displayed before the video is played) is very poor quality. It appears that the poster image is being created as 640×360 and is then stretched to meet the size of the video area. How do we get the poster image created in the full size that we need?

  There is a thread here about the same issue which looks like it was resolved – https://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic/poor-quality-videopress-poster-thumbnail-images?replies=15

  Very interesting, I’ve never seen VideoPress embedded at such a size before, and I can definitely say that the poster images were not designed to be that big.

  I’ll pass this on and see if we can do something about that.
