Stop randomly selecting meaningless blurry thumbnails from your user-generated videos and start engaging your users with our Intelligent Video Thumbnail extraction. We've got SDKs in multiple languages and an easy-to-use API, and the first 10 GB are free!
Hey! I'm one of the developers of this! It's our solution to a problem we were seeing all the time: for user-generated video, we needed the thumbnails to be great high-quality choices to increase clicks from other users. We used ML to find sharper, brighter, more interesting thumbnails for your videos and we made the magic available via an API.
A great/engaging thumbnail can surprisingly increase user engagement by almost 2x ( https://mediamachine.io/blog/art... ) !
Too many sites are extracting thumbnails with one of these methodologies from the Hall of Lame:
* Select a frame from the first few seconds.
* Pick a random frame from the video.
So how do we do better?
Well the short answer is that we take a combination of measurements of contrast, sharpness, luminance, and pixel uniformity from each frame and extract the best one. Read more about it here: https://mediamachine.io/blog/art...
@edita Basically: videos that are created/uploaded by your users to share with your other users. Anything from product testimonials, to video-sharing sites (like youtube), etc.
