You wanted it, you got it!
Wanted to let you all know that we've just launched a new feature in the video section: the ability to choose your own thumbnail.
After your video is done encoding, you now have the ability to choose between 4-6 thumbnail options in either the MyMedia Meta Inspector or on the video's page via the Edit tab below the player (when you're signed in to your account and it's your video).
Give it a shot next time you upload a video, and as always, please hit us up with your feedback or any issues you have with it via posting in this thread. I've been playing with it a bit today and it works like a charm, although do note that it will take a bit of time to cache and show the updated thumbnail in the video section and on the homepage.

Only ones that were uploaded after we started multiple thumbnail encoding, so that would only go back a month or so.
We could address this and make it back-compatible if more people have a strong need for it.

Note there was a small bug preventing the homepage thumbnails from properly updating. Fix is launching today.
