IMDb Featured Video - Select Still for Featured Video

Re the Featured Video that's front and center - could we please add the ability to choose a screengrab from the Featured Video? That way, a relevant image can show up next to the profile page (sometimes the seemingly random selected video still is irrelevant, and at worst distracting). Instagram for instance does a good job with this when posting a video, with the additional option of choosing an image from other sources). Thank you!

Hello @gimdbcommunity,

To select a desired slate image for your demo reel, you can make the change by clicking "Edit" from the Your Videos page.

If there is a separate clip from the video you would like to use, please confirm and write us back with the time frame.

Hi @Jon - thanks for letting me know about the demo reel screengrab option. I was hoping for a similar option for the main IMDB profile page (not when viewing via Pro): where the selected featured video (chosen by IMDB or the User) that's to the right of the headshot - there are many times where the featured video screengrab isn't relevant or is misleading.

Hello @gimdbcommunity,

Yes, you can select the slate image for your demo reels and also for your primary demo reel (the video next to the headshot in the IMDb name page):

The steps shared above allow you to change the slate image to the one you want displayed next to your headshot.

Please let me know if I am understanding you correctly or not.
