In Progress

Thumbnail for Demo Reel?

Hi! I recently uploaded a new demo reel, and IMDb only generated one slate image for it. Is this a new policy/feature that only one image is generated for uploads now?

In the past when I've uploaded demo reels, multiple slate images have been generated by IMDb so that I could pick the best still to represent the video.

I uploaded the latest demo reel about 4 days ago- I thought maybe with time more slate image options would show up as the video was processed, but that hasn't been the case.

Thank you for your time!

Hi BabyChemist -

Thanks for reporting, our tech team is currently investigating. 

In the meantime, if you provide me with the exact video timestamp I can take a look at updating the thumbnail slate for you?

Hi Michelle,

Thank you so much!

I'd like 0:13 to be the slate image.

Thanks again!

Hello @BabyChemist, 

The thumbnail of the demo reel mentioned has been updated to the image in the time frame requested and should display across all IMDb platforms by tomorrow.

@BabyChemist - thank you again for raising this, our team is actively working on a fix so that future uploads will have multiple slate image available for review selection like we did previously. We're hoping to have this out by next week.
