The thumbnail of our Gig's video is very important. It's what the buyers see when they search through the variety of gigs. As I learned today the thumbnail is set automatically and randomly by Fiverr, which may be very bad if the wrong image is chosen. This may lead to losing clients due to unattractive image.
This is why I suggest to have the option to choose the moment from our video which we want to be our thumbnail.
It is already done in a video sharing website, which I won't mention because it may be considered as advertising. What you do there is just go to the video's settings, then you start the video and when the moment you want to be your thumbnail comes you pause the video and press a small camera icon placed at the upper corner of the video and the frame becomes your new thumbnail. It's that easy.

I would love to see this feature at Fiverr as well. After all the thumbnail here actually sells. Unlike the other site, where you upload videos just for fun.
