Create video poster images

Jan 9, 2023

You can now automatically create poster images, to use as covers or thumbnails when publishing videos.

• Creating posters from presentations
• Creating posters from markdown scripts
• Creating posters from the API

Narakeet can create the poster image from the first or last frame, or for videos that have an intro or outro section, use an image close to the start or the end.

When the video build completes, click the “Get Poster” button at the bottom. Your browser will download the poster image to the local device, so you can easily publish it with your video.

Creating posters from presentations

When making a video from a presentation, just edit the settings, and look for the poster setting at the bottom.

Creating posters from markdown scripts

Users that create videos from Markdown scripts or using our API can set the poster image using the poster time header.
