Gif based video Embeds

This is a suggestion to make video thumbnail more powerful. 3-4 seconds of gif instead of static image thumbnail can make the player and thumbnail engaging even without playing.

You can generate the GIF separately and upload in the thumbnail section on video settings page. Learn how to generate gif thumbnail: https://docs.gumlet.com/docs/images-from-video#generating-a-gif-from-a-video
Automated gif for video embeds is only available to enterprise users at this moment.

I would love to have a GIF of the video instead of a screenshot (before the video starts), like on the homepage of Loom: https://www.loom.com/

Since we launched the unmute button for autoplay videos, we are moving this to Under Review list.
However, you can upload gif thumbnails to Gumlet and get the similar experience.
Also, you can create GIFs from your videos using this guide - https://docs.gumlet.com/docs/images-from-video#generating-a-gif-from-a-video

Anshul Can you build this GIF-creator in to the Thumbnail and Embed areas, so we can get GIFs automatically without having to find this code, and so we can embed GIFs in to e-mails?
Anshul
hypertrophicentertainment, for now this is the way. However, we are revamping our dashboard, video library and settings. We will take up this request in the new experience.

It would be great if we can have a longer gif or a preview video played automatically (mute) which makes it very engaging for people to click and watch the video, but when someone clicks it should start the video from the beginning with sound. You can see an example of such video on this page: www.dotcomsecrets.com (see the top video).
At the moment, we have the ability to autoplay the video which makes it play automatically without sound (mute) but when someone clicks the video it doesn't start from the beginning, rather just enables the sound (unmutes the video) but the video keeps playing from the same point. Ideal would be if the video starts from the beginning so that the marketing message in the video is delivered fully, because it's a common practice in marketing videos that the start of the video has an interesting "hook" that hooks the audience to the video so they keep watching. If they miss the "hook" then the message is incomplete.
