[FFmpeg-user] Embed thumbnail on MP4

[Rich Alderwick]

Hi there

I was wondering if it was possible to embed some video art into an MP4 file using FFMPEG?

If so, can you please tell me what the command is?

I know it is possible to add video art using some software called MetaX, but I was wondering if it could be done via FFMPEG.


I have added video art to an mp4 file using MetaX, then used the "FFMPEG -i" command to see if there was any information about the image. This is what I got:


Input #0, mov,mp4,m4a,3gp,3g2,mj2, from 'input.mp4':
  Metadata:

As you can see on the bottom row, it detects the image is present because the 160x90 was the size of the image in pixels

Many thanks for any help you can offer!
Cheers
