I importing my digital scans of home videos into Photos. Some of my videos begin with a second or two of black until the image shows up, but the black image is shown as the thumbnail (or preview) when I see the video in the list in Photos.
Can this be changed to show a frame that I chose instead of the first frame of the video?
I'm thinking something similar to how albums have the option to "make key photo"

There is no command to set a key frame for a video in Photos on the iPhone, but you could trim the video and remove the black frames at the start: Edit photos and videos on iPhone - Apple Support
Trim a video
To undo the trim after you save, open the video, tap Edit, then tap Revert.
Note: A video saved as a new clip can’t be reverted to the original.
