Changing the thumbnail in iMovie
How do I change the thumbnail pic in my iMovie? It keeps randomly selecting a scene from somewhere in the movie that is not helpful in identifying the movie.

Hi,
iMovie appears randomly to pick a frame at the midpoint of the movie to make its thumbnail. There is no setting to utilize that allows for manually selecting the thumbnail. Various proposed solutions have been unreliable. You can try adding a black background to the beginning and/or end of the movie, of whatever duration you want, to change the midpoint. Or adding or removing transitions.
There is a way, albeit somewhat complicated, of manually changing the thumbnail of a movie that you share to Theater. Take a look at this link (read it all the way through):
