Someone in the forums had a question regarding how to create a preview icon for their AVI movie they had downloaded off of their still photo camera. I found this to be the quickest and easiest procedure:
- Open the Quicktime file.
- Move slider to the area you wish to be the thumbnail.
- Do a Command-C; this will copy the present frame.
- Now select your Quicktime file in the Finder and do a Command-I to open the Get Info window.
- Select the icon box and do a Command-V to paste the copied frame.
Voila!
