Thumbnail Editor
The thumbnail editor allows users to create video thumbnails, effectively bookmarks to certain points in your
video. Each thumbnail contains an image captured from the video at the time of creation along with some
descriptive text to describe its purpose. The thumbnail editor consists of two screens:

Archive Navigation Screen - this is the first screen. It is used to select those videos you want to
work on.

Thumbnail Editor Screen - this screen is used to view, create, or edit thumbnails for a video selected
using the Archive Navigation screen.

The thumbnail editor requires Internet Explorer 8 (x32bit) web browser or later running on Windows XP or
