Not talking about using embed codes, actual videos.

By Default wordpress does not generate thumbnails for videos. Im currently working on something when you upload a video you can do a few things, play the video in the media modal and select pick frame, you can also select first frame as thumbnail, you can have it generate 10 thumbnails in the browser and you select which one to use. this is all done in the browser without ffmpeg.

Question i have is for part 2 of the plugin, what style do you prefer for animated thumbs on hover on the frontend.

Two methods are available really, generate a bunch of thumbs and cycle through them on hover. and the other method which is newer that i have seen of use more (kvs) is generate a preview.mp4 and preview.webm and that is shown on hover.

Curious what method you guys like the best.

thumb cycle or preview video on hover.

I think the preview on hover is more smooth, the cycle of thumbs looks more choppy.

Part 2 wont require ffmpeg either, as im impolementing ffmpeg.wasm incase the user is on shared hosting or doesnt have access to install ffmpeg/

Look forward to some input
