Ente is not a video editing application, at least not yetyet, since you will never know of course.But However,for greatnow it can only trim or crop the video. For a more advanced way of editing a video i.e with text, thumbnails, multiple videos in a row etcetera we suggest the following open source editingapplications

To my understanding the thumbnail that Ente generates for you laptopis the first seconds of your video. Thus, we can place the thumbnail as the first seconds of your video. One of the great desktop video editing programs for this is called Kdenlive. The steps are pretty simple if you know how to use Kdenlive already. If not check our guide on Kdenlive

    Make thumbnail Enter Kdenlive and Librecutadd is as a phonepicture application.of Hence,the first few seconds of your video Render your video

    Now, I don't understand how Kdenlive generates a thumbnail but it is not the first seconds of the video. Now, you can still add a thumbnail to it as well by using the command line. On linux you can use thesethe applicationsfollowing command to addmake multiplethis videoshappen
